Washable rugs have revolutionized modern home décor, blending style with practicality for today's busy households. Not only do they come with intricate patterns and motifs, but they also make cleaning and housekeeping in general much more convenient, especially for households with young children and pets. In this article, we will compare washable rugs from three leading brands—FlexiSpot, Ruggable, and Tumble—by examining their features, benefits, and pricing.
Overview
FlexiSpot Washable Rugs
FlexiSpot's washable rugs are meticulously designed to meet modern household needs. The FlexiSpot two-piece, non-slip rugs are comprised of a rug pad and a rug cover, which are secured by rug grippers to keep the rug in place. Thanks to the Chenille fabric surface and EVA/PVC backing, these rugs not only feel soft and comfortable under your feet, but they are also durable and resistant to wear and tear.
To make cleaning easier, the rugs are machine-washable and safe for vacuuming. They also feature a low-pile design that helps you spot dirt and debris instantly, making clean-up hassle-free. Plus, all rugs are certified by OEKO-TEX Standard 100, so they contain no harmful substances and are safe for children and pets. FlexiSpot also caters to various spaces and aesthetic preferences. With seven size options available, including popular choices like 8'x10' and runner rugs, there is certainly something for everyone.
Ruggable
Ruggable is well-known for its two-piece rugs, which boast a removable and washable top layer paired with a non-slip pad. The Cling Effect™ technology ensures the underside of the rug cover clings to the rug pad and stays in place. In addition, the cover can also be detached and reattached to the rug pad without losing its grip to make washing convenient. Ruggable rugs use a Velcro-like backing on their non-slip pads to prevent movement, although assembly can be more time-consuming since you need to align the cover with the pad.
Like FlexiSpot, its rugs are not just machine-washable but also pet- and kid-friendly. Furthermore, Ruggable has a vast catalog of patterns and colors to suit diverse tastes.
Tumble
Tumble's washable rugs emphasize practicality and affordability. Just like many of its competitors, Tumble rugs are fully machine-washable and come with a cushioned, non-slip pad for optimal support. Plus, the rug cover has corner pockets on its underside for you to tuck the rug pad into and hold everything in place.
Moreover, Tumble's rugs boast a spill-proof surface that causes liquids to bead up for easy cleaning. The rug designs focus on neutral tones and classic patterns, and in terms of pricing, the rugs are positioned at a mid-tier price point, making them affordable options for many households.
Feature Comparison
Design Variety
The rugs by FlexiSpot, Ruggable, and Tumble feature beautiful and eye-catching motifs and patterns. FlexiSpot offers several stylish rug options with durable Chenille fabric that compliments various interiors, whereas Tumble focuses on simple designs and caters to households seeking a minimalist look. Both of these brands have a standard selection of rug sizes like 9'x12' and 6'×9', and this also includes runner rugs that measure 2.5'x7' and 2.5'×10'. Therefore, whether you intend to spruce up your living room or add a splash of color to your hallway, these rugs are sure to fit multiple spaces in your home. Ruggable, however, is the leader in terms of design options with over 2000 designs and more rug sizes to choose from, making it ideal for those prioritizing aesthetic variety. It even offers round rugs, too!
Safety
Safety is an important feature of washable rugs, so let's take a look at the safety quality of the rugs from all three brands. FlexiSpot's dual non-slip rug design – comprised of rug grippers and an anti-slip backing – keeps the rugs securely in place and reduces hazards like curling and bumps. Moreover, our OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification ensures that no harmful substances are present in our rugs, making them a safe choice for any household and especially ideal for families with children or pets.
Meanwhile, Ruggable uses a Velcro-like backing for their rugs, which can require more effort when setting up the rug and removing the rug cover from the pad. With regards to rug materials, Ruggable is committed to providing safe products to humans, and its rug covers and rug pads are tested to meet regulatory health and safety standards.
Tumble's rugs rely on corner pockets on the underside of the rug cover, resulting in less overall grip. Like FlexiSpot, Tumble's rugs are also certified by OEKO-TEX Standard 100. Furthermore, they are tested per US safety standards and California's Prop 65, making them safe from toxic substances that could potentially harm your pets or children.
Ease of Vacuuming
Our rugs are not just washable but vacuum-friendly too! Some users have remarked that vacuuming rugs from Ruggable and Tumble results in wrinkling. Moreover, dust and debris cannot be removed properly. However, this is not the case with FlexiSpot’s rugs. With a low-pile design, you can easily vacuum the rugs while keeping the surface smooth and clean. We would also recommend vacuuming the rug on a low suction mode to prevent damaging its surface and keep it smooth and wrinkle-free.
Durability
Durability is another important factor when choosing a rug for your home. Some users have had complaints about the quality of Ruggable and Tumble's rugs, where the rugs tend to shrink after washing. Additionally, the colors of the rugs easily fade after washing. In contrast, FlexiSpot's washable rugs stand out for their long-lasting quality. After washing, they do not shrink or get wrinkled easily, and their colors do not fade, either, making these rugs a great choice for every household.
Overall Convenience

With an easy-to-detach rug cover, FlexiSpot's washable rugs make cleaning effortless. Unlike more complicated Velcro or corner pocket designs, these rugs save time and energy. You can simply detach the rug cover from the non-slip rug pad and pop it into the washing machine.
Both Ruggable and Tumble's rugs are made of spill-proof materials and are easy to clean. However, it can be a bit cumbersome to remove the rug covers due to the designs of both brands rugs. As Ruggable utilizes a Velcro-like backing on its rug pad, it can be harder to detach the rug cover. Moreover, you will need to align the rug cover to the pad when reattaching it. For Tumble, you will need to insert each corner of the rug pad into the corner pockets on the underside of the rug, which is not as straightforward as FlexiSpot's rug design of securing the rug cover with rug grippers.
