Sisal vs. Seagrass? What's better for a rug?
Answers: Seagrass is a smoother grass and not quite as "prickely" on your foot. Sisal is more sturdy, but not remotely "barefoot friendly". I've thrown down samples for my cats to "destroy" and both held up rather well. Make sure to get hold of the topical stain protection for either one...they are inherent fibers, and absorb stains with alacrity.
Really depends on how you're going to use the room....please remember, both are natural fibers and should not be exposed to a large amount of moisture. Seagrass lends itself to a more detached living space, while sisal tends to look more formal because it is usually more tightly woven.
I enjoy done seagrass wall to wall in bedrooms and living rooms....sisal mostly as nouns rugs. Also remember, they both fade in strong inherent lighting.
Take your shoes off....wander on both of them!!! It really comes down to ....what feels best to your foot.
Personally I prefer the texture of seagrass on bare foot.
Peace.
