Which carpet fibers offer the best benefits?

There are several different carpet fibers, each offering characteristics and benefits that differ from the rest. Choosing what's best for you can only happen when you match your needs to the benefits that fit them best.

However, the more you know about what's available, the better decisions you can make. So, here are a few fibers and their benefits for your consideration.

Which fiber fits your needs?


Nylon is a fantastic general-purpose fiber that meets extensive beauty, durability, and protection needs. In addition, it's the most common choice and easy to find, which means our carpet store won't need to make a particular order when you choose it.

Polyester is often sought-after for its stunning color choices and comes with a good amount of stain protection. However, it should be avoided in areas of high traffic because it tends to mat and crush under constant wear.

Wool is an all-natural material that's more expensive than most fibers, but it also offers outstanding characteristics that make it worth the added budget. It's best to place wool products in areas not prone to dampness, moisture, or humidity because this carpet flooring can retain up to 10 times its weight in liquids.
