A low pile carpet is made from short fibers with a flat, dense aesthetic. The fibers are tightly looped and shorter than those of high pile carpets, giving the carpet a smoother surface. Low pile carpets are easier to clean and maintain over time, and they can withstand heavy foot traffic. They don’t hold onto debris like high pile carpets do. Low pile carpets are the best choice for rooms that see a particularly large amount of foot traffic, such as entryways, living rooms, or stairwells. They are also suitable for dining areas, kids’ playrooms, and other high-traffic areas. Low pile carpets are long-lasting and durable. However, they have less warmth, comfort, and coziness compared to high pile carpets. If you want a carpet that you can sink your feet into, you should consider a deep pile carpet.
