What I’ve heard (fairly recently) is do not skimp on anything that goes between you and the ground: bed, shoes, office chair. I’d add carpet to that because my feet hurt standing on hardwood/vinyl/thin carpet and I often have to wear shoes indoors.
Hardwood is great, but you need to plan where you’re hanging around. Area rugs are useful, and for dishes or cooking a good spongy mat is useful and looks nice
