Forget carpet, then you don't have to worry about it. My house has none of the nasty stuff. Parquet or stone tile. ( and underfloor heating )Down with racism. Long live miscegenation! -

But it looks so much better, and the blood washes right out.
tbh, we have stone tiles on the stair - they're not that slick, even with socks.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

I used to always go for the best carpet and underlay I could find. Now I always go for middle of the range carpet and cheap underlay.
I replace my carpets every 5-6 years so paying through the nose is pointless.Eat Right, Exercise, Die Anyway.Comment

If you're looking at stuff like tredair then it doesnt matter - its all rubbish.
If however you go for the thick felt stuff then yes it does make a difference and you will notice. Even a moderate carpet will feel like a top quality one.Comment

yuk,
carpets
uurrrggghhhhhh
as was already said, you don't want carpets,
wooden floors and terracota floor tiles
of course where you have floor tiles you should have underfloor heating
there is nothing more disgusting than dirty gruby carpets which look great
but hold all the bacteria in the house
as for the stairs, absolute hobnob, nothing is more slippery for socks than carpet covered stairs

Axminster and only the best underlay.
Scope out the New Axminster Riverbed. Carpet to last you a lifetime, so you might as well get good underlay too.Confusion is a natural state of beingComment
