This.

Carpet in bedrooms always in the UK or any climate where it's not baking hot. Better insulator, feels nicer underfoot, reduces noise to floors below etc etc.

Better insulator

is it better than floorboards + underlay + laminate? srs question btw

•

swedeee in reply to @amey

surely it is very similar...
•

Soul in reply to @amey

Yes. Don't underestimate the surface area of carpet fibres to trap air.

JurekB in reply to @amey

Almost certainly better. Carpet will contain a 'pocket' of still air - which is generally very good for insulation - laminate will not.
ETA - Soul beat me to it.
