Love it! (STEAM. IT.)
So, you know those people who're like "omg! the rug was packaged poorly, it's all wrinkled and warped, it's USELESS TO ME LIKE THIS OMG!!" Yeah, don't listen to them. Back when I lived in Japan, I got a much thicker foam rug in the mail and yes... IT HAD CREASES. Why? Cuz they have to fold it up to send it through the mail. xD But it's an easy fix. Either lay it face down and let it unfold that way, or steam it. For my rug, my rug was small enough I could toss it in the dryer and put on the steam mode and all of the wrinkles were gone. If your rug is big, you can likely iron it, just be careful. It has a plushness to it, but it is on the thin side. Straight out of the box, it won't feel like foam at all because it's been compacted down. So, steaming or letting it unfurl and settle upside down for a while will help its volume perk back up. Just know that it is thin. It's more cushioned than a traditional rug, but it's not got the volume of a Japanese styled memory foam rug. Anyway, my 8 month old puppy - whom I adopted last month - has graduated from his puppy pad and started to use his puppy pad as a rug. So, I got this as a gift to him for "graduating from the puppy pad" and he loves it. He likes to lay on it and chomp on his antlers or squeaky ball. He also likes to nap on it. When I had it downstairs briefly, he hopped off the couch to lay on it. I got him a yellow one (which is perfect, true to colour) and the dark blue one (which is true to colour except the trimming around the edges are much lighter than the pictures). He decided he liked the yellow one. He won't use the the blue one at all. So, I'll be returning the blue one and getting a second yellow one for him (one is for upstairs and one is for downstairs). Also, when I sat on it for some cuddle time, I noticed just how soft it was. It's soooo nice. And though it's thin, it's comfortable enough for me to sit on the hardwood floor with him for cuddle time. PUPPY APPROVED! Read more
