The Bartz Aqua Area Rug was the perfect addition to my daughter’s bedroom. Her room is very purple with lots of pink and it needed something to break up all of the purple and pinks. It is very soft and comfortable to walk on. The area rug is on top of our carpet, but I really think that it is thick enough that it would also be very comfortable on a hard surface floor. My daughter has loved laying on it and playing on it - which makes the durability also an added bonus.  anadded bonus. it
