Can this throw blanket potentially be used as an area rug on hardwood flooring? I'm looking for a fox faux area rug for my new apartment and do love the look of this item.

No, it has a soft back, like a soft blanket. You would have to glue or staple it to something else to hold it down.

Its definetely heavy enough, however to prevent slipping I would get a non slip backing for placing in on the floor, this blanket would be beautiful as a rug no doubt, but the edges do stick up about an inch all the way around the border, so the main issue would be tripping, but however you decided to use this it was well worth the purchase, I dont make reviews on a whole lot of things but this blanket has weight to it, gorgeous, sooo warm, I absolutely love, love, love it! :-) (hope this answers a few questions)

Yes, BUT it will move a bit without being anchored down. I think it would look great on hardwood flooring. I have it covering an antique wooden chest and up onto a bay window seat. Sounds strange but looks very nice. I bought it to cover the areas that my dog jumps on and it saves the wood. When the dog first started jumping on the throw it would slip out of place and I was constantly fixing it. I bought some velcro for the part on the window seat and it is staying in place. That is something you would not want to do on your wooden floor. I think, my opinion, you should give it a try because it certainly is a quality throw and I think you definitely would be pleased with the look of it on your floor. You might want to try one of those anti skid pieces to put under it. If it was me I would go for it and make it work!! Even with my dog jumping on it all day long, sleeping on it and eating dog treats it still looks beautiful. I hope I helped you a little.

Just threw it on the floor to see ... in my opinion, it looks like a throw on the floor. It wont stay flat unless no one walks on it. Perhaps if you put a different backing on it suitable for rugs?

Hi, The throw rugs in this brand of faux fur are available on Overstock.com. Hope that helps.

No, it wouldn't be suitable as a rug on hardwood--wouldn't lay flat and it would constantly be tripping people up. Get a good rug pad for hardwood floors (try overstock.com and read reviews. Should be kind of thick and felt like--not the waffle kind), then a Flokati rug would work. Good luck!

The instructions say to use it outside but if the foyer is tile it should be ok. Do not put it on any soft surface or carpet. The rubber backing may melt. Bear in mind this is only a 36" mat but the mat itself will be warm and it may even warm up a couple of inches of the floor around it too.

No. This blanket is very thin. I would not buy it unless you plan to put another blanket in top of it. Not worth the money.

No, the material is like the white shag rugs from the 70's or a stuffed animal's fur. You can pull the material up and I find clumps of it on my daughter's floor from time to time. It's also much smaller and flimsier than I imagined. I wouldn't recommend it.

Yes you can put something in front of it, I use the corner of a rug and its fine. You can also adjust how spring so the door closes hard or soft. Good product.

I suppose it would depend on your climate. I live in the Midwest where spring and fall can be chilly so I use my fleece blanket as a throw and put it on my bed at night. It is amazingly comfy!! In winter, during really chilly times, I use it more as a throw when watching TV or napping -- very snug, cozy and comfortable because it is so light. Using it under your comforter would, I think, make your bed warmer -- if that is what you'd like.

Personally, I'd put another mat or a rug beneath it. It has a decent pad if it's placed on a carpeted surface, but I'd be a little nervous putting it on a hardwood floor. Otherwise, I loved this play yard. :)

I'm thinking that the spray would not cause the crumbling to stop so you would be forced to remove the old backing. If the surface underneath the latex is soft and pliable, then the spray might work well.I know this spray does not work on rugs that initially do not have a rubberized pliable backing, but rather have a hard surface. So, I would suggest you try one Can and experiment with it. Then at least you would know in the future whether to just throw away the rug or get a Can of Performix. This would also depend on what the cost of a new rug is as compared to a Can of this spray.

I have a high pile shag area rug in the playroom. It does roll over it but it's a little harder to maneuver. I'm sure it would work fine on a short pile rug or carpet.

Yes, this is a thick felt like material. The only problem I could see if the rug is not large enough it could slip if on a wood floor.

We have several area rugs for which it works quite well. The only rugs I would avoid would be those with a lot of fringe or 'shag' type carpet. It is most effective on hardwood and tile floors.

I've got 2 of these. One for the 1st floor and one for the 2nd (Yeah, I know - I'm too lazy to carry the thing up and down the stairs). I have hardwood floors throughout and 9 different area/throw rugs scattered about. Haven't had any significant issues. Though if the rug has long tassels, I could see them potentially getting tangled in the brush. Another potential issue is if the rug is unusually deep (like a heavy shag), it might have some trouble making the transition from floor to rug.

Where i have it is on a hardwood floor. However only the heating element works now. The fan went belly-up months after i bought it. I don't see why it wouldn't fit on a rug

It's pretty heavy and it came packaged rolled up. If you decide to return it it would be hard to put back in the box. Personally I wouldn't use it on the floor.

curled up. It uncurls OK but it ends up being a pretty high bump to step over. I'm using a rug instead: J & M Home Fashions Ribbed Runner Utility Mat, 22-Inch by 60-Inch, BrownThis extension cord is very flat and probably would work well under a rug:Fellowes 1-Outlet 3-Prong Heavy Duty Indoor Extension Cord, 15-Feet (99596)

We have all hardwood floors in our house and I always placed this mat over our rug in the living room. It tends to slide around on hardwood floor and doesn't provide a lot of cushion.

I use mine on carpet since we have hardwood throughout and don't want to scratch the floor. Its an area rug but it works just fine. Hope this helps !!!
