We have just got rid of a table from the lounge, but the feet have left indentations in the carpet.
Is there an easy way to raise the pile again?

Isn't there an old trick of using ice cubes? A rug is probably highly effective. :)

Spray with a little water, brush vigorously, let dry out completely before repeating.

Suck the pile back upright using the vacuum cleaner crevice tool (narrow nossle), or even the raw end of the tube. Some vigorous rubbing with the end of the nossle/tube at the same time is likely to be required.

What is the carpet made of? Different materials will react differently to heat, for instance.

I have the same problem but I have assumed that the underlay has compacted and the backing of the carpet has stretched into a permanant dent. I have tried the hoover trisk - it doesn't work for me. I feel sure that the backing has stretched.

That can work surprisingly well. Drop the ice cube into the dent and leave to melt.
When dry (or close) vacuum.
