Buy Saxony Carpet

Family garden with artificial grass, a play teepee and a fire pit seating area

Saxony is the soft one. Longer fibres cut level give a deep, smooth surface that feels comfortable underfoot and looks calm across a large floor.

It shows footprints and vacuum marks more than a twist, so it belongs in a bedroom or a lounge rather than on the stairs. For the busiest parts of the house, twist pile is the sensible choice — the comparison guide explains why in more detail.

Frequently asked questions

What is a saxony carpet?

Longer fibres cut level, for a deep, smooth, soft surface that feels luxurious underfoot. The choice for bedrooms and living rooms where comfort matters more than hard wear.

Is saxony suitable for stairs?

It can be fitted on stairs but shows wear and footprints sooner than a twist. For stairs, halls and landings choose a twist pile; keep saxony for the rooms you sit and lie in.

Does saxony show footprints?

Yes, the deeper pile shows footprints and vacuum lines, which many people like as part of the look. A quick vacuum lifts the pile back.
