We replaced all of our carpeting in Oct '21. Costs were going up and supply shortages abound and have only gotten worse since. We were originally supposed to have it installed in early August but it didn't come in for 2 more months and it wasn't even a special order...we selected from a colorway and brand that they maintain in stock.
Our previous carpet was berber. One was a patterned berber and held up very well and we liked the texture and color variation and the pattern lent to it wearing well. The stairs and upstairs was a standard berber and didn't wear nearly as well.
We replaced it with a stain resistant plush and I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it feels under your feet. One leans beige and one leans grey but both have a lot of variation of color and go with just about anything. We bought a high quality pad for underneath and the stain resistance is built into the fiber instead of being applied to the fibers. This makes it far more stain resistant and longer wearing. Ours is Mohawk Smartstrand.
