Garvee 2x8 Plaid Runner Rug vs Ottomanson Non-Slip Hallway Runner Rug

The Garvee is the softer, warmer pick: a tufted wool-synthetic blend with a plaid look, stain resistance and machine washing, and a 4.9 rating from over 2,500 buyers. The Ottomanson is the tougher, more utilitarian pick: a thin polyester mat with a waterproof TPR rubber back that handles mud, wet boots and outdoor use. Buy the Garvee for a hallway or entry you want to look furnished; buy the Ottomanson for a high-traffic, dirty or damp spot.

• Choose the Garvee if you want a plaid runner that looks like a real rug, feels softer underfoot and can go in the washer.
• Choose the Ottomanson if the runner will take wet shoes, pet messes or outdoor exposure and you want a hose-down mat that stays put.
