So my wife and I are considering luxury vinyl in our bedroom as part of a home update. We are replacing carpet that currently extends to the vanity area and need something at least somewhat water resistant. Due to the design of the room, one floor type across both bed and vanity areas makes the most sense as we do not have the funds for a more significant remodel.

Believe it or not, one of our biggest concerns is the floating aspect of the floor. I don't think I could live with any kind of hollow, not firm, feel of the floor. We are used to the glued-down hardwood and tile in the rest of the living areas.

Is my concern warranted? My other thought is to install engineered hardwood that perhaps, might be okay for the vanity area. FYI, the shower and toilet are in an enclosed room adjacent to the vanity so it could have it's own floor.

Thank you.
