soft flooring

Plush floor covering

Soft flooring refers to floor coverings that yield underfoot, as opposed to hard surfaces like tile, concrete, or hardwood.

The category includes carpet, rugs, vinyl, linoleum, cork, and rubber flooring.

Soft flooring absorbs sound, provides cushioning, and feels warmer than hard alternatives: We chose soft flooring for the nursery.
