"Wool is a wonderful fiber in many, many ways. But if you want the most luxurious and softest carpet, look for nylon. The same goes for pure white carpets.”
The whitest carpets and the softest carpets are actually not wool. The only way to get a really pure white carpet is to choose synthetic. In the video above, I show off a carpet sample from Couristan called ‘Heavenly.’ It’s not a grayish-white or a warm white, but white as the driven snow.
The other thing about Heavenly is that it is truly heavenly. This is one of a handful of the softest carpets in our showroom. Soft nylon is the softest feeling you can get underfoot. It’s perfect for a bedroom.
Wool is a wonderful fiber in many, many ways. We have another video detailing ‘Why Wool’ if you’re interested. My point is simply that if you want a luxurious, soft carpet, look for nylon. The same goes for pure white carpets.
