I really can't decide what to do. My teenage daughter with SN is frequently and unexpectedly sick and more often than not, when she is in bed, so her bedroom carpet is usually the recipient. This happens about once every 6-8 weeks and she takes medication to try to control it.
It is now beyond serviceable repair and needs replacing. Would you replace with another carpet, or go for Amtico/some other padded vinyl instead and put washable rugs down for the "warm" factor. All of the upstairs bar the bathrooms ( which have vinyl) are carpeted, and am worried it will look odd to have one bedroom which does not match.
I am concerned that her bedroom will look a bit hard. Her dad thinks it will be more like a prison cell and we should put cheap carpet down and replace each year - easy for him to say as he won't be (a) paying for it, (b) going through the hassle of choosing/organising it or (c) moving all her heavy furniture each time it needs doing - it will be me on my own as carpet fitters need the room bare and ready to go, including old carpets ripped up and disposed of !
I can see his point of view, but I am busy enough without this level of hassle.
If i go for vinyl/amtico - recommend me some nice non utilitarian ones :)
