CloudMat's 6'7"×13'2" runner offers something traditional narrow runners simply cannot: substantial coverage with the same washable, cushioned comfort as our area rugs. At 200cm × 400cm, this large-format runner transforms long hallways, open-concept transitions, and galley kitchens into cushioned, stylish spaces that can be machine washed whenever life gets messy.
The CloudMat Runner Difference
Traditional runners are narrow strips—typically 2 feet wide—that cover minimal floor space. CloudMat took a different approach with our 6'7"×13'2" runner. At over 6 feet wide and 13 feet long, this generous format provides substantial cushioned coverage for spaces that need length.
This isn't just a skinny rug—it's a full 3cm cushioned foam pad with our signature tensioned microfibre cover, delivered in runner proportions. The result is a rug that actually protects your floors and your feet while fitting spaces where standard area rugs would overwhelm the layout.
Finally, a runner with real cushioning and substantial coverage.
2Perfect Spaces for the 6'7"×13'2" Runner
Our runner size excels in spaces that demand length: long hallways connecting multiple rooms, open-concept living areas that need zone definition, galley kitchens where you want cushioned comfort from sink to stove, and wide corridors that can accommodate generous coverage.
The 6'7" width means this runner works in spaces where narrow runners would look lost. Think wide hallways, open loft transitions, or positioning alongside kitchen islands for anti-fatigue comfort during meal prep.
At 13'2" long, it covers substantial distance—anchoring open floor plans and protecting high-traffic paths.
Designed for spaces that deserve more than a narrow strip of coverage.
Built for Canadian Seasons
Canadian entryways and hallways endure months of snow melt, salt residue, and mud tracked in on boots. Spring mud season can be even worse, with daily deposits of dirt and moisture.
Traditional runners stain permanently and trap moisture, creating slip hazards and odour problems. CloudMat's washable runner addresses this reality directly—when the seasonal abuse accumulates, simply remove the cover and machine wash.
The non-slip rubber backing keeps the runner secure even when moisture is present, and the 3cm foam cushioning provides comfortable footing during the long indoor months.
In Canadian homes, 'washable' is not a luxury—it is a necessity.
4Anti-Fatigue Kitchen Coverage
Anyone who spends significant time cooking knows the fatigue that comes from standing on hard floors. At 13+ feet long, our runner covers the entire length of most galley kitchens, providing cushioned support from refrigerator to stove.
The 3cm foam core reduces strain on feet, knees, and lower back during extended standing. Beyond comfort, the generous coverage protects flooring from dropped utensils, spilled liquids, and the general wear of high-use zones.
When cooking splatters and spills accumulate, the removable cover goes right in your washing machine—maintaining hygiene in food preparation areas without professional cleaning.
Transform your entire kitchen workflow with wall-to-wall cushioned comfort.
Runner Rug Sizes for Different Spaces
Runners need to fit narrow spaces precisely. Here is how CloudMat sizes work as runners in different applications:
Short entryways, kitchen sink zones, bedside accent
Works as a short runner or accent piece. Ideal for targeted zones like in front of the sink or as a bedside landing strip.
Medium hallways (7-8 ft), apartment entryways, galley kitchen sections
Our mid-length option for shorter hallways or as a focused kitchen zone rug. Position to cover the primary traffic path.
Standard hallways (10-12 ft), extended kitchen work zones
Works well in standard Canadian home hallways. Covers the primary walking path with room at each end.
Long hallways (14+ ft), extended galley kitchens, combined zones
Our longest option for extended hallways or covering multiple kitchen zones. Can span from sink to stove in larger kitchens.

Styling Runner Rugs in Your Home
Runners connect spaces and deserve thoughtful styling that complements adjacent rooms while serving high-traffic demands:
Hallway Runner Styling
The runner should span most of the hallway while leaving 4-6 inches of floor visible at each end. This creates visual bookends that frame the runner intentionally.
Center the runner in the hallway, leaving equal floor visible on each side. In narrow hallways, this may mean only 2-3 inches; in wide hallways, 6-8 inches looks balanced.
Patterns with directional flow should run lengthwise down the hallway, guiding the eye and foot traffic naturally toward the destination.
Kitchen Runner Styling
Position the runner to cover the sink-to-stove work triangle—the zones where you stand longest. The runner should extend slightly beyond your typical standing positions.
Leave clearance for cabinet and appliance doors to open fully without catching on the runner edge. Test door swings before finalizing placement.
Kitchen runners see more spills than other runners. Choose patterns or mid-tone colours that do not show every mark between washings.
Entryway Runner Styling
Position the runner so the entry door swings fully without catching. This may mean starting the runner slightly back from the door threshold.
