Is wool carpet durable?

I'd like a wool carpet in my living room but I'm not sure it'll be durable enough? Will it last?

"Hi , your best option is to get either 80/20 percent for durability . However the new acrylic carpets have the same attributes plus cleanability so therefore a better choice 👍"

"Durability. Wool is resistant to heavy use and even if flocks of people stomp a wool carpet every single day, it will still appear beautiful. As long as you bought a well-made one."

"You can expect a wool carpet to last for 20–25 years. They are one of the hardest-wearing types of carpet available."

"Yes if you have a good quality underlay and your carpet is hessian backed and not foam backed"
