Bedroom flooring - not carpet

[MammyKaz]

Due to allergies I need to replace carpets in 2 bedrooms. Any suggestions for something that looks nice but doesn't cost the earth. I have wooden floors down stairs so like that look & will probably put rugs down.

We have bamboo, it's lovely

Oooh very nice. Is it easy to lay on an upstairs floor, I'd be worried about some movement. Also does it need oiling/treating every couple of years, we're having to move out for a week while downstairs gets relived as the smells will make us ill.

We got it from the bamboo flooring company. AFAIK you don't need to sand the one we got. 3 story house and we have it on ground and first. Lay it like laminate and ensure a good underlay and beading at the skirting boards.

Thanks I'll check it out. I'm still nervous of vinyl!
