Quality of rug is good especially for the price it's listed for. On the back side it already has the capability to keep the rug in place so you don't have to buy anything extra to put under it. If you are looking for a rug that offers plush support this may not be for you, or you would just need to buy something in addition to place under the rug. The rug itself has a softer texture-it's not stiff-definitely bare feet friendly.
