It's soft, but the fibers are very "silky" which doesn't feel natural for a rug at all.  I have it in my daughter's room, under the bed, and it bunches up constantly with just normal walking.  I have to pull the rug in 3 different directions every day just to straighten out the huge wrinkles.  They're not subtle...  I'm talking about 2" tall wrinkles that stick up all over the place because the bed legs hold part of it down.  I have other rugs under beds and none of them do that except this one.  I wish the fibers were a regular rug fiber.  This feels like a cheap Chinese fur from the inside of a cheap fur hoodie.  Very strange for a rug.  I hate it.  Other than that, it's a soft rug with cute colors for a girls' room.
