Medrick Black 8' x 10' Rug

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile size for anchoring a standard living room layout. A professional design rule of thumb is to ensure the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug, which helps unify the seating area and prevents the furniture from looking "afloat." This specific size is also ideal for placing beneath a queen-sized bed, where it should extend about 18 to 24 inches on either side to provide a soft landing for your feet.

This rug is highly recommended for families with pets and kids. The combination of a low pile and a tight polyester weave makes it difficult for pet claws to snag the fabric. Additionally, because pet hair and crumbs tend to sit on top of the thin pile rather than becoming embedded deep in the fibers, daily cleanup with a vacuum is significantly easier than with a traditional shag or high-pile rug.

For regular upkeep, we recommend vacuuming the rug or shaking it out to remove dust and debris. It is crucial to use a straight suction vacuum only, as beater bars can damage the ultra-thin pile. For spills, our care guide suggests spot cleaning promptly with water. Since this rug is made of 100% polyester, it is naturally more resistant to moisture and staining than natural fibers, making it a highly durable choice for busy households.

This rug is specifically engineered for versatility, featuring UV stabilization that protects the floral pattern from fading under sun exposure. This makes it a perfect fit for sun-drenched rooms or covered outdoor spaces like porches and balconies. In humid or coastal climates, the synthetic polyester fibers offer the added benefit of being resistant to mold and mildew compared to natural materials like wool or jute.

You do not need a separate rug pad for this item. This rug comes equipped with an integrated non-skid backing, which is a vital safety feature that keeps the rug securely in place on smooth surfaces like hardwood, tile, or laminate. This built-in layer also helps the rug retain its rectangular shape over time, providing both stability and floor protection.

Yes, this rug is an excellent choice for high-traffic zones. The ultra-soft yet ultra-thin pile (approximately 0.25" height) is designed to resist crushing and matting, which are common issues in busy areas. Furthermore, the 100% polyester construction is built for resilience, providing a durable surface that can withstand the daily wear and tear of an active home.
