Barefoot on a Sunday morning, coffee in hand, you want something soft underfoot that doesn't fuss. The Eddy in black gives a living room or a nursery exactly that, with a chequered pattern that keeps the dark colour lively.

• 100% polyester pile, jute backing
• Machine-woven in Turkey
• Shaggy high pile, chequered design
• Round shape
• Suitable for underfloor heating

Machine weaving is why the lines of the checks come out so crisp and even. As a Synthetic Fibre Rug, the Eddy is soft and colourfast, and a round rug like this looks right under a small dining table or as a play spot in a kids' room. Beside a bed, it also works as one of our Bedroom Rugs, a soft island where your feet land first thing in the morning. Wondering about diameter? Our guide to choosing the right size will help.

Spills sit on the black polyester for a moment, which gives you time to blot rather than rub, and the long pile needs very little water. Comb the black Eddy through with a wide-toothed comb so it doesn't mat and brush flattened spots against the pile, as our rug care tips show. Vacuum without the rotating brush.
