Carpet Myth: Thick carpet is better.
Thick carpet is better if you like a plusher feel. However, thick carpet is not better if you want a more durable carpet. Density (more yarn per square inch), will provide better durability. Higher density makes a more durable carpet.
If you are looking for plush, rich carpeting for your home, then yes, thick carpet is what you should get. Thick plush carpet is great for living areas, a game room or even your master bedroom. However, for a dense and durable carpet, then thick carpeting is not your best choice. Areas such as hallways or a room that has a lot of traffic would not be the best place for the newer style of thick carpeting. Longer yarns (thicker carpet) allow more potential for matting.
Some people believe thicker carpet is better, they also believe that you have to spend a lot of money to get a good wearing carpet.
Truth: You do not have to pay a lot of money for good quality carpeting.
