Cozydesg Soft Fluffy Shag Area Rug vs Gaomon Easy Jute Area Rug 6 x 9

Buy the Cozydesg if you want a soft, shaggy rug underfoot in a bedroom or dorm; buy the Gaomon if you want a low-pile, stain-resistant rug for a busy living room or entryway. The Cozydesg wins on plushness and has a rubber non-slip backing, but shag traps crumbs and its synthetic pile mats down over time. The Gaomon's flat woven jute-look surface wipes clean and holds up to foot traffic, though it feels rougher and its checkered brown pattern is a stronger style statement. Both are synthetic and washable; owners of shag rugs like the Cozydesg report shedding and flattening, while flat-weave owners value the easier upkeep.

• Choose the Cozydesg if you want a fluffy, cozy rug for a bedroom, dorm or bedside spot and prefer a solid black look.
• Choose the Gaomon if you need a durable, stain-resistant rug for a high-traffic room and like a checkered brown pattern.
