I even have them in the master bathroom. (Tile around the toilet and the rest is carpeted) Love them on my bare feet getting out of the shower. Never had a problem. The grandkids love playing on them...so do the dogs. They can sleep anywhere and be comfortable. They are especially nice in cold weather areas. Wouldn't like them down South.