The entryway runner is the first interior design element guests see. Choose patterns and colours that set the tone for your home's overall aesthetic.
Pro Tips
- •Runners in connecting spaces should coordinate with rugs in adjacent rooms without needing to match exactly
- •Patterned runners hide traffic wear better than solid colours—practical for high-use zones
- •In very long hallways, consider two coordinating runners with a small gap between rather than one oversized piece
- •Kitchen runners benefit from being slightly oversized—you will find yourself stepping on them from multiple angles
- •CloudMat's washable design means lighter colours are practical even in muddy entryways
Did You Know?
Facts that might surprise you
The Anti-Fatigue Factor
Studies show standing on cushioned surfaces reduces leg and back fatigue by 50% compared to hard floors. Kitchen runners with padding transform cooking from an endurance challenge to a comfortable activity.
Hallway Design History
Runners have been used in hallways for centuries—originally to protect expensive wood floors from heavy foot traffic. Modern runners continue this protective function while adding design value.
Traffic Pattern Impact
The average Canadian household passes through the main hallway 40+ times daily. This concentrated traffic is why hallway runners need better durability and cleanability than room rugs.

Buying Guide
CloudMat's 6'7"×13'2" runner serves high-traffic transitional spaces with generous coverage.
CloudMat's 6'7"×13'2" runner serves high-traffic transitional spaces with generous coverage. At $249 CAD, this is our largest size—designed for spaces that demand length without sacrificing cushioned comfort.
Is the 6'7"×13'2" Right for Your Space?
At 200cm × 400cm, our runner size works best in spaces that can accommodate its generous dimensions. Wide hallways (6+ feet), open-concept transitions, full-length galley kitchens, and loft-style living areas are ideal candidates.
Measure your space before ordering—you'll want at least a few inches of floor visible around the perimeter for a polished look. The 13+ foot length covers substantial distance, making it perfect for connecting spaces or protecting long traffic paths.
Thickness and Door Clearance
CloudMat's 3cm foam cushioning provides substantial comfort underfoot—a key feature that distinguishes our runners from thin, pad-less alternatives. However, this thickness means you should check door clearance before purchasing.
Measure the gap between your door bottom and floor. CloudMat's tapered edges help with smooth transitions, but extremely low-clearance doors may need adjustment. Most standard door installations accommodate our profile without issues.
Non-Slip Security
High-traffic zones demand secure footing. CloudMat's integrated rubber backing grips both hardwood and tile without requiring additional rug pads.
The substantial weight of the 6'7"×13'2" size (it's our largest rug) also helps it stay put during heavy use. This security is especially important in kitchens where spilled liquids could create slip hazards on unsecured runners.
Washable = Built to Last
Runners occupy the highest-traffic zones in your home—hallways where everyone passes, kitchens where spills happen, entryways where Canadian winters track in salt and slush.
Traditional runners show wear patterns and permanent staining within months. CloudMat's removable cover goes in your washing machine whenever needed, genuinely washing away accumulated dirt and refreshing the surface. The foam base stays in place and only needs occasional spot cleaning.
Quality You Can Feel
Every rug in our collection is selected for superior craftsmanship. From the weave pattern to the materials used, quality is at the heart of what we offer.
- Premium materials sourced globally
- Expert craftsmanship standards
- Rigorous quality testing
- Built for lasting durability
Caring for Your Runner Rug
Runners occupy the highest-traffic zones in your home and accumulate dirt faster than any other rug type. Regular cleaning keeps them functional and attractive:
High-Traffic Maintenance
- 1Shake out or vacuum runners 2-3 times per week—more often than standard rugs
- 2Use suction-only setting to prevent fibre damage from beater bars
- 3Spot clean spills immediately to prevent tracking through the house
- 4Check non-slip backing regularly to ensure it maintains grip
Seasonal Deep Cleaning
- 1Machine wash covers monthly during high-traffic seasons (winter, mud season)
- 2Wash less frequently (every 6-8 weeks) during lower-traffic periods
- 3Use cold water and gentle detergent—no bleach or fabric softener
- 4Ensure completely dry before replacing to prevent mildew
Entryway and Mudroom Care
- 1Shake out or hose down after heavy mud or snow tracking
- 2Machine wash whenever visible dirt accumulates—do not wait for staining
- 3Consider a 'rotation system' with two runners so one can dry while the other is in use
- 4Brush off dried mud before washing for best results
Kitchen Runner Care
- 1Wipe up grease splatters immediately to prevent setting
- 2Machine wash after cooking sessions that produce significant splatter
- 3The microfibre surface releases cooking oils easily in cold water
- 4Avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the runner surface
