Hallways and high-traffic zones absorb countless footsteps, muddy boots, and the occasional sprint to answer the doorbell. CloudMat's 6'7"×13'2" runner ($249) covers full corridors with washable, cushioned comfort. For smaller spaces, our area rug sizes (3'×5', 5'×7', 6'×9') bring the same machine-washable convenience to any high-traffic zone.

1Why Your Hallway Deserves Better

The average Canadian family walks through their hallway dozens of times daily. In winter, this means repeated exposure to salt, slush, and moisture from boots. Spring brings mud tracked in from thawing yards. Summer sees sand from beach trips, and autumn delivers crushed leaves and rain.

Traditional runner rugs absorb all this abuse without any real way to get clean. Professional cleaning is expensive and impractical for the frequency hallways require. Washable runners eliminate this problem entirely, letting you restore your hallway to pristine condition whenever needed.

Your hallway handles more traffic than any room in your home. It deserves a rug that can keep up.

The CloudMat Runner Advantage

CloudMat washable runners bring our signature 3cm cushioned foam technology to narrow spaces. The removable cover slips off easily, washes in any standard machine, and stretches back into place in minutes.

Unlike thin, flat runners that offer no comfort, CloudMat provides genuine anti-fatigue cushioning. This matters especially in kitchens where you stand while cooking, or in hallways connecting multiple rooms where every step counts.

Three centimetres of cloud-like comfort, engineered for high-traffic zones.

CloudMat Sizes for Any Space

CloudMat offers four sizes to fit Canadian homes. Our 6'7"×13'2" runner ($249) covers wide hallways, open-concept corridors, and full galley kitchens. The 6'×9' ($139) works for large entries and living areas.

The 5'×7' ($99)—our most popular size—fits moderate hallways and kitchens. The 3'×5' ($59) suits small entryways and bathroom placement. All sizes feature the same 3cm cushioning and machine-washable design.

Four sizes, one washable solution. Find your fit.

4Beyond Hallways: Where Runners Shine

While hallways are the classic runner location, these versatile rugs excel in many spaces. Kitchen runners protect floors in front of sinks and stoves while providing cushioning during meal prep. Laundry room runners add comfort to a hardworking space.

Bedside runners give your feet a soft landing each morning. Even bathrooms benefit from washable runners placed in front of vanities or along the tub, where moisture and spills are constant concerns.

Runners work anywhere you need narrow, washable, cushioned comfort.

Complete Styling Guide

Expert tips for placing and styling your rug

Room-by-Room Placement

Living Room

Center your rug under the coffee table with all seating touching or on the rug. For open floor plans, use the rug to define the conversation area.

Bedroom

Place a large rug under the bed extending 2-3 feet on each side, or use runners on either side for a cozy morning landing spot.

Dining Room

Ensure the rug extends 24-30 inches beyond the table on all sides so chairs remain on the rug when pulled out.

Nursery

A padded CloudMat in the center creates a safe play zone. Position away from cribs but close to seating areas for tummy time.

Color & Pattern Matching

Neutral Furniture

Bold patterned or richly colored rugs add personality. Try geometric patterns or saturated jewel tones as focal points.

Colorful Decor

Solid neutral rugs in cream, grey, or beige provide visual rest and prevent the space from feeling overwhelming.

Modern Spaces

Abstract patterns or minimalist solid rugs in muted tones complement clean lines and contemporary furniture.

Traditional Rooms

Oriental patterns, medallions, or classic motifs in warm colors enhance heritage and antique furniture pieces.

Pro Designer Tips

  • When in doubt, size up. An undersized rug is the #1 decorating mistake.
  • Use painters tape to mock up dimensions before purchasing.
  • Layer rugs for added texture - place a smaller patterned rug over a larger neutral base.
  • Rotate your rug 180° every 6 months to ensure even wear and sun exposure.

Buying Guide

CloudMat offers four sizes for high-traffic zones.

CloudMat offers four sizes for high-traffic zones. Choose based on your space dimensions and coverage needs.

1

Choosing Your CloudMat Size

For wide hallways (7+ feet) and full galley kitchens, our 6'7"×13'2" runner ($249) provides substantial coverage at over 13 feet long. For moderate hallways and kitchen work zones, the 5'×7' ($99) or 6'×9' ($139) offer generous coverage.

Smaller entries and bathroom placements work well with the 3'×5' ($59). All sizes feature the same 3cm cushioned foam and machine-washable covers.

2

Thickness Matters for Comfort

Thin runners offer minimal benefit beyond aesthetics. If you are investing in a runner, choose one with substantial cushioning. CloudMat's 3cm foam provides genuine anti-fatigue properties that reduce strain on feet, knees, and backs.

This thickness also helps runners stay in place better than thin alternatives, even without the non-slip backing we include with every CloudMat.

3

Pattern Selection for High Traffic

Solid-colour runners show every spec of dirt between washes. Patterned options in mid-tones hide wear better and extend time between necessary cleanings. Consider your existing décor but prioritize practicality.

Geometric patterns, subtle textures, and heathered designs all perform well in high-traffic zones while maintaining visual appeal.

4

Care and Maintenance Tips

Washable runners should be cleaned every 2-4 weeks in high-traffic areas, more frequently during muddy seasons. Machine wash the removable cover in cold water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or air dry.

The foam base needs only occasional spot cleaning. Vacuum the runner regularly between washes to prevent dirt from grinding into fibres.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Can washable runner rugs go in a regular washing machine?
Yes, CloudMat washable runners feature removable covers that fit in standard household washing machines. Use cold water on a gentle cycle, then tumble dry low or air dry. The 3cm foam base stays in place and only needs occasional spot cleaning.
What CloudMat size works for my hallway?
For wide hallways (7+ feet), our 6'7"×13'2" runner ($249) provides substantial coverage. For moderate corridors, the 5'×7' ($99) or 6'×9' ($139) work well. Narrow hallways suit the 3'×5' ($59). Measure your space and choose the size that leaves some floor visible at the edges.
Do washable runners need a rug pad?
CloudMat washable runners include integrated non-slip rubber backing, eliminating the need for separate rug pads. This built-in grip keeps your runner securely in place on hardwood, tile, and laminate floors without bunching or sliding.
How often should I wash a hallway runner?
In high-traffic areas, wash your runner every 2-4 weeks. During Canadian winters when salt and slush are tracked in daily, you may need to wash more frequently. The machine-washable design makes this practical rather than burdensome.
Are washable runners good for kitchens?
Absolutely. Washable runners are ideal for kitchens where spills, splashes, and dropped food are inevitable. CloudMat's cushioned runners also provide anti-fatigue support during meal prep, reducing strain on feet and legs during extended standing.
