As a rule, you should measure the carpets in the following order.  Measure the length or width all the way into back of closet.  The Carpet length should have extra 6 inches added on.  This carpet will be able to be stretch in and tucked under baseboards.  The average carpet roll comes in 12 feet wide roll.  Secrete is to lay the carpeting in one direction.  Are you confused?

Carpet Stores

To summarize, you can purchase carpet from carpet stores, such as home depot, Lowes, etc.  All the stores carry the same carpet, no difference in quality.  You have same quality choices with all the carpet sales stores.  The issue is prices are not the same across the board.

Compare Product

Subsequently carpet shopping is very difficult for the average consumer.  For the most part, padding price is usually marked triple the cost, and offered free installation.  Therefore just because you purchased new carpet, does not mean its buffet proof.  The 20-year-old carpeting you have at home could be a better quality, then the new carpet you purchased.
