Same here... I avoid new carpets totally. I think it's not so much the particles as the strong chemicals they use in it. You just have to go into a carpet store to experience it first hand.
Congratulations on taking action and making it happen! Laminate floors are so much nicer too and easier to care for.
In our current house (a rental) it was newly painted when we moved in. So we rigged up a bed on the desk under a covered area. A year and a half later we're still sleeping there. It's just amazing! And you can thank the carpet for helping you achieve your goal of changing the floor sooner too!
Have a great day!
