Not every aspect. Softness, for walking, standing and sitting or laying on
is also a consideration.
So also are the thermal characteristics. You may not mind a bare foot on a
cold tile, but I prefer carpet underfoot.

That is why we have area rugs in a couple of places. We still have carpet in
much of hte house, but someday that will change.

If I'm sitting in a char for some length of time, I want a carpe under my
feet. I rarely wear shoes in the house so it is an issue. Not a big deal
to wall through a room, but for extended contact. carpe is nice.
