We want to replace the carpet on the 2nd floor. We will be replacing four bedrooms, hallway and steps.

The more I research the deeper down the rabbit hole I go.

We want a "traditional" style carpet. No berbers, designs, etc.

How the heck do you compare carpets between stores and manufactures? The carpet store hours are not fitting well with our schedules. We only made it to one store and homedepot (pure convenience).

Here is a good explanation of carpet specs

Thanks for that link. Very informative. I need to replace my entire upstairs.
