I like carpets and the feel of soft flooring in lounging areas like bedrooms and living rooms. Also good for babies and toddlers to learn to crawl and walk on.

A soft pair of slippers can give a similar effect as soft flooring.

For babies to crawl on, there are mats you can lay on the floor such as these: http://en.alzipmat.com/

The mats are easy to clean, and thus may be healthier than carpets which are difficult to deeply clean thoroughly or frequently.

If you dont already have a leather monger in you climate:

I HIGHLY recommend Carpet covered by Leather.

I cannot describe it - but thick leather, covering carpet, on bare-feet is amazing.

Trust me until you feel it.

I do not understand the concept. I imagine this would be like walking on a leather sofa? If the goal is to make the leather floor soft, then I would think the same soft padding under carpets would be better than carpet itself.

I assumed most will not understand.

this is not a fetish, its just a reality: Cover a carpeted space in high quality leather. Walk on it.

Seriously. its the best walking experience.

>>>Folks, if you find yourself frustrated when you come to SH Frank, you might just be struggling with entitlement, and you may just be intolerant of different types of personalities. Larry is excellent at what he does, but he's super neurotic, and probably on the spectrum

Larry is like larry david, but not funny. He is the neurotic jew Larry David wished he was....

Anyway, this guy is amazingly cool - but, and I am not joking, Walk into the shop with a wrinkled $100 bill in your hand. LITERALLY A $100 BILL

And flag it around asking about prices...

I swear this is how I bought all my leather from him and its kind of an art.
