Eastbend Blue 8' x 10' Rug

Absolutely. This rug is specifically designed for high-traffic environments. The ultra-thin pile prevents pet claws from snagging and makes it much easier to clean than traditional high-pile rugs. Most importantly, it features an incorporated non-skid rubber backing, which provides essential stability and grip on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile, keeping your family safe from slips and trips.

Yes. Despite its low-profile look, this rug is constructed with an extremely heavy, dense pile. Our design expertise allows this rug to offer a sophisticated, thin aesthetic while maintaining a surprisingly plush and cushioned feel underfoot. It provides the luxury of a thick rug without the bulk, making it easier for doors to clear and for furniture to sit level.

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile, large-scale choice for anchoring a room. In a living room, we recommend the "front-legs-on" rule, where the front feet of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug to unify the seating area. For a bedroom, this size is ideal for placing under the lower two-thirds of a queen or king-sized bed, ensuring a soft, cushioned landing on both sides of the bed when you wake up.

This rug is UV-stabilized, which means it is engineered to resist fading even in sun-drenched environments. While it is perfect for indoor-outdoor transitional spaces like sunrooms, mudrooms, or covered porches, we recommend using it in "covered" outdoor areas. This helps preserve the ultra-soft, dense pile and ensures the rug stays in peak condition away from direct exposure to heavy rainfall.

To maintain the integrity of the dense pile, our care instructions recommend vacuuming the rug regularly using straight suction only; avoid using a beater bar, as it can be too aggressive for thinner weaves. For daily maintenance, you can easily take the rug outside to shake it out. For accidental spills, simply spot clean with water to keep the striped pattern and blue tones looking vibrant.

No additional rug pad is necessary. One of the standout features of this rug is its built-in non-skid rubber backing. This integrated layer serves two purposes: it provides the necessary grip to prevent the rug from sliding on hard floors and adds an extra layer of cushioned comfort, saving you the expense and hassle of buying and trimming a separate pad.
