I've fallen in love with this "Ruggable" design... I'm very tempted to buy because the design is so pretty, but reticent due to a few mixed reviews an... More on mumsnet.com

For people still on the fence, I HATE MY RUGGABLES. Love the pattern/colors and that’s the only reason I still have it. This is what it does every time I vacuum (yes I adjust the suction setting and this is on the lowest). Also not shown is the curling up on one of the edges. Trying to get this turd to lay flat and wrinkle free takes an act of god. More on reddit.com

The tumble rug does not adhere to the ruggable pad unfortunately. I have both and tried to use the ruggable pad with the tumble rug because to save my life, I cannot get the tumble rug to stick to its own pad. The pad will stick to the floor using the sticky triangle things they provide, but the rug slips all over top of the padding as the pockets don’t fit the edges of the pad correctly. Did you experience this too? More on reddit.com

I’m sure you’ve already made up your mind since this post was a year ago, but for anyone else wondering: we have 3 Tumble rugs (a 7 ft runner, 10 ft runner, and 9x12 rug). The 9x12 is used in the kids’ play/school room and they constantly drop stuff or color on it. We have had bottles of paint (washable kids’ paint) and Elmer’s glue dropped on it, as well as kids and dogs poop, pee, and throw up on it, all which has washed out like a charm. I’ve washed it 6-7 times and it always comes out looking fantastic. This rug is my absolute favorite, and I’m thinking about updating our living room rug with a Tumble the same size. We have no problems with the rug moving (but it’s huge so that helps), it fits nicely in our washer, and the it’s been amazing. Sometimes if I forget to click my vacuum to “high pile” it does pull on the rug especially on the edges, but I can still vacuum it and if your vacuum has that setting it works great. The two runners are great too, but we do have a bit more problem with them moving around. They’re in high traffic areas, the smaller one being in an area that is 1/2 carpet 1/2 tile, where kids and dogs are running around a corner causing the rug to slip around more. I honestly think this would happen to any rug though, so it doesn’t bother us. The runners get washed bi-weekly (I can’t even count how many times total) and have held up amazingly and always come out looking vibrant and clean. The dogs love to lay in one spot on the rug (which is why that rug is there as our carpet just can’t handle it) and it goes into the wash dirty as hell, and comes out as clean as I bought it. One of our dogs also does this thing where she nervously scratches the rug where she lays, and we’ve never had a problem with the fibers pulling or anything. She has destroyed multiple dog beds and a sectioning of couch, but that rug holds up to it just fine. It has saved our carpet in that one area from needing immediate replacement. I do not have a Ruggable as in researching before purchasing I thought I’d prefer the rug corners slipping over the rug pad with Tumble, versus lining up the velcro with Ruggable, but that is just my personal preference. Tumble also had a better price, at least at the time. More on reddit.com
