I like this rug way more than I thought I would. It’s one of my favourite purchases in our whole house! Because it has no pile and is just printed, I thought it would feel thin and cold, but it is surprisingly warm (nice texture), and the durability is incredible. We’ve already had a few pet accidents on it and it cleans up beautifully, not to mention the lovely pattern hides everything. I find it is fine on its own without anything underneath, though that would add a bit of extra softness.
