Stepping onto this rug is like walking on a cloud.  It's about 1inch think,  but feels like it's much thicker. Because of the added cushion, its ability to absorb is greatly increased. This doesnt mean that the thickness prevents it from drying; it dries quickly and doesn't have a mildew smell, even after several days.
The gray color matches almost any decor. The signature alligator/crocodile adds to its stlyishness.
My daughter has already claimed it as one of her college items.
