What rug material should I choose?Updated 10 days ago

It really depends on the use case.

• A lot of our rugs are made of wool, which we love for its durability and texture. It’s a solid choice for most places in your house or apartment because it acts as a great noise insulator and is more stain-resistant than other types of materials. We also make washable wool rugs—their fibers will open with use and cleaning to become thicker and fluffier over time.
• If you’re placing a rug in a location where you want moisture to be absorbed—for example, near your bathroom—cotton or denim may actually be a preferred choice because it can better absorb moisture.
• If you want something that’s a little more water-resistant, like an outdoor rug, or something that can withstand harsh weather, synthetics are a better choice. All of our outdoor-indoor rugs are made with synthetic material—like recycled PET— because it’s designed to be more rugged for all weather conditions.
• Similarly, though not designed for the outdoors, recycled polyester rugs are highly durable, mildew-resistant, and machine-washable. This makes them a good choice for parents, pet-parents, or if you’re worried about spills.
• Jute rugs aren’t great with moisture or water but are good if you need something both elegant and durable. They work in high-traffic areas, as well as for layering under vintage rugs.
