Barefoot, you sink into this rug a little. It really is soft. The polyester pile is long, and you feel it with every step, especially in the morning when you come out of a warm bed.

Beige holds back and suits light parquet as well as grey vinyl. The square shape fits nicely under an equally square coffee table or into a reading corner with an armchair. It is machine-woven in China, and the back is cotton. Cosy.

Vacuum on a low setting and without the brush. Shake it outside now and then.
