Oriental Weavers is one of the largest and most technically sophisticated machine-woven rug manufacturers in the world. What that means practically: better color accuracy, more consistent construction, and more design range at the mid-market price point than most competitors.
Founded in Egypt in 1979, OW has grown into one of the world’s largest machine-woven rug manufacturers. We carry them because their color accuracy between photography and delivered product is among the best in the segment — the rug you see online is the rug you get.
OW vs Karastan: Karastan has softer proprietary fibers and stronger brand identity. OW wins on price consistency and color accuracy across wider range.
OW vs Dalyn: Similar tier. OW has broader design range; Dalyn has slight edge on pile density in flagships.

Everything you need to know to choose.
Most people think a rug pad is just to keep their rug from slipping. It does that, but it also quietly protects your floors, extends the life of your rug, and makes every step feel noticeably better underfoot. Think of it as the part of the rug you never see but always feel.
Without a pad, a rug's backing can act like sandpaper on hardwood, tile, and vinyl — especially with foot traffic. A pad creates a soft barrier.
Both surfaces grip — top holds the rug, bottom grips your floor. No bunching, no shifting, no tripping hazard. Essential for high-traffic areas.
Cushioning absorbs impact so the rug fibers don't crush prematurely. A pad can add years to your investment.
A pad holds your rug flat and in place, making vacuuming more effective and preventing the rug from creeping during cleaning.
Even a thin pad adds noticeable cushion. A deluxe pad takes it further — like the difference between bare hardwood and a well-padded surface.
Pads dampen impact sound and reduce noise between floors — especially valuable in multi-story homes or apartments.
