No PVC · Low-VOC

Wool, cotton, and jute rugs that are honest about their backings — no vinyl, no mystery foam.

A rug's dirty secret is on the bottom: cheap ones wear a PVC or foam backing that quietly off-gasses right where kids do most of their living. Every rug here is wool, cotton, or jute with a backing the maker names out loud. Softer underfoot, nothing sketchy underneath — pick one and flip it over with confidence.
