comfortable and many come with two-sided moisture resistance - perfect

There are a variety of carpet fibers available. The type of fiber
used, the construction of the cloth, and the color all play a role
in the styling, cost, and performance.
Below is a list and description of common carpet fibers.
Common Carpet Fibers
Nylon
The most frequently used carpet fiber, highly desirable due to its
exceptional durability, versatility, and reasonable pricing. It can
be dyed in an endless variety of colors and made into numerous styles
and textures. Nylon is commonly used in residential and commercial
applications.
Polyester
Used in residential and a few commercial applications, polyester
has good color clarity, colorfastness, and resistance to water-soluble
stains. All of Mohawk's staple polyester yarn comes from our state-of-the-art
plastic bottle recycling facility. This "food-grade" PET
Polyester fiber might be considered to be better quality than "carpet-grade" polyester
fiber.
Polypropylene
Also known as Olefin, this fiber resists fading, generates low levels
of static electricity, is favorably priced, and can be engineered
in outdoor applications. Due to its manufacturing process, polypropylene
inherently resists stains. When used in specific carpet constructions,
this yarn will perform as well as most resilient fibers.
Wool
The most expensive of the fibers listed here, it is a natural fiber
with moderate soil and stain resistance. Durable, luxurious "hand",
reduced visible soil due to fine, light-scattering characteristics.
