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.

*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.
