I bought the runner and the 5x7 rug. They are both soft, thick rugs. Both needed pads underneath to keep them from sliding around. They feel great to my bare feet. They lay flat after only a few hours. The fabric is longer than I expected but in a good way...adds to the comfort in my opinion. They don't shed which is a relief since we have dark floors. Overall, I love both of these and am considering purchasing a larger one for the master closet.
