Although the idea of having such a dreamy carpet is exciting might be the case, here are five questions to ask to see if a plush carpet will be a good fit for you.
How Do You Feel About Prints and Indents?
Plush carpets are very soft with lots of memory. As you walk on the carpet, it tends to leave temporary marks in the carpets. With that being said, you’ll have to get used to seeing footprints and other indentations as the carpet fibers move from one side to the other. You might also see deep holes from furniture that has pegs that sink into the carpet. This feature can sometimes make dirt and debris harder to see.
For some, it’s a pet peeve to be able to see the carpet dark in places where there’s traction and lighter in locations that have not been walked on. It can also be a pet peeve for furniture and other heavy objects to leave marks on the carpet. If this bothers you, you might want to consider a carpet type made with fibers that have less memory. Not all plush carpets have the same amount of memory. This all depends on the characteristics of the fibers used to create the carpet. Some other types of fibers, when blended with certain fibers, can calm this feature. Ask your flooring consultant about your options if prints and indents are a primary concern.
How Do You Feel About Thick Carpets?
Cleaning a thicker carpet can have its challenges. It might be harder to clean up stains or spills that don’t have as much space between the carpet fibers. Vacuum cleaners also might have a hard time going across the carpet. Because plush carpets are usually taller, make sure you adjust the height on your vacuum cleaner to pick up as much debris as possible. You’ll want a vacuum that can remove the debris caught between the dense fibers.

Because of the fibers used, your plush carpet may have different characteristics, (i.e., flame retardant, stain resistant, etc.). Different colors also may have different prices. Ask a flooring professional for a wide range of options for plush carpeting. Try to find something that fits your home well and your budget.
