Marmot Charcoal 7'10 x 10' Rug

Yes, a rug of this dimension is an excellent choice for a bedroom. When placing it under a king-sized bed, we recommend positioning the rug starting about halfway down the bed so it extends past the foot and sides. This provides a soft, warm landing for your feet in the morning while leaving enough of your flooring visible to maintain a balanced, open look in the room.

Yes, initial shedding is a hallmark of high-quality, natural wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. This occurs as loose structural fibers work their way to the surface. Based on our expertise, we recommend vacuuming your rug at least once or twice a week during the first few months. Ensure you use a vacuum without a beater bar or set it to the highest floor setting to protect the hand-knotted detail.

For natural wool, immediate action is key. Our care guides recommend blotting the spill immediately with a clean, dry cloth—never scrub, as this can damage the fibers. If a stain persists, use a mixture of mild detergent and cool water to gently blot the area. Avoid harsh chemicals or oxygen-based cleaners, which can strip the natural lanolin from the wool and affect its soft texture.

A 100% natural wool rug offers superior durability and resilience that synthetic fibers often struggle to match. Because wool is naturally elastic, the fibers spring back after being compressed by footsteps or furniture, preventing the "crushed" look common in high-traffic zones. This specific rug features an exceptional hand-knotted construction with 200 knots per square inch, providing a dense, high-quality foundation that can last for decades with proper care.

Wool is a breathable, "intelligent" fiber that naturally manages moisture, making it a sophisticated choice for various climates. It is also naturally flame-retardant and resistant to dust mites. For pet owners, the tight hand-knotted weave is particularly beneficial as it is more resistant to snags from claws compared to tufted or looped styles. Additionally, wool’s natural coating makes it somewhat resistant to liquid "soaking in" immediately, giving you a vital window to clean up accidents.

Low-pile rugs, such as this one with a 0.7-inch height, are ideal for high-traffic areas because they are less likely to trap dirt and debris deep within the fibers. The shorter pile makes vacuuming more efficient and reduces the risk of tripping, making it a functional choice for transitional spaces or rooms where children and pets are active.
