Why Toos Mashhad’s Thick and Heavy Carpets Are Changing the Market

Date: 2025-08-02

Introduction: A New Standard for Real-Quality Carpets

In today’s carpet market, something odd is happening: the more luxurious a carpet looks, the thinner it gets. Particularly in 1200 and 1500 reeds machine-made carpets, manufacturers are racing to reduce weight and thickness to cut costs. As a result, customers searching for high-quality carpets are met with disappointment: flat, lightweight rugs that feel nothing like the traditional carpets they grew up with.

But the demand is clear—consumers all over the world are looking for carpets that are not just decorative, but durable, thick, warm, and satisfying underfoot. They want real value, not a decorative sheet. At Toos Mashhad Carpet, we listened. And we decided to do things differently.

We engineered a line of carpets that defy today’s “light and hollow” trend. With unmatched density, real weight, and high-quality imported yarns, our carpets meet the silent expectations of customers looking for substance—not shortcuts.

Unmatched Specifications

Real Pile Height

700 reeds: ~11 mm
1200 reeds: ~8 mm
1500 reeds: ~6 mm ± 0.1 mm tolerance

These measurements reflect real, tested thickness—not inflated claims. Most standard carpets on the market today are less than 6 mm thick, especially in higher reeds.

Real Weight

700 reeds (12 m²): ~40 kg
1200 reeds (12 m²): ~40 kg
1500 reeds (12 m²): ~36 kg ± 0.1 kg

Weight per square meter (m²):

700 & 1200 reeds: ~3.3 kg/m²
1500 reeds: ~3.0 kg/m²

Compared to competitors offering rugs as light as 2.0–2.6 kg/m², our products deliver 25%–50% more material and substance.

Premium Yarn & Structure

Pile yarn: 100% acrylic, heat-set, from AKSA (Turkey)
Weft yarn: 100% pure cotton (ring-spun)

Many brands rely on polyester blends to save costs. We don’t. Our use of premium yarn guarantees durability, softness, low shedding, and a longer life cycle.

Real Advantages of a Thick and Heavy Carpet

Superior Insulation

Thicker carpets are natural thermal barriers. They retain heat during cold seasons and provide breathable comfort in summer. This helps reduce floor-level temperature loss and even saves on energy bills.

Sound Absorption

Heavier, denser carpets absorb sound better, reducing echo and noise in busy households. A thick carpet contributes to a quieter, more peaceful living space.

Comfort Underfoot

Unlike thin, hard carpets, a dense pile offers plush comfort and a luxurious feeling with every step. It turns walking into a calming, enjoyable experience.

Safety Benefits

A thicker carpet reduces impact injuries from slips and falls—especially important for seniors and toddlers. The cushioned surface adds an extra layer of safety in the home.

Joint & Back Relief

Walking or standing on a hard surface strains the joints. A soft, supportive carpet like ours helps alleviate pressure on knees, hips, and spine. It's ideal for households where people stand or walk barefoot for extended periods.

Stability on the Floor

Lightweight carpets often slide, bunch, or wrinkle. Our heavier carpets stay firmly in place, reducing the need for rug pads or anti-slip accessories.

Longevity and Resistance

More material means more durability. A heavier, denser carpet withstands vacuuming, cleaning, furniture pressure, and years of wear better than any lightweight alternative.
