Quest Carpets Reviews
When customers ask us for a reliable, Australian-made carpet brand, Quest Carpets is often one of the first names we introduce. Established in 1978 and proudly manufacturing in Melbourne, Quest has been supplying quality carpets to homes and commercial spaces across Australia for more than four decades.
For our clients, this means locally made products designed for Australian living conditions, with consistent quality and dependable performance. Quest offers a wide range of carpets to suit different budgets — from practical solutions for investment properties to comfortable, premium options for family homes.
At Floorplan Studio, we recommend Quest Carpets because they represent steady quality, sensible pricing, and long-term reliability — the kind of carpet most homeowners are truly looking for.
In the following sections, we’ll take a closer look at several of their key ranges — including their polyester carpets, solution dyed nylon carpets, and wool carpets — to see how each fibre performs in real homes, and which option may best suit different lifestyles and budgets.
Solution Dyed Nylon Carpet – Maddison Grove
Solution Dyed Nylon (SDN) is one of the most popular synthetic carpet fibres on the market today. It is known for high strength, strong wear resistance, resilience under heavy foot traffic, and resistance to chemicals and fading. Because the colour is added during the fibre production process (solution dyeing), each fibre is coloured all the way through — meaning it will not easily lose colour even after years of wear.
Feel: 5/5
Maddison Grove is a soft cut pile carpet. At 60oz, it is the highest density nylon option within Quest’s range. The combination of cut pile construction and high density makes it extremely plush and comfortable underfoot. It feels soft, full, and luxurious when stepped on.
Appearance: 3.5/5
With 10 colour options available, Maddison Grove offers modern, versatile tones. It works beautifully in bedrooms for comfort, and also performs well in living rooms and hallways. Its design is relatively simple, so it may not serve as a dramatic design feature — but it provides a clean and elegant foundation.
Durability: 5/5
SDN is highly resistant to wear, flattening, and chemical exposure. It holds its shape well even in high-traffic areas. This is one of the strongest-performing fibres in practical family homes.
Maintenance: 5/5
Solution dyed nylon is one of the easiest carpets to maintain. The cut pile structure does not trap dirt easily, and routine vacuuming is typically sufficient. It also handles everyday spills better than most fibres.
Price: 3.5/5
At around $75/sqm installed, Maddison Grove sits at the premium end of Quest’s nylon range. If you prefer something similar but more budget-friendly, Mediterranean (40oz) or Mantra are alternatives.
Overall: 4.5/5
Plush, durable, easy to maintain, and highly practical. Slightly higher in price and visually understated — but one of the most reliable options we recommend.
100% Pure New Wool Carpet – Winslow
Quest describes Winslow as a “classic” wool carpet — and that is exactly how it feels. It features a small loop pile construction that many people associate with traditional wool carpets.
Feel: 5/5
Wool softness is different from nylon softness. Nylon feels silky and smooth. Wool has a natural texture, slight resistance, and gentle elasticity. Some describe it as “textured” rather than silky — and that texture is exactly what gives wool its charm. Once accustomed to it, many homeowners appreciate its grounded, natural comfort.
Appearance: 3/5
Winslow’s small loop design is simple and understated. It may not reflect today’s more dramatic wool patterns, but it suits bedrooms, apartments, and smaller living spaces well.
Durability: 3.5/5
Wool carpets often last 10–15 years with proper care. Winslow comes with a 7-year warranty, suggesting a practical lifespan of around 10 years under normal conditions.
Maintenance: 4/5
Wool is naturally hypoallergenic and contains no synthetic chemicals. Short loop pile wool sheds less than plush wool styles and is relatively manageable — but proper vacuum heads and cleaning products are important.
Price: 5/5
At around $65/sqm installed, Winslow offers genuine wool at an accessible entry-level price. Higher-end wool options such as Blairgowrie are also available at a higher price point.
Overall: 4.1/5
A practical, everyday wool carpet. Not luxury-focused, but honest, natural, and excellent value for those who want wool without overspending.
Solution Dyed Soft Polyester Carpet – Nevada Charm
If you ask for the thickest carpet in the range, Nevada Charm stands out at 75oz density. Polyester is a synthetic fibre known for affordability, stain resistance, and colour clarity.
Feel: 4/5
Nevada Charm is exceptionally thick — your hand can sink deeply into the pile. It works beautifully in home theatres, lounges, and relaxation spaces. Polyester softness is plush but slightly less refined compared to nylon or wool.
Appearance: 3/5
As a cut pile carpet, the design is simple. Darker colours tend to enhance its depth and richness, while lighter tones create a soft backdrop.
Durability: 4/5
Higher-end polyester is durable and stain-resistant. However, compared to nylon, it may show flattening sooner under heavy traffic.
Maintenance: 5/5
Polyester is resistant to stains and chemical exposure. Routine vacuuming is typically sufficient for maintenance.
Price: 5/5
At around $65/sqm installed for a 70–75oz density carpet, it offers impressive thickness at a very competitive price.
Overall: 4.2/5
Affordable, thick, stain-resistant, and practical. A strong option for comfort-focused areas of the home.
Final Thoughts
At first glance, Quest Carpets may not appear flashy or overly decorative. But once you experience the products in person, the build quality and practicality become clear.
Their carpets are functional, well-made, and fairly priced. If you are not chasing dramatic statement flooring but instead want something dependable for everyday living, Quest Carpets is a brand we confidently recommend at Floorplan Studio.
