Enter the washable rug. If you have kids, rugs that can be cleaned by popping them in the washing machine are a genius idea. Genius, we tell you!
Because stains and spills are inevitable in a family home, washable rugs allow you and your kids (and your pet!) to eat, play, drink and have fun without stressing about mess.
You feel calmer already, right?
What makes washable rugs different to normal rugs
Washable rugs are typically constructed from polyester or other synthetic fibres, and have a lightweight, flexible design that allows them to be lifted and loaded into a washing machine.
The clever floor coverings come in a variety of styles and sizes to match your home’s decor. So whether you’re looking for a rug for your living room, nursery or playroom, you’ll be able to find the one that ticks all your boxes.

Product review: The washable rug that’s ready for real family life
What do you love about your Edmund Washable rug from Cozey?
I love that it looks like a proper, plush rug but is actually made for family life. With two kids, I know spills and messes are going to happen, so having a rug I can actually wash is a huge win.
Was it easy to put together?
Really easy. The base pieces fit together like a puzzle and the top layer goes on quickly. Once it’s down, it feels really soft and comfy underfoot.
What’s your favourite feature?
Definitely being able to take the top layer off and put it in the washing machine. No stressing over every little spill or muddy footprint.
Would you recommend it to other parents?
Yes, it’s soft, practical and still looks lovely in our living room. Anything that makes family life a little easier gets my vote.
