I got this for a man who has various health issues. It is in front of his recliner. He usually wears his slippers all the time. He loves the Ivana rug, so much. He takes his shoes off, now, and loves the feel of the rug. I have tried many styles, to improve his comfortand help circulation. This is, by far, the very best. It is amazing how much he loves it! The rug is beautiful, and the feel is the best!I highly recommend it.
