We picked up a reasonably priced, all natural wool carpet that is great for alergies and green-conciouse buyers. They have different "levels" of green concerning just the carpet, or the fibers underneath, so that several price points are available. In some cases it is the same price as other mid-grade nylon carpets! These sheep are actually sorted according to wool coloring and bundles together! The products are completely recylclable and are meant to last a lifetime! Wool is flame retardent, anti-static, bio-degradable, 1/8 of the energy used to produce plastic fibers, its a natural insulator, it absorbes noise, acts as a natual filter improving indoor air quality, its non-alergentic, its soil resistant because of its protective outter layers, and wool can be bent and twisted 20,000 time without breaking. Wool naturally resists, hides and releases soil and stains, and naturally recovers from flattening. Not to mention how soft and beautiful it is...but everybody has always known it preforms the best....
This is what the company says
" Nature's Carpet consists of a variety of different qualities so that you can have an eco-friendly, sustainable home without sacrificing style.
Nature's Carpet is made of 100% New Zealand Wool, a rapidly renewable resource. The backing is made of jute, a natural fibre, held in place with natural rubber latex. The result is an ultra-low toxicity floor covering which actually improves indoor air quality for your health and comfort.
This beautiful and durable product comes in several styles that will suit your needs. It meets and even exceeds the high standards demanded by both the environmental movement and by individuals with high sensitivity to chemical toxins."
