Wool carpets and rugs carry a certain kind of glamour that those made from other materials lack. Honestly, that’s no coincidence. Wool carpets and rugs come in a wide range of designs, look fantastic, and continue to look deeply plush and luxurious years after they have been installed. If you’ve been wondering whether wool is worth the cost, simply read on to explore its benefits.
Wool is Extremely Durable
You know how most area rugs and carpets tend to look a little flat and careworn after a few years, particularly across areas that experience heavy foot traffic? That’s because most carpet fibers aren’t particularly resilient.
When it comes to carpets and rugs, resiliency refers to how well a fiber bounces back after pressure has been applied. Wool boasts top-notch texture retention, so it continues to look plush and vibrant even after being used for years.
Wool is Extremely Comfortable
Wool carpets and rugs are considered a premium option because they are wonderfully comfortable. Wool is soft and springy, so it always provides comfy support and feels great between your toes.
As an added plus, natural wool offers outstanding insulating properties. If you hate stepping out onto a chilly floor, laying down a wool carpet or rug is going to make your home that much homier.
Easy Maintenance
Natural wool resists staining and is surprisingly water repellent. Better yet, it lasts twice as long between cleanings as most other fibers, including those synthetic ones you might expect to offer reduced maintenance.
