Does anyone have allergies? Do you know of any type of carpet that does not aggravate allergies? Have you personally tried it?
Thanks.

If you have allergies you are better with a bare floor, not a carpet. Any carpet, no matter what its made of, will trap allergens in it that can't effectively be cleaned out.(such as dust, mites, mold spores, pollen and animal dander from outside, etc.) If you must carpet, the less fluffy the better, so it won't catch so much dust. Short and dense fibers in an easy clean material, like in hotels. But this is nowhere near as good as a bare floor, like wood or tile, that you can mop, and just put washable area rugs in the places you absolutely need them.

Thanks, that is what I thought. The problem is that my downstairs neighbor has already sent a letter to a lawyer about the fact that I don't want carpet. From what I understand it is very often in the lease in New York that if your downstairs neighbor complains, the upstairs has to get carpet. She admits that we are not doing anything unusual - our normal living bothers her.
I don't want my kids getting worse allergies or worse ear infections. My doctor has already said that we shouldn't have carpet. To me, carpet is filthy and it is a great place for insects to hide.
She could switch her bedroom, get a white noise machine, ear plugs and even do something to her ceiling - or accept that we cannot tiptoe all day.
