Rug Pad

Why Use a Rug Pad?

• Protects Your Rug: Prevents wear and tear by reducing friction with the floor.
• Improves Safety: Keeps rugs securely in place to minimize slipping and bunching.
• Adds Comfort: Provides an extra layer of cushioning for a softer underfoot feel.
• Extends Rug Life: Reduces strain on the rug fibers, preserving its beauty over time.

How to Choose the Right Rug Pad

• Consider Your Flooring Type:
  • Hardwood or Tile: Opt for a felt-and-rubber combination pad to protect the finish and prevent sliding.
  • Carpet: A rug pad with a grippy surface works best to keep rugs from shifting.
• Check Rug and Room Size:
  • Select a rug pad that's slightly smaller than your rug to ensure it stays hidden and doesn't create an uneven edge.
• Match Thickness to Your Needs:
  • Thicker pads (e.g., ¼ inch) add extra cushioning and are ideal for living rooms or bedrooms.
  • Thinner pads (e.g., ⅛ inch) work well for high-traffic areas or under doors.
• Prioritize Durability:
  • Choose high-quality materials like natural rubber, felt, or a blend to ensure long-lasting performance.
• Look for Non-Slip Features:
  • A non-slip bottom is essential, especially for rugs placed on slick surfaces like tile or laminate.
