Rug Size Guides
Rugs naturally tend to flatten after facing heavy foot traffic or years of sitting still. That is why it’s necessary to re-fluff a rug to bring life back into its fibers and restore its comfort. Not only that, but fluffing the rug can dramatically change the rug’s appearance and create the impression of a new rug.
The most common reason rugs flatten is because of heavy foot traffic or resting beneath heavy furniture. If the rug constantly faces these pressures and traffic, then the fibers will naturally be more compressed on these areas and lose their comfortable texture. Rotating the rug is one way to ensure that traffic is distributed over multiple areas of the rug instead of just one, but even with regular rotation, it is important to treat these flattened areas with regular fluffing.

The best way to treat flattened rugs is to prevent flattening from ever happening. With that in mind, there are some standard ways of preventing rugs from flattening and keeping your rug fluffy and comfortable.
Regular Rotation: The first method is regularly rotating your rug. This is especially important in rooms with high traffic. When you regularly rotate your rug, you distribute the foot traffic and weight of the furniture more equally across the entire rug and ensure that no singular part of the rug is taking the brunt of the weight/foot traffic.
Use of Rug Pads: Rug pads are a practical addition to any rug. Not only do they provide extra grip strength to keep the rug in place, but their padding often helps distribute weight and traffic over a wider area. This cushioning prevents excessive compression of the rug and helps keep the fibers softer, fluffier, and less matted.
Gentle Cleaning: Regular cleaning is another way to prevent rug flattening. Many rugs do not take kindly to excessive moisture, so when spills and stains are treated immediately, you prevent that moisture from damaging the rug’s fibers. Vacuuming and light brushing will also keep your rug cleaner and naturally fluff the rug’s threads before they become too matted or uncomfortable.
Even though you may be discouraged to see your rug losing its natural fluffiness and texture, you don’t need to think about immediately replacing the rug. Instead, treat matted area rugs with intentional vacuuming, brushing, and general cleaning. Take preemptive steps to care for your rug with this regular cleaning and a rug pad to keep your rug attractive and comfortable. With even the simplest care, you can easily extend your rug’s life and comfort.
