Both fibres have great characteristics; neither fibre is better than the other. A quality carpet is made with superior materials through a well-monitored manufacturing process using the latest technology. This level of craftsmanship will produce a carpet that offers maximum performance. When selecting a carpet to satisfy your needs, you should consider factors such as style and texture, colour, durability and carpet grading.

Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) has about twice the biological activity than commonly used synthetic Vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol). LifePak also provides mixed natural tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta tocopherols), which further enhance the antioxidant protection provided by Vitamin E. See similar questions...

We're not sure what you're comparing our carpet to. Most wool carpets have stain repellent applied, and are constructed with more toxic adhesives than the ones we offer. In most cases the wool has been bleached (causing dioxin pollution) before being dyed in the variety of colors consumers demand. See similar questions...

Due to the differences in natural fibers (levels of oils, enzymes, etc.) we can't guarantee how the adhesive will react. Some Berbers contain natural fibers. See similar questions...

Polypropylene yarn is a synthetic yarn that has been treated to withstand a lot of wear and tear. Polypropylene rugs are easy to clean and the color in the yarn will never fade or bleed. Polypropylene rugs are excellent for people with children and/or pets because they clean easily and can withstand dirt, spills and so on. Many of our wool rugs are made with the finest New Zealand wool. Wool lasts forever. Eventually, polypropylene rugs will wear out, but wool lasts a lifetime. See similar questions...

Not necessarily... choosing between a human hair wig and a synthetic wig is more of personal preference. For example, a person looking for a wig that is easy to maintain and less expensive would choose a synthetic wi g...a person looking for a wig they plan on wearing everyday and that they can curl themselves would choose a human hair wig. Keep in mind that just because human hair wigs cost more it does not mean they are the "better" wig to buy. See similar questions...

Scientists over the years have bred a Merino sheep which is exaggeratedly wrinkled. The more wrinkles, the more wool. Unfortunately, greater profits are rarely in the sheep's best interests. In Australia, more wrinkles mean more perspiration and greater susceptibility to fly-strike, a ghastly condition resulting from maggot infestation in the sweaty folds of the sheep's over-wrinkled skin.

Once the sheet of wool batting is enclosed in the cotton covering, we tuft or quilt the Underquilt so that the wool will not shift or move around. See similar questions...

It is basically a customer preference and a convenience because there is no drying time. A mineral spirit solvent is used which actually evaporates. It is a maintenance cleaning which gives only a surface cleaning. It does not penetrate deep into the carpet fiber. It is only recommended only for a mildly soiled carpet. If you have moderately to heavily soiled carpet, steam cleaning is recommended. See similar questions...

The answer depends on the type of paint you plan to use. Natural bristle and synthetic brushes may be used with oil-based paints. Only synthetic bristle brushes should be used with latex or acrylic paints. (The water in latex or acrylic paints takes the oils out of natural bristles and they become unmanageable).

Not necessarily. Down is lightweight, and synthetic materials can be very plush. It depends on your preference and sleep style (on your back, side or stomach). See similar questions...

Hand-made rugs use natural wool while lower quality synthetic fibers such as nylon are used in machine made rugs. Wool is the traditional fiber used in fine hand made Oriental rugs. Natural wool not only wears longer, but it also preserves its beautiful appearance, stays new-looking longer, and get better as they age. Each wool fiber is made up of millions of "coiled springs" that stretch and give rather than break, and so wool is extremely durable. See similar questions...

Carpet cushion is the life of the carpet. Except for direct glue down carpet, we recommend always using carpet cushion. Be sure and check with the carpet manufacturer to find out what their cushion requirements are. See similar questions...

Vitamin supplements containing natural beta-carotene are usually derived from Dunaliela salina, one of many algae. It contains a variety of carotenoids including alpha and beta-carotene. Some studies suggest that the synthetic beta-carotene is harmful in smokers, and not as beneficial as mixed carotenoids found in natural sources. While this may be true, many of the studies in the past have been done with synthetic beta-carotene and still showed benefits as an antioxidant. See similar questions...

Synthetic slings made of man made high tenacity fibers have many advantages and conventional wire ropes and chains. Some of these are : Reduces machine downtime, in industries where dies or work rolls will have to be changed using slings. See similar questions...

Absolutely not. You are most likely not allergic to the down but to the dust and dirt in the pillow. Down is the way to go and there is one feature you should look for, a patented process called "hyper clean" that removes any and all dust particles in the down. See similar questions...

During the years before actual menopause, estrogen may be decreasing only slightly and ovulation has ceased or is rare. Without ovulation, progesterone production is essentially zero making a woman estrogen dominant. Further supplementing the dominant estrogen simply does not make sense, and synthetic progestins have undesireable side effects. See similar questions...
