Factors To Keep In Mind When Buying A Bedroom Carpet

If you own a carpet for your bedroom, then there’s something you should know. When it comes to carpeting in the bedroom, keep these 5 factors in mind:

1. Size – Carpet is usually sold by the square meter. To figure out how much carpet you need, measure the length and width of your room and multiply these two numbers together to get the total square footage. Then divide that number by nine (since one square meter = 1.3 square yards), which will give you an approximation of how many rolls of carpet you’ll need to purchase.

2. Material – The material used in making carpet has an effect on its price as well as its durability and warmth.

3. Pile height – When it comes to carpet, pile height refers to the level of carpet fibers. A carpet with a shorter pile will most likely be more affordable and require less maintenance, but it may not last as long or feel as soft on your feet. A carpet with a higher pile (which is typically more expensive) will be softer and more comfortable to walk on but also prone to shedding and looking flat sooner compared to carpets with lower piles.

4. Pattern – There are dozens of carpet patterns out there; some simpler than others. You can find carpet in stripes, chevron, paisley, floral, quatrefoil, solid, etc., so make sure you like the pattern before purchasing.

5. Material composition – To get the maximum carpet life and durability, opt for carpet with a nylon or olefin material composition. Such carpets will also typically be green in color. They won’t absorb as much moisture or odors, which makes them perfect for carpeting your bedroom.

However, carpet made of polypropylene – which is more affordable – will not wear as well but may lift less. It’s up to you whether you prefer environmental friendliness and quality carpeting over affordability and look and feel.
