Which style transition/threshold do I need for carpeted stairs to meet floor boards

carpet

I've had a new carpet installed on my stairs.

The fitter wasn't able to supply a threshold and I wasn't at home at the time of the install so I couldn't ask him what style I needed.

Is there a specific curvature/style/design name that I should be using for this scenario?

My recommendation would be to terminate the carpet on the last riser. If you put in a threshold, yes you'll protect the end of the carpet, but you'll still have a lip for people to trip over and fall. Not fun.

If your flooring has no terminal piece at the top of the stairs, you can certainly get pre-shaped "noses" with proper support built into the shape.
