The most softest rug ever!! I had ordered a different brand of rug for the room I used this in, but the smell of the other rug is still potent after many months, so I came back and ordered this one and SO glad I did. Only regret is that I didn’t order this one from the start! I ordered another cloudpile rug for another room before, so I 100% knew what kind of rug type I was coming back for to replace the awful smelly one. Rifle Paper CloudPile rugs are the way to go!!! Lays flat instantly. Will need to put tape under to hold in place where furniture isn’t setting but that’s easy and I have 0 complaints. LOVE IT!
