No question: wool is the most luxurious carpet by far. Why is it the best carpet? Luxury is about feel, look, and lasting qualities. Luxury impresses today and it continues to impress years down the road.
Natural Material
Wool is a natural material, the quality of which reflects in the feel of the carpet – as well as your health. There are far fewer chemicals that off-gas from natural materials as opposed to synthetic counterparts.
It Feels Good
Wool feels reassuring. It’s soft. It has give. It’s naturally coiled, so it takes back its form easily. It doesn’t get matted or indented easily.
Insulation Properties
Wool also makes for exceptional insulation. Wool is thick, and that natural coil makes it even thicker. It’s the best carpet for keeping the temperature you want the room to be at, without losing cooling or heating easily.
Fire Resistant
Wool has a much higher fire resistance than synthetic carpets. This is because wool has a much higher burning point. It has to get hotter before it will take light. It’s less likely to catch fire, and fire will spread more slowly. This can make a big difference for families looking to choose between different carpet materials.
Cleanliness
Another factor to consider is that as a natural material, wool resists staining. A covering called lanolin is naturally found in wool. In fact, some waxes are made from lanolin. This natural covering is safe for people, and gives the carpet a high rating of oil and stain resistance. Spills will still need to get cleaned up, but they’ll be much less likely to set in.
Durability
The most luxurious carpet on Day One still needs to be the most luxurious carpet on Day 1,000. Wool carpet can take wear. Think about it this way. It evolved to protect sheep for their entire lives from wind, rain, dirt, and constant use. A high quality wool carpet can last as long as 25 years. Just as importantly, it will still hold its color and texture over the years.
Helpful for Allergy Sufferers
Wool repels dust mites. They can’t settle into the lanolin coating. That means mites won’t hide out in your carpet and create a worse situation for allergy sufferers.
