Your bedroom is where you really want comfort underfoot, either first thing in the morning or last thing at night, so what is the best flooring to choose? There are a number of options to pick from, so you can have both the look and feel that you want.
Carpeting
Carpet will always be a popular choice in the UK as it gives warmth and a cosy feel to any room. It is a great thermal insulator so does 
actually keep the heat in, as well as being warmer underfoot than many other options. It also keeps the room quieter as it absorbs noise very well. This is a great option for anyone who is not as firm on their feet like children or older adults, as carpet is much softer to land on, so cushions falls. A regular schedule of vacuuming will keep carpet clean.
Carpet can be a very economical option as there is a wide price range to choose from; from budget carpet tiles to luxury velvet pile, there is an option for every wallet. Plus there is an almost endless choice of colours, patterns and finishes to choose from to get the perfect look and feel underfoot for your bedroom.
If you are looking for eco friendly flooring, wool carpet is a great choice as it is sustainable, renewable and biodegradable and also looks and feels luxurious in the home. In addition, it is naturally flame retardant and significantly improves indoor air quality, by absorbing common pollutants.

Wood
There is nothing that quite rivals the elegant look of a wood floor. The two main types for flooring are solid and engineered; solid is just wood whilst engineered wood is manufactured using layers of different wood veneers. 
Solid wood has a classic look with depth and warmth. If you find it a bit cold underfoot, many types of hardwood are compatible with underfloor heating, and you can always add an area rug if you want extra warmth and comfort. When cared for properly, hardwood will last for decades and is environmentally friendly, as it is long lasting and recyclable. For allergy sufferers, wood is the best choice as it is easy to keep clean of dust, pollen, and other allergens.
If you want the look of real wood flooring but at a lower cost, engineered wood still gives that stunning finish as it has a veneer of actual hardwood. It is more stable and can withstand heat fluctuations better than real wood. This highly durable flooring can also be refinished over the years and you have the option to change the look of it. There are many grades and species available and as it is so easy to install, you can have a style like a chevron floor laid very quickly.
Strip, plank and parquet are the common styles of wood flooring, with plank and strip the most popular for bedroom floors (plank is wider than strip). Keeping wood flooring clean is simple, regular sweeping and mopping is all you need to do.

Laminate
Laminate flooring is made of a core of fiber board materials with a thin layer of plastic laminate with a design layer and a clear wear layer on top.
It is an economical way to have the look of wood, stone or ceramic 
flooring. This practical, hard-wearing flooring is scratch and dent-resistant as it has a high quality wear layer. Many new varieties are also water resistant thanks to a protective layer.
It is also hypo-allergenic, so as good as solid wood for allergy sufferers, and easy to maintain by wiping clean.
Laminate flooring is shock absorbent, making it comfortable underfoot and using a quality underlay with it will give you extra sound insulation, which is useful for a quiet environment in the bedroom.
It is also easy to install and comes in a wide variety of styles and designs.

Vinyl
Vinyl flooring is available in sheet, plank and tile formats. These different sizes and
widths allow you to create the perfect design and there is a huge range of colours, styles and patterns available. For a wood or stone effect, plank or tile are the best choices. This versatile flooring is water proof (handy if you have an ensuite bathroom) and easy to keep clean by sweeping and occasional mopping. Vinyl also has a softness underfoot which is ideal for the bedroom.
Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring has a stunning finish and is highly durable. It boasts both superior acoustics and excellent soundproofing qualities. It is easy to maintain, slip and spill resistant and robust enough to stand the test of time while maintaining its luxurious look.
