What fabric is best for carpet?

Four main materials make a carpet: wool, polyester, nylon, and olefin.
Though there are tons more other materials used, these four are the most exceptional among them.

Wool

This very durable carpet material costs around $20 per square foot or $180 a square yard.
Note: 1 sq. yd. = 1 sq. ft. Wool’s soft and dense texture is well suited for low to moderate
foot traffic areas in the house like the living room.
The natural fibers of wool make their colors last longer, thus giving it a better appeal to buyers.  

Polyester

This synthetic material costs a lot cheaper than natural fibers, at around $2/ sq. ft. or $18/ sq. yd.
It rivals wool in terms of color and appearance but not in durability. 
Its different colors, styles and patterns allow you to be creative with your house flooring.
For beauty, comfort and affordability, polyester is your go-to.

Nylon

Nylon carpets are best for high foot traffic areas and do not wear out from the constant movement.
Its high durability comes at an affordable $2.50/ sq. ft. or $23/ sq. yd.

Olefin (Polypropylene)

Olefin is the most affordable costing only $1 per square foot or $9 per square yard.
Its quick-dry and stain-resistant characteristics are great for basements and bathrooms.
Olefin often gets wear and tear, thus bad for areas with high movement.
