What is the Best Carpet for Bedrooms ?

The best carpet for a bedroom depends on whose bedroom it is . A master suite or a guest room will likely not have a lot of traffic or a lot of soiling and or staining . A child or teen may be much harder on their bedroom carpet .
For an adult bedroom , just about any fiber in a plush or texture style will perform well . The new soft carpets are a good choice for a luxury feel underfoot . If you are on a budget , soft polyester might be a good choice .
A kid ’ s bedroom , with a greater likelihood of spills and soil , calls for a stain resistant nylon , or an inherently stain resist polyester carpet fiber .
Keep in mind that solid color carpets are less forgiving of soil , stains or any little crumb dropped or bit of lint . Carpets with a multi-color construction for a heather or tweed look will not show small bits as much and pattern carpets are also much more forgiving .
