Certain rooms in the house call out for carpet, others are ideal for hardwood flooring. While many homeowners prefer the latter for areas like the living room, dining room, even the kitchen, it’s the bedroom that is one of the most popular rooms for laying down carpet..

That’s because carpet provides a range of benefits that can make the room more comfortable and inviting and they are all good reasons why you should choose carpet over hardwood for bedrooms.

Hardwood Flooring

So why do people love hardwood floors in the home, yet might not prefer having it in their bedroom.
For starters, it can be loud and cold. Loud if someone drops something on it or walks across the floor with a hard step, and cold in the mornings when you wake up and step out of bed.

With the former, hardwood flooring is hardly forgiving when it comes to sound as the whole house can hear when shoes go clip-clopping across the room. Dropping even a lightweight object can reverberate through the entire home.

Even worse, as homes get older things start to shift and change. The floor is no different and the more wear and tear that it receives, the more likely it is to creak and echo. Speaking of wear and tear, wood flooring can get scratched easily when you move things across it. If the scratch or scuff is really deep or noticeable, you could be looking at a serious repair bill.

Reduced Sound

Carpets are good for absorbing and dampening sound from inside the bedroom. Footsteps are less resonant, voices are muffled easier, and the room is just quieter now that there is carpet in there to mask the various noises that hardwood flooring will only amplify.

Warm Surface

If you live in a region where the change of seasons brings a marked shift in temperatures outside, you can bet those changes will be felt inside as well. When it gets particularly cold out, that chill will easily find its way into your home and the bedroom.

On those brisk mornings when you haven’t had a chance to put on the heat yet and your only source of warmth and comfort are the sheets and blankets on the bed, a hardwood floor is going to be a rather rude awakening if you step down on it with bare feet.

But homeowners who put carpet in bedrooms need not worry about getting cold feet in those early mornings before work. Installing plush, soft carpet will ensure that every step is warm, comfortable, and soft whether you’re just rolling out of bed or lounging about on the weekends.

With so many carpet styles from which to choose, you’re bound to find a carpet style that offers a level of comfort and luxury to fit any budget.

Better for Allergies

Another important benefit of having carpet in the bedroom is that it can actually be better for your health that hardwood flooring. Recent studies have demonstrated that carpets are a great way to keep allergens from getting into the air, preventing you from breathing them into your nose and lungs.

Those who have allergies to any number of triggers may find that having hardwood floors in the bedroom can make those allergens more likely to be inhaled.

Carpet fibers can hold those allergens in place, making the air a whole lot easier to breathe as you sleep at night.

Just be careful about caring for your carpet on a regular basis, as those allergens can start to build up. When the fibers are inundated with these harmful spores and germs, they can get released into the air with every step you take across your floor covering. Not only does that sound gross, it’s also not good for your health.

That’s why it’s so important to maintain the carpet regularly by vacuuming it at least once a week. But that will only get so much of the dirt and grime, anyone looking for carpet cleaning in alexandria will need to make sure that their professional cleaners do a thorough job of eliminating all the allergens from deep within the fiber material as well.

Most carpet manufacturers suggest having the carpet cleaned around once or twice a year, depending on the amount of foot traffic it receives on a consistent basis. For homes with large families and pets, vacuuming is essential but getting the carpets professionally cleaned every six months will go a long way to keeping them healthy and ensuring they look their best throughout their lifespan.
