I thought that this information may be helpful since we recently went through the process of purchasing new carpet. Through research we purchased the following:
Memory foam/rebond cushion with moisture barrier REASON: doesn’t wear down over time and prevents spills from seeping into the cushion and reappearing in the carpet after several weeks.
Stain treated nylon carpet REASON: Nylon wears better but doesn’t have as good of stain resistance unless it is stain treated (which most are)
We did the tear out ourselves REASON: It saved us money, and we wanted to fix the squeaky floor.
We used 1 5/8 inch grabber screws to get rid of the squeaks
We purchased a tan twist carpet with multi-color speckles REASON: to hide stains that are sure to come with children.
We purchased the products from RC Willey REASON: we got the contractor price through a friend. They do a free estimate of how much carpet you will need. The Home Depot/Lowes will charge you for the measure and then put it towards your carpet purchase.
We had RC Willey lay the carpet REASON: we have no clue how to lay carpet, and even though the guy took two days to lay it and showed up at least an hour late each day he did a pretty good job.
