Berber or Plush? Which type is better?  Both are good carpets It's what the person likes. Me I like to use both, I use plush in the living room and bedroom. places that need to be "comfortable". And Berber I may use in the hallway or the back room. Places that do not need to be "comfortable" places that will get tougher traffic. Either way, though A house with all Berber all the way through is nice. And a house with nothing but thick plush is nice too. As far as installing Berber or Plush, 9 times out of 10 I'd pick plush, That too I'd say is the persons preference.

 Length x Width, divide by 9=sq yds      The way to figure how much carpet and pad your going need is,,  the length of the room multiplied by the width of the room. That will give you the square footage.To get yards you take your square footage and divide that by nine, there is your yardage.          Now that's just the formula, It's best to go to the room to be installed and say you have a room that is 11'6" x 15' well 12' wide carpet would work great and it's 15' long, so you need a 12x15 which is 20 yards.    Now say you have a room that is 16' x 18'   If your using 12' wide carpet you can get a 24' piece, and depending on where you want the seams, you could use a 18' piece and cut a 6' piece  4' wide 3 times. or a 16' piece with 2 8' pieces cut 6' wide seamed together
