Created: Dec, 2024

When creating a bedroom in a building or on a concrete slab, choosing the right type of bedroom flooring for the space is essential. At Greatmats, we have several options for bedroom flooring to go over concrete that offers the durability, comfort, and ease of installation you’ll need. Whether you’re looking for a plush carpet or a modern stone look, we have plenty of products to give you some ideas.

Essential Qualities in Bedroom Flooring to Go Over Concrete

As you shop for flooring for your bedroom, be sure to look for the following qualities.

Comfort


Whether you’re planning your master bedroom or a space for guests, choose the flooring that’s comfortable underfoot. Hard, cold flooring will make getting out of bed in the morning unpleasant. Flooring with a bit of cushion to it, a carpet surface, or a tile that’s designed to buffer the cold of your concrete floor will all make your bedroom more enjoyable.

Style


You’ll also want to consider the overall aesthetics and styles that a flooring product offers. Many of our products are available in numerous finishes, so you can choose a color and style that complements your decor and your vision for your bedroom.

Installation Versatility


Concrete floors aren’t always perfectly flat. If your subfloor is worn or uneven, look for a product that can be installed over such a surface.

Moisture Resistance


Many basements have issues with leaks or even floods. Consider whether a product is waterproof or water-resistant before choosing it for your basement.

Ease of Installation


Be sure to read the installation instructions for any flooring product you plan to purchase. Many of our products support an easy DIY-friendly installation, which can save you the cost of a professional installation and make your flooring product purchase more affordable overall. If your basement is prone to moisture issues, consider a product that offers a temporary installation and that can be removed and reinstalled as needed.
