My Rug Store Jelly Beans Rug: Review
One great thing about this move is we have been able to make the bungalow our home, while we lived in the last place for over three years and we both had so many plans for it, really hoping it could be a long term home for us. The truth is we were never really happy there and that came across in the fact we never truly made it our own.
This move however has felt completely different, the first night I slept like a log and Sally has settled in like she has been here forever, showing none of the anxiety signs she did after the last move. Perhaps most telling of all is it feels welcoming when you walk in, the place is bright and full of joy, compared to the darkness of the last place and I can’t wait to see what the future here brings.
As we were moving in the lovely people at My Rug Store got in touch and asked if I would love to review something from their huge range of rugs on the blog and with such perfect timing – I couldn’t say no.
After browsing the website for a long time and coming across some beautiful rugs, I feel in love with the Jelly Beans design, it was in fact the multi-coloured design that first caught my eye and as much as I loved it, I knew it wouldn’t fit in our home. So on noticing the beige/brown combination I knew I have found a mix of both a design I loved and colours that matched.
The Jelly Beans range of rugs is all made from chunky felted wool, which makes for such a soft, deep and thick rug. We haven’t used an underlay with this rug, as we do have non-slip flooring, however due to how it is made if your floor is slippery at all, I would definitely suggest making sure you add one underneath just to be safe.
The Jelly Beans rugs are large with this being the smaller size and coming in at 120 x 170 cm, we have quite a small living area as you may be able to tell from the picture and it does take up a large portion of the floor. However, I think it really does work for us, Sally likes to use it as an extra bed and in the day is often found lying on it, while it also makes for an area that can be more comfortable to sit on than the floor, should we run out of proper seats.
Personally I am really impressed by this rug, at the time of writing I believe we have had it down for around 4 weeks, it has been walked on, jumped on, rolled up, danced on and had a dog roll about on it and it still looks as good as the day we put it down.
One issue I have with many rugs I have previously had is where they have been rolled in storage and transit they never really lay flat, this however hasn’t been a problem with this rug, it has laid flat from day one and we have had no issues with corners lifting.
As such I would totally recommend this rug to others, as not only does it look good, but it really seems to have been well made.
The Jelly Beans Rug in Beige / Brown can be brought now, from My Rug Store, where it costs from £199.
What do you think of this rug, could you see yourself having one like it?

oooh, I love how bobbly it is. We are looking for a new rug for our living room.
I love that rug!! I want it! Really cool, unusual texture. We sit on the lounge floor quite a lot to play, and this looks like it would be really comfy.
This rug would go perfectly in my living room! I love the look of it and mine desperately needs to be replaced.
I would definitely have gone for a rug like this given the choice. I have a run in my living room but I’ve had it quite a while now and I really want a new one x
This looks lovely, I don’t like most rugs either!
Ah such a pretty rug, your home looks lovely!
L x
This was a great choice of rug. I love the design! It’s nice that it ended up being such a high quality rug.
It was awesome – I was so surprised by it when it came to look, feel and design. x
This rug looks lovely! Most rugs can be a little hard or thin but this one just looks so soft. I’d love one in my living room – thanks for sharing x
It really has got that nice medium, lovely and soft yet still thick. x
Oh this is great! I feel like rugs are one of the hardest thing to choose for you house, they have to be the right size, colour, pattern and price! Its really hard to find the perfect one!
It can be so hard can’t it and the amount of choice never helps haha 😉 X
I took a peek at the multi coloured one, amazing! Yours is gorgeous though and I always tend to go neutral with my house bits. Jo x
It is amazing isn’t it – if I had a space for it I would totally have it – but I’m not a bright coloured person for living areas. x
I am loving the color of the rug! I am big fan of neutrals so that would look good in my craft room. I have never heard of Jelly Bean rugs, but I am going to have to check them out because the price point seems reasonable.
They are wonderful I love the fact it’s felted wool, not had a rug made of it before but it works so well! x
The rug looks lovely and what a funky name! Glad to hear you have settled into your new home. Sally looks very happy 🙂
Thank you so much and she is so much happier here, like a new dog 🙂 x
I really like this rug and like the way you have described it looks after being rolled around on by the dog. My cats and the baby take a toll on my furniture and rugs!
This rug would go so well with my decor Sarah! I love the design and that it allows for a mixture of colours and look at Sally the little doggy fashionista!
I know she has to plonk herself right in the middle of the photo 😉 lol x
Aww this rug is cute, would look great in our living room! 🙂

That rug looks amazing! The colours are beautiful and would look nice in our living room too, think I may have to take inspiration.
Woop! It is absolutely fantastic honestly – I am over the moon with it so cosy as well. x
Great rug looking for something for our small living room too. It would be forgiving of kids dropping bits and dog fur till I grab the hoover and looks as though it is made of high quality materials to withstand my crazy house occupants.
It is very forgiving with dog fur – I’m yet to spot any on there, but with her using it they have to be there I am sure! x
This rug from My Rug Store is indeed one I would love to have. I love the colors and the design. These Jelly Beans Rugs I will have to check out for sure. Thanks for sharing your experience with this product.
Looks lovely! Really goes well with your space. I’d love to see it in a really wacky colour scheme though 🙂
They do, do rainbow ones – I was very tempted (think I mentioned it in the post) but it just wouldn’t go here. x
The rug looks great in your living room – I glad the move went well and your pupper is settling in ok!
Thank you and she definitely is – she loves it here thankfully though sometimes I wish she would shhh a little lol x
Sally is adorable! Moving is such a pain, isn’t it. We’ve been in our home for 16 years. I’d hate to think of all the things we’d find tucked away. Love your new rug. We need one, headed over to the site to check them out.
I’m hoping we don’t have to move from here for a while – however I seem to be one of those people who gets itchy feet after a while and wants to move. x
Great choice! I love rugs! They always seem to bring the word HOME to a building. I’ve been looking at new rugs myself as the one I have is getting quite worn! Thanks for sharing!
We went for harder floors here so we have rugs everywhere and I love it – means you can change things when you fancy 😉 X
Looking at the image I could imagine walking on it already and how it’ll feel, I like that. Reminds me I need a new rug for my bedroom so I should have to have a look on their website x
It is really lovely – spongy and soft so you bounce as you walk on it 😉 x
I could walk on this all day!!
I love your choice in rug, perfect timing with the colder weather coming 🙂
It is so lovely, thick and just perfect really. x
