Super Shadow Emerald Round Rug - Sonic Chair Mat

Super Shadow hovers in a blaze of golden light, arms crossed and red eyes narrowed, at the heart of this Sonic round rug. Seven Chaos Emeralds circle him like planets, a space colony rises over a blue Earth behind his shoulders, and the whole scene is laid out for the circle so nothing gets cropped or lost at the edge.

A circle suits this picture better than a rectangle ever could. It softens the hard corners of a bedroom or den, tucks under a desk chair, and gives a gaming corner a clear center. Drop it down and the room starts to organize itself around Shadow.

The Design: Gold Over Midnight

The palette hits first. Deep navy and midnight black form the field, scarlet fills the gaps between the ornaments, and thick gold scrollwork ties everything together. Shadow glows pale yellow with red streaks running through his quills, the look of his super form, and his aura matches the gold of the border so he seems carved into the pattern rather than pasted on top.

Each Chaos Emerald sits in its own gold medallion: red at the top, then orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple moving around the ring. Between them you will spot crescent moons, dark red roses, his red-and-white shoes at the four diagonals and sharp crimson arrowheads pointing inward. The outer band repeats gold rings and small cut gems. Think cathedral window crossed with a baroque ballroom floor.

Super Shadow on the Floor

The surface is a soft plush low-pile that feels good underfoot and keeps the gold and gem colors rich. A dye-sublimation print sets the color into the fibers, so the reds and blues stay saturated instead of sitting on top like a coating. Underneath, a non-slip rubber backing grips hard floors such as wood, tile and laminate. Care is easy, because the rug is machine washable on a gentle cold cycle, then air-dried.

Slide it under the desk and it works as a chair mat with far more personality than a plain plastic sheet. In a larger size it becomes a round area rug that anchors a whole corner. Beside a bed, a smaller one acts as a bold accent rug. As a gaming room rug, it gives the monitor and console a bright center to gather around.

Sizes & Rug Level

Six diameters are available, from 80 cm (31.5″) up to 180 cm (70.9″), with 100, 120, 140 and 160 cm in between. The 80 and 100 cm sizes fit under a desk chair or beside a bed. Choose 120 or 140 cm for a reading nook or a kids' corner. At 160 and 180 cm the rug becomes the center of a seating area, and the full ring of emeralds has room to show.

Standart Level is solid everyday quality for daily use. Premium Level adds a thicker, plusher pile and a more durable backing for rooms that see heavy traffic.

Quick Questions

Is it machine washable?

Yes. Use a gentle cold cycle and air-dry it, and the gold and gem colors stay put because the print is set into the fibers.

Does it slip on hard floors?

No. The rubber backing grips wood, tile and laminate, so Shadow stays centered even when you sit down and shift your chair.

Can I put it over carpet?

Yes, it lies flat over low-pile carpet. The emerald ring stays crisp and the edges do not bunch up.

Which size should I choose?

A 100 cm rug covers a desk chair's reach. To show all seven emeralds as a centerpiece, go 140 cm or larger.
