You probably never thought about how flooring could affect your sleep and overall well-being. With that being said, what are the conditions that promote a good night’s sleep? Feeling relaxed, sleepy, and content is probably high on that list.
Carpeting is still the obvious choice for many bedrooms across America but we would be remiss in not spelling out what a potential headache carpeting can be in the bedroom.
Allergies:
The carpet may look cozy and feel warm but they will trap dust and pollen over time, and pet dander if you allow your pets in your bedroom. This could be problematic for allergy sufferers. There is a reason why many Doctors tell their allergy patients to get rid of carpeting.
Staining:
If you are like me starting your day with a cup of coffee and the morning news in bed you had better not spill that coffee. Drink and food spills can ruin your carpet as can blood or pet urine. Accidents can happen even to the most careful of us. You can buy carpets that claim to be stain resistant, getting stains out of the carpet is not only a chore but most likely you will never totally get rid of them.
Discoloration:
Over time you will find that the carpet is fading, especially near a window where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
Shows Wear Patterns Over Time
No matter how hard you work on avoiding this, carpets will show a wear pattern more than hard surfaces do.
Cost
Carpeting will start at $3 to $12.50 and more per square foot, installation may or may not be included. You should also consider the yearly cost of getting your carpets deep-cleaned by a professional. Omitting this may nil your warranty.
What Are the Alternatives?
Luxury vinyl flooring. LVF is perfect for bedrooms, especially in households with kids and pets, and here are the reasons why.
Allergy-Proof
Luxury vinyl because of its smooth surface does not catch hair or pollen, or other allergens, nor does it preserve smells or dirt from pet paws.
Affordability
Luxury Vinyl flooring will save you loads of money at the point of purchase and on upkeep compared to other flooring options. At between $2 and $5 per square foot, including installation, luxury vinyl flooring is a bargain compared to carpeting which can cost $3 to $5.50 per square foot, installation may or may not be included.
Multiple Design Choices
Due to the 3-d printing process, LV flooring can be made to look like wood or stone, and any design pattern and color imaginable. This makes it easy to find a floor that will match or complement your existing design scheme.
Easy to Install
While LVG used to be available only in large sheets, today’s tile planks are easy to install. No sawing or hammering required. Most brands now offer “self-adhesive” tiles, simply remove the backing and put into place on a properly prepared subfloor. This makes it ideal for the DIYers.
To summarize:
Vinyl is the most popular form of resilient flooring (a category that also includes linoleum and cork) because it’s low-maintenance, water-resistant, cost-effective, and long-lasting. It also has the perfect balance of firmness and “give,” meaning it springs a bit when you walk on it for a comfortable feel underfoot. And thanks to recent technological advances, today’s vinyl comes in a wide range of high-quality, beautiful finishes.
