I am pretty sure the stair carpet we have is a blend with at least some
synthetic on a hessian back. Probably polyester rather than nylon. Been
down 5 years or so, still looks pristine.

The key seems to be use a very good underlay since that makes the carpet
last much longer, and also keeps the noise from foot falls on the stairs
down.
