Nylon
Nylon is the most used material for making runners as it’s a strong fiber, making it suitable for high-traffic areas

Wool
Wool is an all-around, designer-favorite natural material
It's not just super cozy—it's durable and has scales on the fibers that hide dirt, making it clean easily, and it's naturally fire-retardant
Wool also dyes well, allowing rich hues
However, wool runners tend to be more expensive than synthetic material
