Thinking of snagging one of the best Amazon rugs? Whether you want to cover ugly carpeting in your rental or insulate your space — Amazon is a failsafe go-to.
As an interiors expert, I've spent hours searching for the best rugs on the platform. I considered the material, durability, cleaning care, and square footage when selecting these picks. I also read through customer reviews, only picking options that are highly-rated with over 4 stars.
To save you from having to scroll through page after page to find the best rug for you, I've done all the hard work, and hand-picked our favorite styles that shoppers love.
The best Amazon rugs money can buy
Amazon can be a really handy place to shop for a new rug. It has a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and colors available. Plus, you can find some pretty reasonable price points with quick shipping times.
The e-retail giant carries some of our favorite Amazon furniture brands (including Safavieh, nuLOOM, and Unique Loom), which are featured in this guide. But if the picks below don't float your boat, peruse Amazon's bestsellers list to view the most popular products, based on sales.
Washable Amazon rugs
Considering choosing a new rug yourself? In most cases, you should be able to use your vacuum cleaner to pick up debris, but it's worth checking the care instructions before you chuck it in your washer. If the rug has an intricate design, dyed in a particular way, or made from an organic material, you might need to wash it at a lower temperature or spot-clean it using a gentle upholstery cleaner.

Smarten up your space with this navy blue rug design from celebrity interior designer, Jonathan Adler. Coupled with the manufacturing expertise of Ruggable, this machine-washable area rug is stain and water-resistant and can be conveniently cleaned when it is laundry time. The non-slip pad is made with 50% recycled, latex-free materials. Customers love how easy it is to maintain, with one shopper saying, "It vacuumed well and stays in place perfectly."

Bring all those boho vibes into your living room with this colorful rug. We love how the Moroccan pattern contrasts with the bold Californian sunset print, which would look so striking against neutral wooden flooring, or even a navy blue carpet. The manufacturer suggests machine washing with cold water on a gentle cycle. Do not use chlorine or bleach, as the color may be damaged.

This area rug is the number one bestseller on Amazon — and for good reason too! It has a super soft top layer and a high-density sponge interlayer for the ultimate coziness. It's great for adding warmth in a bedroom, or tummy time if you've got a young child. Rather than having one larger non-grip layer, this mat has thousands of tiny, durable PVC dots to ensure it stays put. To clean this rug, machine wash on cold with mild detergent and line dry.
Jute Amazon rugs
Has your Amazon rug been handwoven or made by a machine? While the latter might be cheaper and less artisan, machine-loomed rugs are generally more durable and cope well in high-traffic areas. These jute rugs are all great picks for a more artisanal look.
Sizes: 27

Colors: 3
Price: Was $130.87, now $111.23
This hand-woven rug is made with natural jute fibers. It's available in a whopping 27 sizes so you can find just the right fit for your space. Shoppers give it high marks with over 1,000 ratings.

This organic pick will work perfectly in any space (go for the round rug if you're working with a small nook). Need to separate your eating and living areas? Done. Even better, it's eco-friendly, made from renewable natural fibers. Reviewers compliment the appearance, size, and comfort of the rug, with one shopper saying, "It brought a whole new level of cozy to my living room, and after a month it is holding up well."

Made from jute, sisal, and sea grass, this boho rug adds natural texture to a room. It's easy to layer with other rugs to create an eclectic look. With over 1,000 ratings, shoppers approve of the value, appearance, and size of the rug. One reviewer says, "I love everything about this rug. It came quickly and laid out perfectly. Looks expensive but isn't’. Great buy!"
Black and white Amazon rugs
I may have mentioned the vast array of rug styles out there. Think Persian, jute, rattan, abstract, checkered... the list could go on. Therefore, I'd suggest first thinking about color and what other design elements you have in your house. Pairing it with the color scheme or trend you have going will work to unify the space. If you're a little unsure, black and white is always a safe bet.
Sizes: 7
Made from: Cotton
Colors: 1
Price: From $23.99
Looking for a rug that shows off your free-spirited side? This well-designed bohemian area rug is just the thing you need. It's soft, breathable, and comfortable on your feet, and has a beautifully bold black Mandala pattern. Though it comes in large rectangular sizes, you'll want to buy one of the runner rugs as they come embellished with a tassel trim along the edges. Position this parallel to your bed, or use it as a narrow living room idea. It's well-loved by shoppers with 4.6 stars and over 1,000 ratings.
Size: 3
Made of: Faux Cashmere
Colors: 5
Price: From $42.99
This swirly area rug resembles something I would see on my favorite Instagram interior design accounts — but at an affordable price, I didn't expect! Available in blue, pink, green, gray, and black, it's a great way to inject a bit of fun to your modern charm into your space. It's perfect for high-traffic areas and easy to clean (even if you have messy kids or pets). Customers love it too, with one shopper saying, "It’s so soft my kids just lay on it like it’s a blanket."
Sizes: 22
Made from: Polyester
Colors: 4
Price: From $23.98
This versatile rug, designed with high-traffic areas in mind, seems like a great buy. With over 4k reviews and 4.6 stars, you know you're investing in a great piece. Plus it's neutral enough to go just about anywhere! I love the raised surface and tasseled detail for added visual interest. Customers appreciate the quality, ease of maintenance, and softness of the rug, with one reviewer saying, "It’s absolutely perfect underfoot and makes our bedroom look amazing."
Adding a rug will make just about any space look more complete and cohesive. While you're upgrading your bedroom or living room, think about adding a small entryway rug to make sure your home makes a great first impression.
It's worth checking if your rug has a non-slip backing before you add it to your basket. This will keep the carpet gripped to the floor and will stop it (and you from sliding) — especially if you have hardwood laminate or tiled flooring. And, if you have an outdoor space, investing in an indoor/outdoor area rug that has a weatherproof finish means you will get double the use out of it.
