Wirecutter (The New York Times)

"The Kivari Eden is our top pick for a natural fiber rug that doesn't off-gas. We tested it for two months in a home office and the sound reduction alone is worth the price. The plastic-free packaging is a genuine bonus—no other brand we've tested ships rugs in reusable bags."

"We appreciate the full lifecycle transparency—climate neutral, chemical-free, and Australian-made. The rug held up beautifully under heavy foot traffic and a pet cat. The only downside: it's dry-clean only, but that's standard for natural wool."

"I've been looking for a rug that doesn't trigger migraines from synthetic smells. The Kivari Eden arrived smelling like clean wool and nothing else. It's weighty but not heavy, and the jute bag is now my farmers market tote. Highly recommend for anyone with chemical sensitivities or autism sensory needs."
