Best Flooring for Bedrooms

Light oak wood flooring in a styled bedroom with a light area rug and geometric patterned bedding.

What to Consider for Bedroom Flooring

Comfort underfoot

Cold floors on bare feet on winter mornings are unpleasant. Carpet and floors that are softer underfoot are better insulators and feel warmer to the touch. Hard surface flooring either needs to have area rugs on it, or radiant heating below to avoid a cold feeling when you step out of bed.

Sound dampening

A bedroom floor that absorbs the sound of footsteps (yours, the kids', the dog's) makes the room feel quieter and more restful.

Aesthetic continuity

If the rest of the upper floor is hardwood, you may want to continue that into the bedroom for visual continuity. If you want a clear separation between common areas and private space, carpet does that best.

Our Top Bedroom Flooring Recommendations

Light oak wood flooring in a spacious modern bedroom with a gray tufted bed, wooden dresser, and large windows.

Carpet

The traditional and still most popular bedroom flooring. Soft underfoot, warm, quiet, and forgiving of being walked on barefoot at 6 a.m. Wool, nylon, polyester, and Smartstrand (Triexta)  all work well in bedrooms depending on budget and feel preference.

Hardwood

Solid or engineered hardwood gives bedrooms a clean, continuous look — especially if the rest of the upper floor is hardwood. We even have underlayment that can be used for hardwood and will help dampen sound. Add area rugs near the bed for the warmth and comfort hardwood doesn't provide on its own.

Luxury Vinyl

Premium luxury vinyl comes with sound-dampening cores, and when combined with a quality underlayment, it can reduce the noise substantially while providing a softer feel underfoot.

Laminate

Budget-friendly option with the hardwood look. Modern laminate is convincing and quiet enough for bedroom use, especially with a sound-dampening underlayment.
