Nice and thick (see picture with Loonie for reference) and soft.   Could still use an underpad to make it cushioned if you wanted to lie on it.  White colour not too stark - has some warmth in it.  I took off one star because the rug I received was actually 16” longer than the 8’x10’size I ordered, which is a bonus (and great value) for this room but made it unusable for the room I ordered it for.
