We replaced our family room carpeting with hardwood, and my four young daughters really wanted a soft carpet. This one delivered! It is incredibly soft. We love the way it feels under our feet. I put a pad underneath also, but it’s shaggy and soft. I love the subtle color too, ivory and light gray. It is beautiful. We are a family of six and we have had it for 7 months months in our main living space and it is still perfect.
