Nature’s Carpet Element Collection vs. Everest Collection
Nature’s Carpet Element Collection is an excellent natural option for high quality, cozy, durable carpeting. Although a little more costly than a recycled and synthetic carpet, Element carpets are naturally durable, meaning they are likely to cost less over the longer term. As these are loop and cut blends, they are liable to shed a little more than entirely looped wool carpets, such as those in the Everest Collection.
