Carpet Types For The Bedroom

Hardwood floors have become one of the most popular options in flooring, except that many people still want their bedroom floor covered in carpet. This is due to the fact that many people enjoy putting their feet down on a warm, cozy carpet first thing in the morning. When it comes to carpeting, there is a wide variety of types and colors to choose from to fit any decor.


Textured Carpeting


Textured carpets are popular choices for rooms that receive less traffic such as bedrooms. A textured carpet is tightly twisted so that it does not show tracks and footprints easily. Textured carpets have a mid-range durability. Textured carpets can be purchased with designs in the carpet and there are many designs on the market to choose from.


Saxony Carpeting


Saxony carpet is a good choice for someone that wants to have a more formal feel to their bedroom. Saxony carpets are luxurious and elegant carpets that have a soft, smooth, velvety look and feel. Saxony carpets have a deeper pile, so they may not be the best choice for high traffic areas or a child’s bedroom, because they are not the easiest carpet to keep clean.








Cable Carpeting


Cable carpeting is another style of carpeting that has a deep pile. This makes a cable carpet feel great to walk on because they are warm and plush. Like Saxony carpets, cable carpets may not be the best choice of carpeting for high traffic areas.


Plush Carpeting


Plush carpets are very much like cable carpets except that the pile can be even deeper and they have a slight sheen to the yarn. This is another type of carpet that feels good to walk on and works well in low traffic areas. Plush carpets may be the number one choice for bedroom carpets because of the soft feel of this type of carpet.


Looped Carpeting


Looped carpets are also known as Berber carpeting. Looped carpeting is very durable because the yarn is not cut. Looped carpets are a good choice for high traffic areas of the home and are also used in bedrooms. Many people like the looped carpets because they do not show tracks or footprints like many of the deep pile carpets. Looped carpets are a great multipurpose carpet and are very popular because of their versatility.
