Carpets and rugs have been a common feature of domestic life since prehistoric humans first threw animal skins down to cushion the floors of their caves. Today, more than half of all flooring purchases every year are for carpets and rugs, outselling every other type of floor covering. Carpets offer many advantages over other types of floor coverings, such as warmth, insulation, safety, sound reduction, easy care, and maintenance, and durability. They are also more comfortable to lie on or to sit on than hard floor surfaces such as wood or tile. Many people purchase their carpets and rugs from direct distributors, who can carry a wide variety of styles, colors, patterns and textures.
