I have two Ruggables. I’ve had zero problem with edges curling. I’m just guessing, but folks who are having trouble with curling edges may be using higher dryer heat because they do take a while to dry. I dry mine on low heat, and they are completely flat. These rugs are a dream for anyone who has pets. I have four big dogs, and both rugs get a lot of traffic. They do not slide, they’re easy to vacuum, they get very clean in the wash, and they’re durable. I have no fraying or any signs of wear, and I’ve washed many times. Hope this helps.

Thank you! I had gotten really serious about getting a ruggable, and the curling would be downright dangerous for my handicapped husband. Your video probably saved us from frustration and injury. Thank you for your honesty!

I have three ruggables. (2) 8x10 and (1). 10’ runner. Everything you outlined is EXACTLY how I feel. Spot on!! Thanks for making this for people.

The curling has really been improved. I have one from a couple years ago and one from this year and it’s been improved a lot. For us with kids and pets they are well worth it

This is the most honest review from anyone I’ve seen yet. I own 2 Ruggable rugs and the curling is a HUGE issue! They are beautiful no doubt but then they start curling after the first wash! I emailed and asked them about the curling and what to do and never got a response. This company could do so much better. How hard would it be to create a heavy border that can be attached underneath the rug edge via removable snaps? Someone in engineering needs to look into that. I won’t be purchasing anything else from ruggable and that’s sad because their designs are kick ass.

Thank you for your honesty, I am 65 years old, handicap, can’t afford a fall, might break a bone.

I cannot thank you enough for your honest review. So many Youtubers now are doing paid promotions. Or, are sent free product without promise of a positve review, yet that situation creates pressure for one.
Thank you so much for being truthful. It really is refreshing

We should all pay this girl for saving us a ton of money.

Great review! Almost 17 minutes and no fluff! The creasing is a huge no for me because my father is on crutches..wouldn't have known that with other reviews!

Oh man, I was looking at these rugs. The curling up is a deal killer for me. I just can't stand that.

I've had my Ruggable rugs for over a year. I love them. When I saw the issue with the curling up edge I used some simple rug tape to hold down the edges & it works great! The biggest 'con' for me is that I'm a 66 year old senior living alone. Moving furniture to wash them and laying back down again after they are clean is a big challenge for me. I have no family in my area to assist so it's particularly difficult to manage the 8x10 size by myself. It's an all day job for me.

[chaznonya]

Thank you for an honest review. I've been shopping them for while but you are the first one to address the curling. Unfortunately that's a deal breaker for me, I trip on a flat surface enough lol. Better to know that now than to own $400 of regret.

I pass my steamer over them and then the curl

Every now and then I use a super light double sided sticky tape to keep the edges down! My real Persians so it too, especially after washing! I leave mine in the sun for a day and the heat relaxes the fabric as well, just works for me....

I have to say, I love my ruggable rugs! I have a runner on my hardwood and an 8x10 on carpet in my living room. From they day I ordered to the day it was delivered was 2 weeks. I haven’t had any curling and wash mine about once a month with having 3 dogs and a toddler. However, the return fee does suck. I ordered one and decided I didn’t like the pattern. I knew I couldn’t cancel it but I figured I could return it. I never even cut the tape off the box and they still wanted $30+ to ship it back and charged me a restocking fee...when it wasn’t even opened. So I decided to just post it on social media and it sold right away. People don’t like the wait time for shipping so posting a brand new rug for someone to get same day is a great solution to the shipping fee. I would buy these a million times over! They also just came out with a more plush under pad for the rug to give it that plush, squishy feel without having to deal with having a thick high pile rug. Worth the money in my opinion!

Thank you so much for this honest real review. The curling is exactly exactly what I was afraid of.
I am going to subscribe because honest reviews from homeowners are EXACTLY what I look to for decision making.

Thanks so much for this review. With an elderly person in our home having the curling issue could really present a safety issue.

I recently received my Ruggable for my dinning room which is rarely used. I chose the rug for the the color and design. I didn’t want a plush rug under the dining room table and don’t plan on washing it unless absolutely necessary because of the curling issue. So far I love it. After comparing the prices of rugs at furniture stores Ruggable is very affordable. Thanks for your review! Your dogs are too cute!

[astridrobi]

Thank you for this. We are remodeling our home office/craft room and I was just about to pull the trigger on an 8x10 as we have big dogs, one of whom is geriatric. HOWEVER, my 86 year old mom also lives with us and uses a walker, so the curling issue will definitely be a big tripping/falling hazard. I so appreciate your candor!

[amywilliams]

I just received my Ruggable Rug. I received it in less than a week after ordering. They do have an upgraded rug pad that makes your rug plush. That is an upgrade so it’s extra but I ordered the rug with the standard pad because I put it in my dining room and needed my chairs to be able to slide easily. So the standard is included in the rug price. That’s all I can think of at the moment to help out with the cons. I love mine!! I ordered two at the same time and like I said above I did receive mine in less than a week. 🥰
