High quality carpet, with excellent care, should last 20 years. Everyone senses that the higher the quality of the carpet, the longer it will last, but many people do not realize that half of the life of a good carpet is in the quality of the padding. Extra money for the best padding is money very well spent for the life of a carpet.
