Kids Apollon Gray 5' x 7' Rug

This rug is an excellent option for health-conscious parents because it is constructed from all-natural fibers and is completely latex-free. The pile is a hand-tufted blend of rayon and jute, supported by a pure cotton backing. Being latex-free is particularly important for children with sensitivities, as it eliminates common synthetic odors and allergens often found in rug adhesives.

Yes, a medium pile provides the ideal balance between comfort and practicality. While it offers a plush texture that is soft enough for floor play and "tummy time," it remains low-shed and easy to maintain. Unlike high-pile or shag rugs, this medium-pile construction won’t easily trap small toys or debris, making it much easier to keep clean with regular vacuuming.

This rug is well-suited for active households. The hand-tufted construction and serged edge finish provide a durable, clean look that resists fraying. Furthermore, the low-shed properties of the rayon and jute blend mean you won't be constantly dealing with loose fibers, even with pets running across the surface.

Because this rug features natural jute and cotton, our care experts recommend immediate action for spills. Blot the area instantly with a clean, dry cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible; avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. For persistent spots, use a small amount of mild detergent with cool water and continue to blot until the stain is lifted.

A 5' x 7' rug is a versatile mid-size that works perfectly in several configurations. In a nursery, it can be centered in the room to provide a soft landing zone or placed partially under the crib. For a twin-sized bed, we recommend placing the rug horizontally under the lower two-thirds of the bed so that several feet of soft pile extend on either side, providing a warm spot for feet to land in the morning.

For children with respiratory sensitivities, this rug is a strategic choice. Its low-shedding nature and medium pile height prevent the excessive accumulation of dust and dander that often gets trapped in thicker rugs. Additionally, the use of all-natural materials and the absence of latex backing help maintain better indoor air quality by minimizing chemical off-gassing.
