Garland Rug Classic Berber Square Rug vs Safavieh Vermont Chelsea Striped Area Rug

Both are 12-foot square, indoor, textured rugs, but they are built differently. The Garland Rug Classic Berber is machine-made polypropylene with a non-slip latex backing and a stain-resistant finish, so it suits high-traffic rooms and hard floors where you want the rug to stay put. The Safavieh Vermont is hand woven with a raised loop pile and a softer hand, which owners tend to prefer for comfort underfoot in a living room or bedroom. Pick Garland for durability and grip; pick Safavieh for a softer, more decorative feel.

• Choose the Garland Rug Classic Berber if you need a large, hard-wearing rug for a busy room on a hard floor and want a backing that keeps it from sliding.
• Choose the Safavieh Vermont if you want a softer, hand-woven rug with a raised loop texture and a striped look for a calmer room.
