The Habitat Softie Cream Short Pile Rug is currently available at Argos for £27.50, down from £55, marking a 50% discount. This plush rug is designed to add warmth, comfort, and a soft feel underfoot to bedrooms and living spaces.
Product Details and Design
Finished in a neutral cream shade, the rug complements a wide range of décor styles, from contemporary interiors to more traditional settings. Measuring 170cm by 120cm, it offers generous coverage, making it suitable for placing beside a bed, beneath a coffee table, or within a seating area.
According to Argos, the rug features a short plush pile and a faux fur design intended to create a soft, luxurious feel underfoot. The cream colour blends easily into existing colour schemes, while the synthetic fibres are designed to retain their softness and appearance with regular use.
Practical Features and Maintenance
The short pile construction offers comfort while remaining practical for everyday living. Argos says the rug's fibres bounce back after use to help maintain its plush look, and the surface can be spot cleaned when needed.
One satisfied customer wrote: "This is so soft and lovely texture. This is fabulous if you have neurodivergent children who have sensory needs. This has been an absolute godsend for my son's room." Another happy owner said: "Bought this a week ago and am so happy. It's so soft and great quality. I got it for half price but would have paid full price because it's worth it. Highly recommend this rug."
Customer Feedback and Alternatives
Not every review was entirely positive. One buyer commented: "Lovely soft rug, very slippery to walk on though, like walking on ice. There was also a slight mark on the rug." Someone else explained: "Bought this rug but once received found it far too thin - more like a thick cloth than a rug. It's a shame because the texture is very nice and soft to the touch."
Those considering alternatives may want to look at the Light Natural Florence Border Wool Rug, currently available from Next, with prices ranging from £80 to £370 depending on size. Another option is the Marlo Rug, available from Dunelm, with prices ranging from £29 to £199. One reviewer praised the Florence rug, saying: "Beautiful quality rug with the most desirable softness you could ever imagine! I wish my carpet was this soft. Great size and quality is good too, albeit a little thin."
