Saxony carpet is a cut loop pile carpet. Its pile is designed to be incredibly dense, for a soft feeling underfoot. This makes it popular for bedrooms and living rooms.

Sometimes Saxony carpets are called a plush carpet, based on the luxurious style and feel. They have a velvet-like appearance, which is created by tightly twisting the carpet fibres, cutting them and then heating them so they stand up straight.

What are the best rooms for Saxony carpets?

Because of the high-quality fibres, standard Saxony carpets suit low-traffic areas such as:

• bedrooms
• living rooms
• rooms used as a study/office

Saxony carpets made of polypropylene are more durable, making them suitable for:

• bedrooms
• dining rooms
• hallways
• living rooms
• stairs
