Carpet pile
Carpet is manufactured by sewing loops of fiber onto a backing. You can't see much of this backing when you send samples of the most durable brands into a U-shape. But carpet pile refers to more than the density of the carpet. It also describes the height of individual fibers. The Loop pile is cut to create several additional styles. A low loop pile carpet is more durable than a cut pile carpet, but it is not as soft underfoot. Patterned carpets contain both cut and loop pile.

Carpet fiber
Nylon, the most popular synthetic fiber for many years, is known for its durability. It is also resilient or able to bounce back after heavy objects are removed. What's more, nylon carpeting can be counted on to keep its 'just-installed' look for years after it is laid. Triexta, introduced in 2009, has similar qualities. While wool carpeting is durable, it is also more costly than synthetic carpeting. Thus, it is often installed in a room with low foot traffic, such as a master bedroom.
Fiber twist
Fiber twist is a second factor that determines durability. Each fiber is turned or twisted to ensure longevity, which is especially important for cut pile styles that can unravel over time. The TPI, or turns per inch, is noted by the manufacturer. Most styles have a TPI that ranges from 3.5 to 6.0. Good quality carpeting that has a high TPI resists crushing. Carpets with tightly twisted fibers, particularly those with a TPI greater than 6.0, have a casual look.
