Today I’m giving you my updated, honest Ruggable review, and this time I’m comparing the original two-piece Ruggable with the new Ruggable All-in-One.
Quick answer: I love the All-in-One. It’s so much better than the original.
The new all in one runner looks the same, it feels better underfoot, and best of all, no more taking it apart to wash it and lining it all back up again.

Why I’m Updating This Ruggable Review
A few years ago I was shopping for a traditional rug for our home when I got an opportunity to work with Ruggable on a sponsored Instagram post.
They gifted me the runner that’s been in our kitchen ever since.
That was a long time ago and I’m no longer obligated to speak about Ruggable, one way or another.
I tend to get A LOT of questions anytime I show my kitchen with the Ruggable runner in it, so I wrote a full post answering them.
Then Ruggable came out with it’s new and improved All-in-One.
I bought it myself, for our kitchen here in Connecticut and loved it so much, bought a second for our place in Florida.
So it was time for an update here.
What are Ruggable Rugs?
Ruggable rugs are machine washable rugs.
They’re made from polyester and designed to go right into a standard washing machine.
Ruggable now makes two different kinds:
The original Two-Piece System. A thin, washable rug cover with a water resistant backing that attaches to a super grippy, cushioned rug pad. (The pad reminds me of a yoga mat.) To wash it, you peel the cover off the pad.
The All-in-One. One single rug with the nonslip backing built right in. No pad and no assembly. You wash the whole thing.
Ruggable All-in-One vs. Original: Side by Side
| Original Two-Piece | All-in-One |
|---|---|
| How many piecesTwo: a washable cover plus a separate rug padOne piece with nonslip backing built in | |
| Thickness (per Ruggable)About 2mm (flatwoven cover)About 7mm, roughly 1/4″ (tufted) | |
| WashingDetach the cover, wash it, then line it back up on the padToss the whole rug in the washer | |
| Setup Tricky. Took me several tries to line it upJust lay it down | |
| Feel underfoot (my take)Thinner, flat Feels better underfoot | |
| Staying in place (my take)The pad doesn’t budge Slips a little out of place | |
| Swap to a new look Buy a new cover, keep your pad Buy a whole new rug | |
| Rug pad Ruggable pad required Can’t be used with any rug pad |
Thickness and pad details are from Ruggable’s product pages for the Kamran Coral design. The rest is from my own experience.
My Ruggable All-in-One Review
I went with the Kamran Coral tufted All-in-One runner in [size, e.g. 2.5′ x 10′]. The rugs really look the same. The difference is how it works.
Pros:
No More Taking It Apart to Wash It
This is the big one.
To me, the two-piece made taking it apart to wash it and lining it all back up again a big pain.
With the All-in-One, I just pick it up and put it in the washer. That’s it.
This update is why I love it so much.
It Fit in My Washer, No Problem
I’ve washed mine once so far and it fit in my washing machine with no problem.
Ruggable says to machine wash it cold with a mild, bleach-free detergent and tumble dry on low.
If you’re getting a large size, check your washer’s capacity first.
It Feels Better Underfoot
I do think the new one feels better underfoot.
It’s a tufted rug, about 1/4″ thick according to Ruggable, compared to the thin flatwoven cover on my original.
No More Tricky Installation
In my original review, my biggest complaint was that it took me several attempts to get the rug pad and cover lined up just right.
That problem is gone. There’s nothing to line up. You just lay it down.
No Lint Problems
Some reviewers have mentioned lint showing on the All-in-One. I haven’t had that problem with mine at all.
Ruggable does recommend vacuuming it on low suction to keep it soft.
Cons:
It Slips a Little
The worst thing I can say is that it slips a little out of place. Not a big deal at all.
But this is the one spot where the original wins. That grippy pad didn’t budge on our hardwood floors.
Also keep in mind, Ruggable says the All-in-One can’t be used with their rug pads or a standard rug pad, so you can’t just add one underneath.
You Can’t Swap Covers
With the original, if you ever tired of your rug, you could get a different pattern and still use the existing pad, saving a bit of money.
With the All-in-One, a new look means buying a whole new rug.
It Costs More As I’m writing this, the Kamran Coral in 6′ x 9′ is listed at $499 for the tufted All-in-One and $369 for the flatwoven two-piece, before any sales.
Ruggable also offers some great designs from Jonathan Adler.
How My Original Ruggable Held Up
Our original runner has been in the kitchen by the sink and dishwasher area for years to protect our hardwood floors, and it held up great.
No fading after several washes and spot treatments.
Making these area rugs ideal for high-traffic areas.
It’s also perfect for under a dining room table or in dining rooms where food is often spilled.
For me, I wanted to protect our hardwood floors in our kitchen by our sink and dish washer area, so I went with a Ruggable runner.
It turned out to be the perfect rug for what I was looking for.
It was always easy to vacuum with a regular vacuum, robot vacuum or even a hand held vacuum.
And often I could just spot clean it with a damp rag and mild detergent instead of washing the whole thing.
The only real downside was the washing. Every time, it meant taking it apart and lining it all back up again.
Ruggable Review Final Verdict
If you’re buying a Ruggable today, I’d go with the All-in-One.
It’s just as beautiful, it feels better underfoot, and it’s SO much easier to wash.
The little bit of slipping doesn’t bother me at all.
If you have young kids or pets and you’re considering this purchase, I would say go for it.
When Jeneva Bell, the founder of Ruggable, came up with this washable feature, she was really on to such a great idea.
So many manufacturers are jumping on this bandwagon now, but personally I’d still stick with Ruggable.

Yes. The whole rug goes in the washer. Ruggable says to wash it cold with a mild, bleach-free detergent and tumble dry on low. My runner fit in my washer with no problem.
No. Ruggable says All-in-One rugs can’t be used with their Two-Piece rug pads or with standard rug pads. The nonslip backing is built in.
For me, yes. It looks the same, feels better underfoot, and you don’t have to take it apart and line it back up every time you wash it. The original grips the floor a little better and lets you swap covers.
Mine slips a little out of place on our floors. It’s not a big deal, but the original two-piece pad was grippier.
