Editor's Notes
June 16, 2020:
While faux fur rugs require the same observant caution you would practice with any area rug, which primarily entails not injuring yourself by tripping on them, many of the options in this particular category lack substantial grip and can lead to dangerous slips. As such, we strongly suggest also getting a high-traction rug pad to place under your purchase if it has a soft backing.
Moving forward in the same vein, we know for certain that the VanillaChocolate Plush Mat and Ashler Ultra Fluffy both lack significant traction. The good news is, models that don’t have any grip tend to also make great fur throws that you can place on chairs and sofas to add soft and colorful accents to any room.
Although we’d love to tell you all of these options are free of animal-based materials, that just isn’t the case, as both the Lochas Ultra Soft and Carvapet Luxury have suede bottoms. To be sure, these models still have fake fur on top, as all options on this list necessarily must, so no worries there. That being said, we do have a list dedicated to actual sheepskin rugs if that’s what you’re looking for.
