Have always wanted a cow skin rug, but they are just too thin for when you want to lay on the floor.  I was skeptical about getting this but I could always return it.  I purchased the largest one, 8' x 6.6".  To my surprise, this rug looks like the real deal.  Not thick, but it is soft and has a very nice backing.  I've ordered a 1/4 inch pad to put underneath which I think will give it the little bit of cushion I'm looking for.  It is light weight - can be moved easily, and so far the ends have not curled up.  I Love it!  Might buy another one in a different color tone for a different room.
