wanna help me find a rug?

i have a bit of empty floor space in my living room that i like to use as an area to lie down and read or take a nap. the carpet isn't all that soft so i want to soft and cushiony rug.

what's a good place to look for a large (around 6' x 6'), affordable ($150 or less) and SOFT rug? i kind of like this big orange/pink/cream rug that target is carrying right now, but i'm in no hurry so i might as well look into other options....

forget the rug. just buy a bunch of flat pillows and lay them down. you can move them around, stack them, and fold them to make something comfortable to lay down on.

v3 and I saw some of Michael Lin's work at one of the contemporary museums in Taiwan.

He uses old patterns that aren't in style and makes huge floor paintings out of the patterns.
