My husband’s bedroom carpet needs changing. I would welcome suggestions as to what floor covering to put down - this needs to be fire proof, spillproof etc. He smokes, spills drinks on the floor and is generally messy.

Our bedrooms are all cushionfloor type.

Easy to sweep, hoover, wash…..

I like carpeted bedrooms because I don’t like cold feet. We have a ‘pet friendly’ carpet which is supposed to be easy to clean after ‘accidents’. We haven’t actually had any of those to date but it is a very thick, cosy carpet

If the bedroom is upstairs, tiles could be horribly noisy for anyone downstairs!

OP, if carpet is out of the question, I’d go for a very well cushioned vinyl.

Modern vinyl flooring sounds like the best solution - best quality type - think that's what Calendargirl suggested. Some of the designs look very like wood. It's not cold underfoot but you could put a rug by the bed.

Thank you for your suggestions - I think I favour thick cushioned vinyl. Sounds durable.

Perhaps wood? We love wood floors. Fits your criteria.

Great decision!

Wooden floors look great and are easy to keep clean.
