Is the Malta rug soft enough for a living room?

It is a flatweave, so it feels firm rather than plush. Most owners use it in high-traffic areas and add a pad if they want more cushion.

Can it go over floor heating?

Yes, it is rated safe for floor heating. The thin flatweave lets heat pass through better than a thick pile.

Vacuum regularly on a low setting with the beater bar off. Wool resists stains, but blot spills promptly rather than rubbing.

Does it need a rug pad?

A pad is recommended on smooth floors to stop sliding and add a little cushioning. It also helps protect the weave.

Is it good for homes with pets and kids?

Yes. Wool is naturally stain resistant and the low pile is easy to vacuum, which suits busy households.

What sizes does it come in?

Dash & Albert makes the Malta in several standard rectangular sizes, from runners up to large room sizes. Check the size before ordering for your space.
