1200 Reeds Machine-Made Carpet with 3600 Density: A Perfect Blend of Fineness and Softness
What is a 1200 Reeds Carpet?
A machine-made 1200 reeds carpet refers to a carpet that has 1200 knots (reeds) per meter in its width. Typically, this type of carpet comes with a longitudinal density of 3600 knots, which means over 1,440,000 knots per square meter and about 2,880,000 points. This extremely dense weave results in a carpet that looks remarkably close to a hand-knotted Persian carpet, making it one of the most elegant and sought-after choices for those who love fine and delicate designs.
Key Features of 1200 Reeds Carpets
-
Handmade-like elegance thanks to the very fine weave and detailed patterns.
-

-
Pile yarn is usually made from heat-set acrylic, highly resistant to sunlight, washing, and wear.
-
Weft yarn is typically 100% cotton, giving the carpet softness, flexibility, and breathability.
-
Weight of a 12 m² carpet ranges from 28 to 40 kg, with heavier pieces being thicker and more durable.
Why Choose a 1200 Reeds Carpet?
Delicate and luxurious design, very close to handmade carpets.
Long-lasting durability and resistance against heavy foot traffic.
Perfect for luxury spaces such as living rooms, reception halls, hotels, and offices.
An excellent choice for bridal dowry due to its beauty and longevity.
Is a 1200 Reeds Carpet Too Thin?
A common misconception among buyers is that 1200 reeds carpets are too thin because of their fine weave. Many Iranian buyers prefer thicker carpets, which often pushes them towards 700 reeds carpets.
However, thickness and durability largely depend on the brand and manufacturer. Some factories reduce costs by using cheaper yarn, lower pile height, or weak cotton wefts, which result in a lighter and thinner carpet.
On the other hand, Tos Mashhad Carpet Company produces high-density 1200 reeds carpets with 100% imported heat-set acrylic pile yarn, 100% cotton weft yarn, and exceptional weight and thickness. This ensures that buyers get both luxury and durability in one product.
Difference Between 700, 1200, and 1500 Reeds Carpets
Compared to 700 reeds: 1200 reeds carpets are much more detailed and elegant, while still keeping good softness and thickness.
Compared to 1500 reeds: 1200 reeds carpets are more affordable and thicker, while 1500 reeds carpets focus mainly on ultra-fine elegance.
This makes 1200 reeds carpets a balanced choice—offering beauty, durability, and price advantage all at once.
