Similar to onhunt's deal for the 230x160cm Viscose rug, this is another inexpensive rug for your home and in a much bigger size as well. I bought one yesterday to cover the floorboards of the office in my new home. It's a low, dense pile so isn't fluffy on your toes but I only want it to help keep heat in and deaden sound in an otherwise bare room. Plenty of stock in Launceston store at midday.
How is it? Good quality? Easy to vacuum?
It's a cheap rug, so all I can say is find one at your local Bunnings and decide for yourself. It's good enough for what I want it to do; for other areas of the house where quality really matters I spent a lot more on rungs. The pile is very low so, yes, easy to vacuum.
How does a rug keep heat in? Insulate against cold air escaping from floor boards?
Yes, that's about it, plus when you put your feet on it you're not touching a cold surface. It's also a psychological thing - fluffy rugs feel warmer (although this one is not fluffy).
Bunnings has some cheap rugs, i bought this one for $29 but now down to $19:

What i was told is they order a container full of these rugs, and they're cheap, but they don't order until they're almost out of all of them. So if no stock for a rug you may have a little bit of a wait until it's back in stock
