I am so excited to finally write this blog post! If you've been following along, you might have seen a series of 5 different blog posts reviewing different washable rugs. I had been wanting to upgrade all my rugs to washable ones because well... kids!! They are perfect for families with children or pets because they can just be thrown in your washing machine and are stain resistant and water repellent. Water just beads off of them! All of the rugs have amazing quality and there truly isn't one that is better than the rest- they each have their own perks!
The 5 washable rugs I reviewed were:
1. The Rug Collective - blog post here | promo code HALEY for 15% off
2. My Magic Carpet- blog post here
3. Tumble Rugs- blog post here | $20 off here or with code HALEY_TMBL20P
4. Real Life Rugs- blog post here
5. Ruggable- blog post here | 15% off here (click to open the new tab if you get an error)
You can find full reviews for each of the rugs by click their individual blog posts above but if you want to read how they compare to each other, keep reading!

The Rug Systems
Some of the rugs come with pads and some don't and I think this is important when picking which brand will work best for you. If you are putting the rug over carpet I don't think this should be a deciding factor but if it is going on hardwood it defiantly should be taken into consideration!
- Real Life Rugs and My Magic Carpet are one pieces systems meaning it doesn't come with a pad to attach to the rug. They both have little grippys on the bottom of the rugs that allow them not to slip around on the floor
- Tumble Rugs and Ruggable are 2 piece systems. The top parts of these systems, the actual rug, feel almost identical to each other.
- Tumble Rugs come with a foam play-mat like pad that you lay and secure the rug on top of. The foam material is like a children's play mat that you put together like a puzzle.
- Ruggable has 2 options for padding- I ordered the original. The top piece attaches to the pad with velcro
- The Rug Collective doesn't come with a pad but they do recommend it. If it is being placed on carpet this rug would be perfect but it does slip a bit if on hardwood because there are no grips on the bottom
- Ruggable and The Rug Collective offer the largest rugs (all the way up to 9x12)
- Tumble Rugs offer up to an 8x10
- Real Life Rugs offers the largest size just under an 8x10 (7'6x9'6)
- My Magic Carper is targeted for smaller spaces so the largest size is a 5x7
1. Ruggable- $199 (with the basic padding), $169 with my discount code
2. Tumble Rugs- $180, with my discount code: $160
3. The Rug Collective - $179, with my discount code: $152
4. My Magic Carpet- $149 [you can buy these on Bed Bath and Beyond and use a 20% off coupon making them about $119
5. Real Life Rugs- $109
Assembly
The easiest rugs to set up were My Magic Carpet, Real Life Rugs, and The Rug Collective- you just have to lay them down because they are all 1 piece systems.
Tumble Rugs took my husband and I about 30 minutes to set up the pad. It is like a giant foam puzzle and you really have to push down to lock the pieces into place.
Ruggable was the hardest to assemble for me. The top of the rug sticks to the velcro pad which makes it really hard to line up. I couldn't get mine to line up but it is still useable. You don't really have the ability to adjust, you have to take the whole thing off and realign. Maybe if 2 people did it then it would be a little easier!
Bigger mats are for the most part utilized in family rooms or lounge areas. Sprinter Rugs are ideally suited for corridors, flights of stairs and entryways. http://rugsource.com/turkish-rugs
ReplyDeleteMany of the looms that tribal weavers use are wood. Wood reacts to heat, cold and dry or moist air. The loom can warp. Hence, the reason for some of the irregularities. How to choose the right rug
ReplyDeleteHow about durability? Rug collective has lots of negative reviews due to falling apart quickly
ReplyDeleteExcellent information, this knowledge is excellent and very important for everyone. I am heartily thankful to you for providing this kind of information. Thanks once again for sharing it. moroccan carpets for sale
ReplyDeleteThis review is devoid of the most important questions when purchasing a washable rug: Which brand is the most durable? Which brand is most stain resistant? Which brand withstands repeated washings? Which ones are easier to wash in terms of bulkiness? For me, this was nothing more than a promotional piece for various brands.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteIt's likely that she hasn't owned the rugs long enough to know yet.
DeleteI was coming to find out durability after one site said not to use a robot vacuum because it can damage edges. One brand says spill proof? Is it really?
DeleteExcellent knowledge, You are providing important knowledge. It is really helpful and factual information for us and everyone to increase knowledge. Continue sharing your data. Thank you. Read more info about antique tribal rugs
ReplyDeletedefinitely not defiantly. but thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou have to know that's a common autocorrect, right? I noticed it too, but I thought I'd try to let her know in a less abrasive and public way. 🤦♀️
DeleteThe delightful article you have posted here. This is a good way to increase our knowledge.Loloi Rugs Continue sharing this kind of articles, Thank you.
ReplyDeleteProof of this can be found in any major museum in the world and is evidenced most thoroughly by the fact that the majority of designs even today, were originated by Persian weavers. Rug Source

ReplyDeleteThe best that you have to do before you reach a compromise with a seller remember to read carefully the instructions of the constructor and the materials that are used to make the rug. Rug Source Charlotte
ReplyDeleteIf you are placing a rug in your Family Room, Great Room, or any large area, using one large area rug might just be what you might need. The only alternative is if in a very large room you might have several distinct seating areas. Get more info
ReplyDeleteWill Tumble rugs stick to the Ruggable floor pad? I already have a ruggable floor pad and I'm thinking about ordering a Tumble cover but I don't know if they will work together.
ReplyDeleteHi! No, they won't they are 2 different systems.
DeleteOnce the size, budget and style of Rug are established, you are ready to start shopping for antique rugs. More important than the dealer you choose to work with is educating yourself on the purchase of rugs beforehand.
ReplyDeleteI have a ruggable rug with the "cushioned" floor pad and we love it. It does take two to roll it out but it sticks down so well. We've washed it a few times and it's in the kitchen and still looks new. The cushioned pad is key. I read this article because the tumble rugs are a lot cheaper than ruggable (with the thicker pad) but it looks like the pad system could be jenky (with tumble), and how does the cover stick to the pad?
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Tumble website (video & info) the cover has corner pockets and one tucks the pad into each of these corners. My understanding is that the pad holds the cover only at these corners.(Presumably this is why they don't offer round rugs.) The pad doesn't have ruggable's velcro style top surface. (On ruggable the corners of larger rugs have something on the underside that looks like pockets, but aren't (they are to help weigh down the cover's corners.)
ReplyDeleteCaveat: I don't have either of these rugs and have just been trying to study them (carefully reading the vendor's websites, reading reviews, and watching videos) in the hopes of making the "right" decision :-)
Having a hard time with the $20 off link for tumble. Any insight?
ReplyDeleteThe true test is how they wash. I've heard many negative reviews about Ruggable because the edges curl up and ripple after washing. People have said Tumble is far superior in that regard and I never heard about the other brands until reading your blog.
ReplyDeleteMy ruggables are new as of this year but they look new after washing and I’m not having any raised edges.
DeleteDo you know if the Ruggable or Tumble is lighter weight for putting in washing machine?
ReplyDeleteTumble!
DeleteHow are they when vacuuming? Do they vacuum with ease?
