Polyester Rugs
Polyester is the fibre behind most of the softest rugs we sell and most of the ones that go in the washing machine. It takes dye deeply, so printed and faded vintage designs look sharp, and it can be spun fine and long for shag pile. This collection has over 100 rugs where polyester is the main fibre or a large part of the blend. The exact content is listed on every product page.
What polyester does well
It is soft. The Heaven 800 shag is 100% polyester with a 35mm pile, and Marble 700 is the same fibre at 31mm. It prints well, which is why the machine washable Peri and Soho ranges are 100% polyester: Peri is an 8mm printed rug with an anti-slip backing that goes through a cold machine wash, and Soho is printed on a cotton and TPR backing so it washes too. It also takes a shrink treatment, where some yarns are shrunk after weaving so the pattern stands up in relief. Aleyna, the Pierre Cardin Paris designs and Greta all use it.
The trade off is wear. Polyester crushes under heavy furniture legs more readily than polypropylene or wool, so for a hallway or under a dining table pick a low pile design like Vintage 700 at 6mm, or a blend such as Marmaris (70% polypropylene heatset, 30% polyester).

Polyester, polypropylene or acrylic
Polypropylene is the most stain resistant and the most resilient underfoot, so it dominates our large living room rugs. Acrylic feels closest to wool and is used in the top Pierre Cardin ranges; see acrylic rugs. Polyester sits between them on price and wins on softness and colour. If the rug will be washed, sat on or bought for a child's room, it is usually the right answer.
Care and delivery
Vacuum shag on suction only. Machine washable ranges go in on a cold cycle and dry flat. Blot spills rather than rubbing. Free delivery anywhere in Australia, 21-day returns, and most of these ranges are on the floor at our Auburn showroom.
