Polyester has revolutionised the making of a particular genre of rugs, namely shaggy rugs. This fibre’s ability to be shaped in a limitless number of ways has allowed for the creation of a large number of shaggy rug types that they now dominate the market. Another important quality of polyester is that it is very soft even in its cheapest form, which allowed for the creation of vast budget ranges that are very luxurious to the touch. Polyester rugs do not only come in shaggy form, they are also used to create modern rugs in a large variety of design and colours.
