I Thought Eco Rugs Were Beyond My Budget, But I’ve Just Found 6 Affordable Designs (Don't Tell Anyone They’re From Amazon...)
These eco rugs are good for the planet and good for your wallet. No one will believe you when you share where they're from


In my effort to be a bit more eco-conscious, I’ve developed a love for eco rugs. Made from renewable materials like organic cotton, wool, jute, sisal, bamboo, and other recycled fibers, they’re good for the planet — but not always so kind to my wallet. You might not think to shop for a rug on Amazon, but after doing a little digging, I’m thrilled to report that I found some of the best rugs with stellar deals.
I can’t say I was shocked, given Amazon’s reputation for low prices, but with some styles discounted as much as 74% off, it feels like Christmas has come early. There are deals to be discovered on a wide range of Amazon rugs, from jute to wool, and more — styles that look like they could easily cost several times as much elsewhere.
And no, these aren’t throwaway pieces — they’re some of the best rugs from some of most top-rated and recognizable brands. Below, I’ve married my three favorite S’s: style, savings, and sustainability. It seems dreams really do come true. Prepare to be amazed by some of the very best rug deals. (Plus a few I've got my fingers crossed will be on sale sometime soon.)
Size: 8' x 10'
I’m partial to diamond checkerboard rugs — they just look expensive, like high-end tile work. While these styles are usually made from heavier materials, you might be surprised to learn that this one is actually crafted from jute! It’s the epitome of California cool. Pair it with warm woods and shaggy textures for extra coziness, or layer in linen accents to keep things light and airy.
Size: 5' x 8'
We must address this abstract rug. Designed by Prabal Gurung himself, it's truly a work of art with its delightfully irregular shape — rugs like this don’t come around every day. With a bold contrast of blues and oranges, it’s guaranteed to be the hero piece in any room. When styling, you’ve got two options: keep furniture simple with muted tones, or go all-out maximalist for a daring, vibrant look.
Size: 2' x 3'
$12.99 for a rug? Could this be true? Admittedly, it’s small — just 2' x 3' — but still, a fantastic deal for a 100% recycled cotton rug. It’s the perfect size for a spot by the kitchen sink or in a bathroom. I love its laid-back fringe border, which feels organic and charming, effortlessly fitting into any space. Plus, it’s available in a range of colorways.
Size: 6'7"x 9'
You’d never guess this intricately decorated rug was made from reworked polyester! Its relief-technique geometric line drawings look artistic and expensive — honestly, I would’ve assumed it cost several times more. This muted green rug feels understated and grounded, a great match with earthy tones like brown or terracotta. And with a medium pile height, it’s super soft underfoot.
Size: 3'6" x 5'6"
This contemporary rug is a staggering 74% off. While this particular listing doesn’t have reviews, it’s from an Amazon-trusted brand with thousands of five-star ratings, so it’s a safe bet for quality. Less than $150 for a sizeable, 100% wool rug — especially one that looks this good — simply can’t be beat. Place it in your high-traffic areas — it’s built to handle it!
Size: 8' x 10'
Jute rugs often get a reputation for being… well, boring. But this one, with its elegant white border and scalloped edge, is anything but! As one of Amazon's most stylish jute rugs, it exudes laid-back elegance, making it the perfect breezy addition to living rooms, dining rooms, or even kitchens and bathrooms, thanks to jute's natural water resistance. Versatile, affordable, and boasting an impressive 4.4/5 stars from 80 reviews, what’s not to love?
