Bought the 9x12 size - looks great in our family room. Comfortable and does not require additional padding, but I ended up buying padding because my baby kept falling on the carpet. It did have a chemical odour initially, but it subsided after a few days. Great price for quality. Update: one year after buying the carpet is not plush in every area anymore (it has flattened in certain high traffic areas which is disappointing). It still looks good, but it's not as plush.
