Which is better for a patio or deck?

The Nourison Positano. It is rated for indoor/outdoor use and can be hosed off and air dried. The Garland Medallion is indoor only.

Which works better in a high-traffic living room?

The Garland Medallion. It is built for high-traffic areas and has a non-slip latex backing. The Nourison is rated for moderate traffic and has no non-slip backing.

Is the Nourison worth the savings over the Garland?

It is $4.84 cheaper at the latest prices ($49.00 at Walmart versus $53.84 at eBay, both as of November 8, 2026). The savings matter less than the use: pick the Nourison for outdoor or layered use, the Garland for a large indoor room.

Both are polypropylene and OEKO-TEX certified. The Garland's cut-and-loop pile and high-traffic rating suit busy indoor rooms, while the Nourison's flatweave is easier to clean but rated for moderate traffic.

Can either go in a kitchen?

The Nourison can; it is listed for kitchen and dining use. The Garland is indoor only and spot clean only, so it is a poorer fit for spills.

For the Nourison, yes on smooth floors, since it has no non-slip backing. The Garland has a latex non-slip backing, so a pad is optional.
