Some of the best area rugs you will find for your home are the new shag designs on the market along with the traditional thick Persian carpet products which are always popular. Why is it that the shag rug option gives such a plush result? A good quality shag makes use of the best, thickest cotton or wool with the sole aim of creating a product that will provide the most comfort and softness to the end user. They aren’t intended specifically for use in areas where they are going to see a huge number of people trampling over them on a daily basis. They are more of a destination rug which you seek out to relax on with a glass of wine.
Whether you use shag which is cotton or wool, you are going to find that its thicker, softer, and warmer than the other options in the market.
Something which you might not of heard of and which sounds a little like it defeats the purpose of the shag are the synthetic products you can now find in the shops. The reality though is that these can be just as acceptable as the other options, and they will cost you less too.
If you want to go with something a little more traditional then Persian rugs might be more up your street and there are very comfy versions of these too. Go for the thick pile Tabriz rather than the coarser woolen weaves. You’ll also want to stay away from Karastan if you are specifically looking for something that is going to be nice and cosy to snuggle up on. If you like the look of Tabriz then you should give Mahal rugs a try and they have a similar style but have a much more soft and luxurious feel to them. Expect to pay about $5-$10 per square foot for these.
