Is this rug soft enough for a bedroom?

It is a low-pile polyester runner, so it is firm rather than plush. It works in bedrooms but feels better with a pad underneath.

Can it really go in a washing machine?

Loloi lists it as machine washable, but an 11'6" runner needs a large commercial machine. Spot cleaning is more practical for most homes.

Yes on hard floors. The backing is thin and reviewers say it slides without a pad; a pad also adds cushioning.

Yes. The tight polyester weave resists snags and cleans up well, which is why it is marketed as pet friendly.

No. It is rated for indoor use only.

It is lighter, washable and easier to clean than wool, but wool feels softer and more substantial underfoot.
