Our rugs have been tested for harmful chemicals such as PFCs (including PFOA and PFOS, which are commonly found in waterproof coatings), VOCs, Lead, Phthalates, Formaldehyde, Formamide, and Dichloromethane (commonly found in other washable rugs).

Our rug pads are latex-free and contain thermoplastic resin, making them safe for use on most LVP, Laminate, and hardwood floors.

Shipping in a box not only saves you money but it offers the best customer experience: you can easily move them, unpack them, and even repack them should you ever need to move.
Folding the rugs will not damage them although it may temporarily crease them The fibers will eventually resume their position within a few days of unfolding.

The spillproof effect will begin to diminish after washing, however this will vary based on multiple factors (e.g., detergent, wash cycle, humidity etc.) The spillproof coating is meant to serve as a "first line of defense", however the rug can always be washed to remove spills and stains.

Place each pad piece in its intended spot. Refer to the diagrams of our 8x10’ and 5x7’ Rug Pads below (after Step #6).
Connect each piece by aligning the interlocking teeth and gently patting them down unit the teeth are flush. Apply a little force if necessary.
Place the rug onto the pad and tuck each corner of the pad into the pockets on the underside of the rug.
Center the rug on the pad and smooth out any wrinkles. Any creases should relex within a week. If neccessary, iron out the creases on the lowest setting. Note: The rug should be larger then the pad and will shrink slighty after washing.
After the rug is smoothed out and before the furniture is placed on the rug, gently pull the rug tight and apply the Corner Grippers. See instructions on the Corner Gripper pack for additional details.
8x10’ Rug Pad
5x7’ Rug Pad
The Tumble Rug stays in place due to two key innovations: 1) our Rug Pad has a grippy, rubberized top which helps to keep the rug from slipping around 2) our Rug has pockets on the underside of each corner. The Rug Pad tucks into these corner pockets to keep the rug in place.
Our patent-pending technology is the first of its kind. The Tumble Rug Pad tucks directly into corner pockets on the underside of the Rug, ensuring that the Rug lays flat on the ground and remains in place. Furthermore, the corner pockets prevent the corners of the Rug from curling.
