I love this rug! I never thought I’d find a rug of this quality for the price. I’ve probably blown through 3 rugs, including a ruggable in the last few years that just looked terrible after a few months of regular use.
It’s super plush and thick compared to the cheap polyester rugs I’ve had in the past. I didn’t find I needed a pad, just some adhesive strips to keep it from sliding. It does require frequent vacuuming (at least once a week), especially in the beginning because it sheds. The navy color shows lint and light colored pet hair but it just takes a few minutes of vacuuming to look spotless again.
