What is a HighBulk carpet exactly? 

In the machine-made carpet industry, eight colors of thread are usually used to weave carpets. In the production of embossed carpets, one or more of these eight colors are used from highbalk yarn. This type of thread is heated in the finishing process after carpet weaving and becomes one to two millimeters shorter than other carpet threads. Usually, in the design of the embossed machine-made carpet, the background color is chosen from highbulk yarn, so as a result, after weaving and completing the carpet, the height of the flowers of the carpet will be higher than the piles of the background, therefore, the flowers will look embossed.
