Carpet is a common floor covering typically made of a thread and backing. It is considered more comfortable and generally cheaper than hard floors such as tile, laminate or wood. There are many materials used in carpet. Many plastics, such as olefin and nylon are used because of their low cost, durability and stain resistance. Some carpet uses wool or other natural fibers. Wool is especially beneficial because its microscopic shape is excellent for trapping air particles and helps to keep air clean in the house.
