The first thing your feet touch every morning should feel soft and warm. The right rug for your bedroom does exactly that, and it also makes the room feel calmer, cosier and more finished.
We have been making carpets in Bhadohi since 1964. In this guide you'll find the right carpet size for your bed, three easy ways to place a bedroom rug, which material to choose, and 8 of our favourite rugs for bedrooms, with a pick for every budget.
What Size Rug for Your Bedroom?
Use your bed size as the starting point:
| Bed | Rug under the bed | Rugs beside the bed |
|---|---|---|
| Single bed | 4x6 ft | One 2x5 ft runner |
| Double / Queen bed | 5x8 ft or 6x9 ft | Two 2x5 ft runners |
| King bed | 6x9 ft or 8x10 ft | Two 2.5x6 ft runners |
A simple rule: the rug should stick out at least 1.5 to 2 feet on each side of the bed, so your feet land on it when you get up. For more help, see our Rug Size Guide. Need a size that isn't listed? We make any size.
3 Easy Ways to Place a Bedroom Rug
- Under the bed: place a large rug under the lower two-thirds of the bed, leaving the bedside tables off the rug. This is the most popular and cosy layout.
- Beside the bed: a pair of runners, one on each side, is perfect for smaller rooms or when you want to show off a beautiful floor.
- Foot of the bed or a corner: a round or small rug at the end of the bed or in a reading corner adds softness without covering the whole floor.
Which Material Is Best for a Bedroom?
- Shaggy rugs in microfiber polyester: the softest, deepest pile and the most budget-friendly choice. Great for a warm, cosy feel.
- Hand tufted rugs in 100% New Zealand wool: dense, warm and long-lasting, with more design choices, from calm neutrals to carved patterns.
- Flat-woven dhurries: light, easy to move and reversible, a good choice for warmer months and kids' rooms.
Colour tip: ivory, beige, taupe and soft grey keep a bedroom light and restful. Navy, mustard and deeper shades add warmth and hide everyday marks better.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size rug should go under a queen bed?
A 5x8 ft or 6x9 ft rug works best under a double or queen bed, placed under the lower two-thirds of the bed.
What size rug goes under a king bed?
A 6x9 ft or 8x10 ft rug usually works best, leaving about 1.5 to 2 feet of rug on each side of the bed.
Which carpet is softest for a bedroom?
Shaggy rugs have the deepest, softest pile. Hand tufted wool rugs are also soft and warm, and last longer with care.

Both work. A large rug under the bed feels cosy and complete, while a pair of bedside runners suits smaller rooms and costs less.
What colour rug is best for a bedroom?
Soft neutrals like ivory, beige, taupe and grey feel calm and restful. Navy or mustard add warmth and hide everyday marks better.
How do I keep a bedroom rug clean?
Vacuum once or twice a week with the beater bar off, and blot spills straight away. See our carpet care guide.
