Product Insights
This Simons Maison rug delivers a true herringbone pattern that visually widens narrow rooms, using wool's natural stain, water, and flame resistance along with lanolin's dirt repellence. At $198, it offers 6.7× more coverage than handwoven alternatives, but its 70/30 wool-cotton glued-back construction and plush pile require cool-water pH-neutral cleaning, professional washing every 2–5 years, and rotation for a 50-year lifespan—making it best for low-traffic areas despite natural rebound from indentations.
Verified claims
- Herringbone design
- True herringbone pattern made of alternating perpendicular stripes, not a chevron zigzag, with a centuries-long design lineage from Roman road foundations to Savile Row suiting.
- Spatial effect
- The directional zigzag makes narrow rooms appear wider.
- Pattern
- Wool fibers keep the herringbone texture crisp for decades under foot traffic.
- Stain and water resistance
- Wool provides natural stain, water, and flame resistance.
- Sensory quality
- Soft underfoot with natural tonal variation that adds visual depth.
- Value
- Large wool rug at $198 delivers superior coverage vs handwoven alternatives.
- Construction and materials
- 70% wool, 30% cotton with cotton glued backing, reflecting Simons Maison's value-driven construction strategy.
- Care
- Plush pile suits moderate-footfall rooms such as bedrooms and living rooms but may show wear faster in constant-traffic areas like hallways and dining rooms; shedding subsides over time, and over-wetting should be avoided to protect the cotton backing.
- Floor coverage
- Available in 150x240 cm, 240x300 cm, and 270x360 cm; at CA$198, the 150x240 cm size covers about 6.7× more floor area than a handwoven wool rug of the same price.
- Maintenance
- Vacuum regularly without a beater bar, rotate the rug 180 degrees every six months, and have it professionally hand-washed every 2–5 years to extend its life beyond 50 years; initial shedding is typical.
- Shedding
- Initial shedding is common and typically decreases over time; however, one buyer reported heavy fiber loss and returned the rug for that reason.
- Lanolin
- Natural lanolin coating on wool repels dirt and resists staining.
- Professional cleaning
- Professional cool‑water pH‑neutral hand‑wash every 2–5 years is required for a 50‑year lifespan.
- Stain repellence
- Lanolin makes wool water-repellent and dirt-resistant, reducing deep cleaning.
- Cleaning method
- Blot spills dry; lift dried stains with cornstarch; avoid steam and harsh detergents.
- Moth prevention
- Bald spots or fine dust near dark edges signal moth larvae, not normal shedding.
- Moth treatment
- Suspected moth larvae or fine dust near dark edges should be treated with professional heat or cold treatment before washing; avoid DIY steam, which permanently felts the wool pile.
- Heat felting
- Heat and steam permanently felt the wool pile, requiring cool-water cleaning and flat drying.
- Crush recovery
- Furniture indentations in the wool pile rebound naturally over time.
- Construction method
- This rug is handmade in India from a 70% wool / 30% cotton blend with a cotton backing. It is hand-tufted: wool yarn is punched through the backing with a hand-operated tool, producing a dense, plush pile at reduced labor cost compared with hand-knotting.
- Cotton backing
- The 30% cotton back resists stretching and anchors the tufted yarns, avoiding the synthetic backings found on cheaper tufted rugs.
- Pattern versatility
- Because the low-contrast herringbone reads almost like a tonal solid from across the room, the grey and off-white options anchor the floor without visually competing.
- Rug pad
- A rug pad is recommended for high-traffic areas to prolong the rug's life, and buyers say the rug can be slippery without one.
- Color accuracy
- Available in Grey and Off White, both neutral contemporary tones; buyers report the coloring is exactly as pictured.

Buying Guide

Grounding a living room around a textured neutral focal point
Use this wool rug as the centerpiece of a living room, where its bone herringbone pattern of alternating perpendicular stripes adds visual texture under your seating area. Reviewers describe it as a focal point with a high-end look that matches its online photos, and Simons says its easy-to-match neutral palette brings a refined, modern touch to any decor.[1]
Plush wool rug for barefoot mornings by the bed
Step out of bed onto a soft wool pile described in customer reviews as plush and luxuriously cozy underfoot, making it a pick for bedrooms where barefoot comfort matters. Be aware that one reviewer reported heavy shedding that coated socks and floors and led to a return, so it may not suit households wanting a rug that doesn't release fibers.[1]
A cozy lounging spot your cat will claim
According to a summary of customer reviews, this plush wool rug draws cats to lounge on it, thanks to its luxuriously soft pile. Reviews note a trade-off for pet households: its shedding means more frequent vacuuming to keep it looking its best.[1]
Using this wool rug on hard floors with a rug pad
Place this herringbone-stripe wool rug on hardwood, tile, or other hard floors with a non-slip pad underneath. Reviewers note the rug slides readily on smooth surfaces without a pad, which can become a safety risk, and Simons also recommends a rug pad for greater safety. With a pad keeping it anchored, the rug works best in low-traffic areas.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Herringbone-Stripe Wool Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a handmade wool rug (70% wool, 30% cotton, made in India) whose chevron herringbone stripes in an easy-to-match neutral palette can serve as a polished living room focal point, with a plush, cozy wool pile reviewers say matches the online photos. It comes in 150 x 240 cm, 240 x 300 cm, and 270 x 360 cm sizes in Grey or Off White, and has a cotton back. Note that it sheds noticeably—some buyers report fibers on socks and floors and more frequent vacuuming—and it slides on hard floors without a non-slip rug pad, which Simons recommends for safety.[1] | Winding Contrast Wool Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a modern, handwoven wool rug (90% wool, 10% cotton) whose low, carved pile forms a textured monochromatic pattern of concentric arcs and ribbed lines in a neutral cream/ivory tone, with Light Grey, Off White, and Ivory/Cream Beige colorways in four sizes from 150X230 cm to 275X365 cm for indoor spaces. Reviewers praise its color and design, but report heavy fiber shedding that persists on floors and clothing even with vacuuming, plus dirt lodging in the patterned weave and a temporary unpacking odor, so it may not suit homes that want low-effort upkeep. Simons recommends adding a rug pad for greater safety.[2,3,4] | Natural Chic Artisanal Rug See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a hand-knotted, 100% New Zealand wool rug with a felted looped texture and neutral off-white/cream palette to ground a modern, minimalist space—reviewers say the thick wool pile feels soft and cozy underfoot and the large sizes suit spacious living or dining rooms, especially on wood floors. Be aware it is delicate and prone to shedding and pilling, especially in the first weeks and with pets or high traffic, so the merchant recommends a low-traffic placement, vacuuming without a brush roll, and a rug pad for safety. Reviews also note the actual rug reads paler and cooler than the darker, ashier online photos, and each artisanal piece may vary slightly in color and texture.[5] |

Great looking wool rug
Works perfectly for my place. The coloring is exactly as pictured. My cat loves it!
Commande jamais reçue
J’aurais aimé pouvoir vous faire un feed-back mais malheureusement je n’ai jamais reçu le tapis.
Joli mais…
Très beau tapis mais il perd énormément de fibres. Impossible de marcher dessus sans en avoir plein sous les chaussettes et en mettre partout. Je l’ai retourné pour cette raison.
Très beau produit!
Tapis de qualité, doux, de couleur os, qui donne un bel effet avec le motif chevron. Bien satisfaite de mon achat :) Prévoir un sous-tapis parce qu’il est glissant.
