    probably a wool blend. depends on your lifestyle ? Are there children/pets involved. In any event red cordial is never gonna come out !

    Natural materials all the way. Wool greener choice and longevity. Plus feels so much better underfoot.

    I believe that depends more on the type of pile and on the quality than on the material it's made of. If wool carpet has such a reputation my guess is that's because of cheap wool berber style (loop pile) carpets which were very popular for a while.

    Wool - not a blend. Warmer, lasts better, doesn't get static and better if a fire,

    So true re wool being naturally fire resistant. We replaced with wool carpet the synthetic builder's range carpet in an earlier home after embers from the fireplace shot out onto it and burned it. In our current home we have a large wool area rug in living room, which has a wood burning fireplace, and embers have shot out of it and landed on the rug...and nothing happened.

    The amount of people that contact us due to their sensitive skin, allergies or reactions to synthetic fibres is astounding. Please choose wool and natural fibres over synthetic. It's not worth it.
