I'm obsessed with carpet dents

8 Comments

I love to move heavy furniture when it's been sitting on the same spot for a long time to reveal the carpet dents. I like how they sit on top of the carpet and not sink into it. Imagine if carpets could feel pain, it would hurt to have a heavy piece of furniture crushing you.

I know carpets cannot feel pain. It's impossible. But some dents are so deep it drives me mad. I stare at carpet dents and try to move furniture around slowly to take the pressure of furniture going into the carpets.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Switch to hardwood or other hard floriing and the problem vanishes.

    They are a lot easier to actually keep clean (carpet is almost always a germ farm and full of dirt).

      I get dents in my carpets when women stand on them in sharp heels - but it's exactly the same in the parts of my house that are wood, except that the marks stay in the wood permanently.

      But I do agree that wood is nicer all the same.

    You could stand each of your furniture legs on little flat wooden mats, to disperse the pressure over a wider area. It probably wouldn't look great, but I'd prefer that over moving the furniture.

    Me too. I get really distracted when women stand on my carpets in high heels, also. They leave marks all over. You are right, it must be very painful to be a carpet.

    What is your diagnosis?

    It feels cool to run your hands on them and feel the height/depth difference.

    When I first moved into my house, there was an old console TV in the corner of the living room that had been there for nearly 30 years. I ended up moving it to my bedroom and you wouldn't believe how mashed the otherwise fluffy carpet in that spot was! It was HARD. I ended up putting something else in its spot, so it's likely still there. I also still have a few furniture dents from the previous owner's furniture in one of the rooms I don't use much.
