Marna Gray 7'9 x 9'9 Rug

We highly recommend a quality rug pad to serve as a protective buffer between the rug's cotton backing and your flooring. A pad prevents the rug from shifting or bunching—which can cause premature wear on the backing—and provides additional cushioning underfoot. Using a pad not only ensures the safety of your household by preventing slips but also significantly extends the overall lifespan of your rug.

Wool is a premium natural fiber celebrated for its inherent resilience and longevity. Unlike many synthetic fibers that can flatten or lose their shape over time, wool has a natural elasticity that allows it to "bounce back" from the weight of furniture and heavy foot traffic. Furthermore, wool fibers contain a light natural coating that provides built-in soil resistance, making it a high-performance choice that maintains its luster for years.

In an apartment setting with hard-surface flooring, a large 7'9" x 9'9" wool rug acts as an effective acoustic insulator, helping to muffle footsteps and absorb ambient noise. Beyond sound dampening, the 100% wool construction provides a naturally warm and soft landing, adding a layer of contemporary opulence and cozy insulation that enhances the comfort of smaller living spaces.

Yes, wool is one of the most durable materials available for busy households. This rug features a hand-tufted construction with a sturdy cotton backing, providing a stable foundation that resists sliding and helps the rug retain its shape. The natural durability of wool combined with a dense tufted pile makes it exceptionally well-suited for anchoring a main seating area or a transitional hallway.

It is common for high-quality, hand-tufted wool rugs to experience some minor shedding when first placed in a home. This is a natural characteristic of the fiber and the tufting process. Regular vacuuming with a suction-only attachment will typically manage this effectively during the first few months, after which the shedding will naturally subside as the fibers settle.

To preserve the integrity of the hand-tufted fibers, our care experts recommend vacuuming regularly using only the suction setting; do not use a beater bar, as aggressive brushes can pull at the yarn and cause excessive shedding. For liquid spills, immediate action is essential—blot the area with a clean, dry sponge or cloth without rubbing. To ensure a deep, safe clean that protects the natural fibers, professional cleaning is recommended as needed.
