Thick wool carpet is beneficial for my spinal hernia
Let me share with you the connection between my spinal hernia and carpet.
Unfortunately, I have been suffering and living with spinal hernia for 10 years now. Because I postponed surgery for a long time, a kind of nerve paralysis started in my legs. I can't stand on my tiptoes, so it's hard for me to slowly put my heels down, in other words, to cushion my gait. It's worst for me to walk barefoot, as that makes my heel hit the floor directly. Anyone with a herniated disc knows how bad it feels. At home, I mostly wear slippers, but I often walk barefoot to the kitchen or living room. When I bought my house, I thought I didn't need carpet. Maximum one or two places like the living room or bedroom. I moved from one room to the other slowly and carefully, especially after surgery. I thought about putting thick carpet in the rooms to see if it would make my walking easier. I ordered a thick wool carpet from Carpetdepo. I thought, if it's no good, I'll use my return option. After the carpets arrived (I should mention here that the carpet arrived quickly after I ordered it), I laid down the long runner carpet in the hallway and when I walked on it, it was as easy to walk on as if I was wearing running shoes. I also bought a thick rug for my living room because that's where I do my exercise. It feels so good to lie on the carpet. The coldness of the floor was also uncomfortable for me when I walked around barefoot, because the cold is bad for the nervous system. I feel much warmer in my flat now, despite the winter cold, than I did before most of the floor was bare. As a spine sufferer, I am very glad I found a thick carpet for myself and bought it from Carpetdepo. At last my heels are not knocking on the floor, but on the carpet.

Our thick carpets give a rustic effect to the room. They can match any style because there is no pattern variation and most rugs are one colour. Made from 100% Icelandic wool. It is easy to clean and can be vacuumed immediately.
