Cormar Carpets Wins Best Bedroom Flooring 2026

We're always pleased to see the brands we work with recognised for the quality of their products, and one of Britain's best-known carpet manufacturers has received another major award in 2026.

Cormar Carpets' Silken Serenity has been named Best Bedroom Flooring at the Ideal Home Awards 2026, recognising a carpet that combines a luxurious, soft feel with the practicality needed for everyday homes.

For anyone considering a new carpet for their bedroom, the award also highlights something we regularly discuss with customers at Coast Road Furniture: bedroom flooring doesn't simply need to look good. Comfort, durability, colour and ease of maintenance can all make a difference when choosing the right carpet for your home.

Silken Serenity Named Best Bedroom Flooring 2026

The Ideal Home Awards recognise products from across the home and interiors market, with Silken Serenity taking the award for Best Bedroom Flooring in 2026.

Manufactured in Britain by Cormar Carpets, Silken Serenity is designed to provide a particularly soft and luxurious feel underfoot. It is made using 100% Luxura polypropylene and is available in a choice of 16 contemporary colours, ranging from light neutral shades through to deeper, richer tones.

Despite its luxurious appearance and deep pile, the range has also been designed with everyday practicality in mind. Silken Serenity is stain resistant, bleach cleanable and comes with a 10-year stain and wear warranty.

It's this combination of softness and practicality that makes carpets of this type particularly appealing in bedrooms, where creating a warm and comfortable environment is often just as important as durability.

Why Is Carpet Such a Popular Choice for Bedrooms?

There are plenty of flooring options available today, but carpet remains one of the most popular choices for bedrooms.

One of the biggest reasons is simple: comfort. Stepping out of bed onto a soft carpet can feel considerably warmer and more inviting than a hard flooring surface, particularly during colder mornings.

Carpet can also help soften the overall feel of a bedroom. Alongside curtains, bedding and upholstered furniture, it can reduce the amount of hard surface in a room and create a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere.

Bedrooms also tend to experience less demanding foot traffic than hallways, stairs and busy living spaces. This can make them an ideal place to choose a softer, deeper pile carpet where comfort is one of the main priorities.

Soft and Deep-Pile Carpets

For customers who want their bedroom to feel especially comfortable, a deep-pile or Saxony carpet can be well worth considering.

Saxony-style carpets are known for their soft, dense surface and luxurious appearance. The longer pile creates a cushioned feeling underfoot that works particularly well in bedrooms, dressing rooms and other areas where comfort takes priority.

Modern synthetic carpets can also offer impressive stain resistance and easy maintenance, so choosing a luxurious feel doesn't necessarily mean choosing something impractical.

However, the right carpet will depend on the individual room. A busy family bedroom may benefit from something particularly durable and easy to clean, while a quieter main bedroom might allow you to prioritise softness and texture.

What About Twist Carpets?

A twist carpet is another excellent all-round option for bedrooms and throughout the home.

Twist carpets are produced using yarn that is tightly twisted together, creating a textured surface that can be both comfortable and hard-wearing. They tend to recover well from everyday foot traffic and are available in everything from plain neutral shades to more natural-looking heathered finishes.

For customers carpeting several rooms at the same time, a good-quality twist can also provide continuity through bedrooms, landings, lounges and other living areas without requiring a completely different style of carpet in each room.

Natural Wool Carpets for the Bedroom

For those who prefer natural fibres, a wool carpet can provide a very different feel.

Wool has long been used in quality carpets thanks to its natural resilience, warmth and distinctive appearance. Wool fibres have a natural ability to recover from compression, which helps a well-made wool carpet retain its appearance over time.

Wool carpets are available in both traditional and contemporary styles, including twists, loops and textured designs. Their naturally warm appearance can work particularly well with wooden bedroom furniture, upholstered bed frames and neutral colour schemes.

There isn't one material that will be right for every household, however. Synthetic carpets can offer excellent stain resistance and softness at an attractive price, while wool appeals to customers looking for natural materials and long-term resilience.

Choosing the Right Colour for a Bedroom Carpet

Colour can dramatically change the feel of a bedroom.

Light creams, warm beiges and soft neutral shades can help create a calm and spacious appearance, while taupe, stone and natural earthy colours can add warmth without dominating the room.

Darker colours can work particularly well in larger bedrooms or where you want to create a more cosy, enclosed atmosphere.

It's also worth remembering that carpet is normally a long-term purchase. While it can be tempting to choose a colour purely because it is fashionable, we'd generally recommend considering how it will work with future changes to your decorating, furniture and bedding as well.

Looking at carpet samples in person can make this much easier. Colours and textures can appear noticeably different on a screen compared with seeing the actual carpet, particularly under different lighting conditions.

Don't Forget the Underlay

The carpet itself is only part of the finished floor.

A suitable underlay can improve comfort underfoot and support the carpet above it. Different underlays are available depending on the type of carpet, the room and whether features such as underfloor heating need to be considered.

When replacing an older carpet, it's therefore worth having the existing underlay checked rather than automatically assuming it should be reused.
