Description
Samson is a draught excluder shaped like a long, lolloping dog, made from soft faux fur in a natural beige with a slightly darker brown across the ears, the muzzle and the tip of the tail. A small white bow tie sits at the neck, just below the head, and the whole body stretches out flat to lie snug along the base of a door. It measures 88cm long by 10cm wide, so it spans the width of a standard interior door with a little to spare and stays low enough to sit unobtrusively on the floor.
This is a piece for the foot of any door where cold air creeps in: the front door, a hallway, a draughty bedroom or the gap under a living room door in winter. Because it is a novelty shape rather than a plain tube, it reads as an ornament as much as a functional item, and it suits a room that leans playful or a child's bedroom where a friendly dog by the door is part of the appeal. Set it against a hard floor or a low skirting board and it works equally well; the flat underside keeps it steady rather than rolling.
The outer is faux fur and the filling is a poly fibre, which gives it enough weight to stay put once you lay it down and enough give to press against an uneven gap. Polyester faux fur is hard-wearing and holds its pile well, and the neutral tone means it will not clash with paint or flooring. It is a single self-contained unit with no cover to remove. If your household already leans towards these soft novelty pieces, Samson is an easy one to add by a door that needs it.

It lies flat along the floor against the base of a door, with a flat underside that keeps it steady rather than rolling out of position.
