The most popular rug materials
Popular rug materials
Compared to other popular rug materials, wool rugs stand out for several reasons:
Synthetic Fibers: While synthetic rugs are often more affordable and resistant to moisture, they lack the luxurious feel and natural resilience of wool.
Cotton: Cotton rugs are easy to clean and lightweight, but they wear out faster and don't offer the same level of warmth and durability as wool.
Jute and Sisal: Rugs made from natural fibers like jute and sisal are eco-friendly and durable but can be rough underfoot and are less stain-resistant compared to wool.

Viscose Rugs
Viscose rugs are a great alternative to the expensive silk rug with a silky-smooth texture and low pile. Made from a manmade fiber, that feels luxurious and soft to walk on and creates a plush, lavish look although it is affordable.
Viscose will need care and is known for shedding so careful cleaning will be required. More suitable in low traffic areas.
Ideal in bedrooms, living rooms, & areas with no children or pets.
