Saxony and twist are both cut-pile carpets, but the way the fibres are finished changes how they look, feel and perform.
Saxony pile
Fibres stand straight and are cut to an even length, giving a smooth, luxurious, velvety look. Saxony is soft and visually striking but shows footprints and vacuum lines more readily — best suited to lower-traffic rooms like bedrooms and formal lounges.
Twist pile
Fibres are tightly twisted before cutting, creating a textured, flecked surface that hides footmarks and vacuum lines far better. Twist is the go-to choice for busy family living rooms, hallways and stairs.
