This rug is about 3" thick and
 super soft. I love the quilted
 faux backing. The wool is very
 soft and not matted at all. I
 was surprised at how white
 (not natural or ivory) this
 was which is exactly what I
 had hoped for. It looks and
 feels very luxurious. My only
 two complaints were that both
 rugs I had ordered had defects
 (one has a spot right smack
 dab in the middle of it where
 the wool was dyed black on the
 tips...it is about the size of
 a golf ball and really
 noticeable. The second rug had
 about a 4" tear between the
 pelts where it hadn't been
 seen together all the way but
 it's not noticeable when
 laying flat,). I'm still
 trying to decide if I should
 go through the hassle of
 returning and reordering them.
