We werent sure how it would lay and after we ordered, read some of the reviews.  Read that it was rough on the bare feet.  I will tell you, that's BS.  We purchased the .25" pad, and it's not rough at all.  The dogs like it, and the cats have not tried to use it as a scratching post.  Our previous area rug was purchased from Wayfair and it was a multiple color.  It was nice, but this new rug has elevated the look of the room!!  Beautiful color, and very comfy underfoot.  Couldn't be happier!  I'll attach a picture and you'll get a glimpse of the rug.  Makes the area look so much bigger!!
