FAQs

Dense medium pile (≈0.35–0.5″) rebounds better than ultra-low, but use pads and move legs periodically. Caps spread weight.

Flatweaves have near-zero pile height. They’re great for doors and dining rooms, often measuring under 0.2″ with pad.

Lower pile tolerates higher suction; high pile needs adjustable height or “high carpet” mode. Vacuum with the nap direction.

Avoid mopping high pile; fibers can retain moisture and soil. Set no-mop zones or lift-mop modes for piles ≥0.5″.

Generally yes—more fibers absorb sound and provide insulation. Even moving from 0.25″ to 0.5″ can noticeably reduce echo.

Low pile (≤0.25–0.35″) or a flatweave with a hard chair mat. Larger 3″ casters roll better over short pile.

Interior doors usually have a 0.5–0.75″ gap. Subtract pad thickness to choose a rug pile height that won’t scrape.

Most bots perform best on low to medium pile (typically under ~0.6–0.8″). Very deep shags (≥1″) can tangle brushes.

Low to medium pile (≤0.5″) resists snagging and cleans faster. Loop piles hide hair but can catch claws—prefer tight cut pile.

Low pile (≤0.25–0.35″) holds fewer allergens and vacuums easier. Use a HEPA vacuum weekly.

High pile (≈0.5–0.75″) or plush feels cozy underfoot. Keep it away from closet doors and choose ≤0.5″ near swing areas.

Medium pile (≈0.25–0.5″) balances comfort and care. Add a pad to reach 0.5–0.75″ total thickness for cushioned feel.
