If you go to Carpetright, for example, they will divide up the carpets by room type, so you can usually select 'stairs' specifically.
One thing I would advise is to insist that they install the carpet in a single run, if possible.
I originally had some sisal-type carpet installed by Carpetright on our stairs and noticed fraying after a fairly short while where each step met. It transpired that they had cut the carpet to fit each individual step (WTF). They were adamant that this is standard practice (it generates less waste), but it is always going to pull itself away from where each step meets due to the motion of foot traffic. They eventually came and refitted it as one run of material and I haven't had problems since. They didn't charge me anything either, and I switched to some hard wearing polypropylene.

Carpets. Talk to me.
Need to get a carpet sorted for a shared set of stairs, myself and upstairs flat are splitting the cost. Does anyone have any experience with the larger retailers and/or any recommendations on hard wearing types of carpet materials that will withstand a fair amount foot traffic.
I went into a place in Cardiff the other day and the guy baffled me with information about his piles so I left pretty confused.
Cheers
