The pourlea® children’s rug is a high-quality and versatile rug for children’s rooms. Cleaning is effortless as the rug can be washed in the washing machine, which is a clear advantage over conventional rugs. Its hard-wearing polyester fibers make it particularly suitable for households with children and pets. The versatility of the rug means it can be used not only in living and sleeping areas, but also on patios, balconies or as a companion on camping trips. During the test phase, however, we noticed a few creases caused by the packaging, which detracted from the otherwise good appearance. Despite these negative aspects , the rug fulfilled its promises in terms of ease of care and child-friendliness.

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points
Our practical test of the pourlea® children’s rug confirms some aspects of the manufacturer’s advertising. The ease of care of the rug is remarkable, as it not only proved to be very easy to clean, but also machine washable, which makes cleaning and care much easier. The rug also lived up to expectations visually – it impresses with an elegant and playful look and a pleasant feel, with the beige color exactly matching the product images. In terms of slip resistance , however, the carpet is not ideal. It tends to slip slightly when walked on, which can be annoying for normal domestic use ; it is acceptable if the rug is placed on top of another rug or an anti-slip mat is used. The children’s rug has a wide range of applications – it is suitable for children’s rooms, living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms as well as for outdoor areas.

and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good performance in the lower price segment | 90 points |
| Rating cut | Not rated, as there are still too few customer reviews. | |
| Total | 90 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
