Is this rug soft enough for a living room?

Yes. The hand-tufted wool pile is dense and cushion-soft, which is why owners describe it as comfortable underfoot.

Does the wool rug shed?

Wool rugs commonly shed loose fibers at first. Owners report shedding that eases with regular vacuuming.

What size is this rug?

It is a 5' x 8' rectangle, a common size for a small living room, dining table or large bedroom.

How should I clean it?

Vacuum without a beater bar and blot spills promptly. For deeper cleaning, use a wool-safe method or professional rug cleaning.

Is it good for high-traffic areas?

The dense wool and cotton backing are built to hold up in busier rooms, though wool shows wear in entryways with heavy foot traffic.

Our take on the Safavieh Heritage York Oriental Wool Area Rug

The Safavieh Heritage York is a hand-tufted area rug in 100% pure wool with a cotton backing, sized 5' x 8' and finished in a traditional red oriental pattern. The dense wool pile gives it a cushion-soft feel and the classic medallion design suits living rooms, dining rooms and other high-traffic spaces. Against machine-made synthetic rugs it offers real wool and hand-tufted construction, though it sheds and needs careful cleaning. Owners rate it well overall, praising its look and plushness while noting shedding and color variation.
