I purchased this rug for my toddlers room. She would always bring her toys into another room that had a rug because she never wanted to play on the floor in her room...until this rug came in! Now all my kids want to play in her room on this rug. It is so soft and plush. I have this on my hardwood, up against her bed, without a pad and it doesn't move at all. It also flattened out within a couple of hours of taking it out of the plastic. I would definitely buy this rug again!
