John Lewis or similar polypropylene carpets

Has anyone got one? If so, how has it worn? We want a twist carpet that is moth proof and bleachable. Loved the softness and thickness of Halo 58 sample, but wondering if a shorter pile would wear better.

I have a polypropene carpet although not John Lewis in my hallway. It has worn very quickly compared to the wool carpet I previously had. After only two years the high traffic areas are thread bare whereas the wool carpet was still going strong after 15 years (I only changed it as I didn't like the colour).

I've just had it fitted in my loft extension (2 bedrooms) and first floor landing and 2 stairs. Within a week the cats had been sick twice in various places and it cleaned up weLL. My previous wool /berber carpet would never clean well. Also cats loved to scratch that carpet and made it threadbare in one spot but they don't seem interested in this one. It was really cheap too compared to wool so could replace in 8 yrs time and it would still work out cheaper than the wool.
