Is this rug soft enough for a bedroom?

It is a low-pile polyester rug, so it is firm rather than plush. It works in a bedroom, but a rug pad adds comfort if you walk on it barefoot.

Can it go in a bathroom or kitchen?

It is made for indoor use and polyester handles occasional damp mopping, but it is not an outdoor or wet-room rug. Keep it out of standing water.

A 5 x 7 ft rug covers the lower part of a queen bed and leaves floor on each side. For full coverage under the bed, a larger size works better.

Roll it pile-side out for a day or two, then lay it flat with a rug pad underneath. Weights on the corners help in the first week.

Polyester costs less, resists stains and fading, and cleans easily. Wool feels softer and denser but needs more careful cleaning.

A pad is recommended on hardwood or tile. It stops sliding, adds cushioning and helps the scalloped edges lie flat.
