Hello,
we are currently considering the flooring options. In the show homes, we really liked bedrooms with high-pile carpet. The rooms have a very cozy atmosphere. Generally, we are not big fans of carpet and plan to install hardwood flooring, tiles, and laminate throughout the house. However, in the bedroom and the adjacent walk-in closet, carpet would be a real treat for the feet, instead of the rather cold laminate in oak farmhouse plank style.
We have underfloor heating everywhere, and there are now anti-allergy carpets available. But what about the risk of dust mites? I’m a bit concerned about that.
What are your opinions, and does anyone have carpet in their house or bedroom?
I’m interested to hear.

Here we also have carpet in the children's rooms, the upper floor corridor, and the bedroom, including underfloor heating.
We love it! A dream for the kids... always a warm bottom, making cozy playtime possible. I never want to get out of bed just after 5 a.m. and step onto a terrible laminate floor again.
We hate laminate... that noise when walking... ugh!

Haha... I feel the same way, ph710
The sound of walking on laminate always seems so “cheap” to me, nothing like hardwood, carpet, or tile, in my opinion. And no... this is not meant to sound spoiled or anything like that... on the contrary, we had simple OSB boards as flooring for years in our old house, and even that “basic” material felt nicer than laminate!
And yes, it’s easy to quickly get used to the nice soft feeling of carpet first thing in the morning.
Thinking back to the years of freezing cold floors in our old house, I’m so happy and grateful to finally be living in our wonderful dream home!

Good thing that many things are also a matter of taste, right?
"the ice-cold tile"
"the worn-out dusty carpet"
"the cheap laminate"
"the slippery hardwood floor"
"the ugly cork"
"the chemical PVC"
or also
"the practical tile"
"the cozy warm carpet"
"the durable laminate"
"the elegant hardwood floor"
"the foot-friendly cork"
"the stylish PVC"

well, there is definitely a difference between walking on laminate flooring (we have that in the basement rooms) and genuine hardwood parquet (in the attic except for the bathroom).
Basically, it really seems that carpet is much better suited for those with house dust allergies than is commonly believed.
Our vacuum cleaning robot "Dobby" regularly deals with the dust bunnies (which can actually be quite annoying) that were mentioned before, so we no longer have any problems with them.
In the end, I think that depending on personal preference, you can confidently choose carpet, hardwood, or even tiles for the bedroom – with underfloor heating, none of these flooring types should cause the problem of "cold feet."
Best regards,
Dirk

I am also allergic to house dust and have installed a good carpet from Vorwerk in the bedroom. I had the same in my previous apartment and did not experience any problems. I would not consider laminate or even tiles for the bedroom, and I am now familiar with the view that carpet can be better for allergy sufferers. When I was a child, doctors recommended the opposite, but that was already 35 years ago. I do not have underfloor heating in the bedroom, but that should not be an issue if the carpet is suitable for it. The only drawback is vacuuming, so allergy sufferers should use a vacuum cleaner with an effective filter.
Ultimately, this is a matter of personal preference. Depending on individual tastes and sensitivities, everyone has to decide for themselves.

Wow, honestly, I didn’t expect there to be so many carpet lovers here! We actually dislike laminate flooring because it attracts dust... we were just concerned about house dust issues. But now I’m convinced – definitely carpet for the bedroom and walk-in closet, maybe also for the office, children’s room, and hallway. Do you notice anything with underfloor heating, like the carpet feeling warm? Or that your energy consumption is very high? What room temperatures do you usually have?
