We have a main bedroom addition that we just had built that is 15 x 16 feet. We are getting ready to price carpet for the room and are realizing that it seems most carpet rolls are 12-15 feet.

I don't know much about carpet honestly, but I believe it is held down by tack strips, which would not be a good idea for the middle of a room.

Are we pretty much at a point where we need to consider something other than carpet? Most of the house is tile, and we wanted the bedrooms to be softer on the feet, but wondering if we may be out of of luck with that.

Any help or direction would be appreciate.

Yes, you can install carpet in a room that is wider than the carpet roll. Installers use a seam sealing tape and a special iron to melt the glue in the tape. A good installer will know to keep the pile in the same direction. The result is a continuous carpet with no visible seams.
