{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"For heavy use, compare fibre resilience, pile density, twist, construction and suitability ratings rather than relying on softness or price alone. Look at how the sample recovers after pressure, whether it shows footprints or shading, and whether the proposed underlay and maintenance routine suit concentrated wear paths. Do not judge on softness alone. Fibre, pile construction, density, backing, roll width, underlay and installation all affect appearance, comfort, cleanability and long-term wear. Keep the exact product name, colour, batch details, written specification, care guide and warranty conditions with the final quote so future cleaning, repairs or replacement discussions refer to the carpet actually supplied.","answer_source":"grounded_carpet_fallback","category":"Shag Pile Carpets","category_slug":"shag-pile-carpets","confidence":"general_guidance_reviewed","conversation_depth":0,"conversation_followup_type":"","conversation_parent_slug":"","conversation_reason":"","conversation_root_slug":"","created_at":"2026-10-04T19:13:15+00:00","daily_publish_cap":3,"date_published":"2026-10-05","display_date":"2026-10-05","drip_batch":"2026-10-05","drip_status":"daily_auto_published","freshness_warning":"Carpet information can change.
