Wool vs Polypropylene Rugs

Wool and polypropylene are different rug materials with different characteristics. The best option depends on your priorities, room and budget.

Wool rugs

Wool is a natural fibre valued for its feel, warmth and traditional rug-making applications. Wool rugs can be a strong choice when natural materials and a premium feel are priorities.

Polypropylene rugs

Polypropylene is a synthetic fibre widely used for practical everyday rugs. It is available in many colours and patterns and can be a useful choice for busy rooms.

Which should you choose?

Choose based on the room, desired feel, maintenance requirements and budget. Always follow the individual product's care instructions rather than assuming all rugs of a material can be cleaned the same way.
