These rugs are so soft that your toes even enjoy the fluff. But for us it is the safety of the backing that prevents the slipping. They look beautiful in our bathroom because the variation of color joins the Master Bedroom for a continuous flow. Even our dog loves them.  He stays with us while either of us showers and lays on the rug by the shower door.  He doesn’t want to get up and move, and when he does the rug is still in place. I recommend these because of safety and beauty!
