This rug is amazing!! It’s soft, bright in a good way as well. I was looking for a rug to put in my husband’s man cafe to distinguish the kids play area ...a rug that was child-like but modern enough to look good in the “man cave.”  The texture and height is comfortable without a rug pad.... it has that shag feel but soft and the bristles lay down very softly.  Rainbow colordepth  does not change no matter which way the bristles lay.  I find myself running my fingers through the carpet because it’s so soft.... it’s man made material, good for cleaning especially being a kids rug.  I’m glad I got the white one instead of the blue version ... this makes the area bright.  I paired it with another Wayfair futon with is great as well.. I believe it’s by sealy.
