A quality rug pad will protect your floors and keep your rug anchored in place. We recommend to protect the rug from wearing down unevenly. Non-slip pads are best for high-traffic areas such as foyers and hallways, where thin rugs and runners are prone to slipping and sliding. Our cushion pads add a plush layer for large rugs already anchored by furniture, such as living and dining rooms. Should you decide you need a degree of both grip and cushioning, Choose it for strong grip, unbeatable floor protection, and moderate cushioning — all without adding unwanted bulk or height to your rug. This pad’s coarse felt upper layer grabs and holds the bottom of your rug to prevent bunching and wrinkling, while the non-slip natural rubber backing keeps rugs anchored firmly to your floors.
