This design makes it especially good for high-traffic areas, or if you have pets or kids who like to move rugs around. This pad comes in many sizes and costs roughly twice as much as the Mohawk Home. No-Muv, the company that makes Durahold pads, offers a year warranty. This pad is thinner than most others we tested, making it versatile enough for placement anywhere, and you can easily cut it to fit rugs of any size. While felt-and-rubber pads generally perform better than rubber-only mesh pads, the Rug Pad USA Super Lock Natural is a great option if you have low-profile doors or prefer a thinner, non-felt type of pad.
This rubber pad feels nearly as cushiony as our felt picks but at a fraction of the thickness, and it offers exceptional grip. Nonetheless, for living room, bedroom, or hallway rugs, we recommend choosing our main or upgrade pick, as either of those pads will boost the longevity of your rugs even further.
Rug pads can help rugs stay put, provide cushioning, protect floors, and extend the life of a rug. You may not need a rug pad if your rugs already have a rubberized nonskid backing. For this guide, we focused on rug pads that can work on wood, tile, or other hard floors; we did not look at pads or tape intended for use on wall-to-wall carpeting. If you've been using a cheap rug pad, like the thin felt ones sold at IKEA, you'll probably be surprised by how much a good pad improves the feel of your area rug.
The rug will slip less and feel much more cushioned underfoot. The pad should be smaller than your area rug by 1 to 2 inches on all sides, according to rug pad makers and sellers.
If you have a good-quality pad, you should not need any additional adhesives to hold it in place. A great rug pad should have firm but supportive cushioning and keep a strong grip on both your rug and the floor; it should also fit the dimensions of your rug, and it should not damage your floors over years of wear. Rug pads can be made from many materials, including PVC, rubber, felt, or memory foam. Generally, the best rug pads combine a layer of synthetic felt with natural-rubber backing. Felt and rubber: Our experts agreed that felt backed with rubber was superior to other pad types because the felt provides cushion underfoot while the rubber backing excels at gripping the floor and preventing slips.
Even if it does, the soft texture of the pad will protect your floor. Additionally, the extra cushion and support that a rug pad provides can help keep the pile from crushing, which helps keep the rug looking better, longer. Rug pads promote airflow through the rug. This has two major benefits when it comes to cleaning and maintaining your rug.
First, the circulating air goes a long way toward preventing harmful and foul-smelling bacteria from growing. Second, that airflow minimizes friction when vacuuming, making that chore much easier. They will only provide a minimal amount of additional cushion and sound absorption. Felt-and-rubber pads like the Super-Loc pads we sell on Rugs. These thick pads provide the ultimate in comfort, sound absorption, and insulation from the floor beneath the rug. Choosing which type of rug pad you need, and what size, is simple.

Even rugs that are anchored by furniture can shift, causing them to buckle and bunch up, and creating tripping hazards.
Like the cushion under a wall-to-wall carpet , a good rug pad helps to protect the area rug from wear and tear by absorbing the majority of the impact from foot traffic. The pad is designed to compress and bounce back even a firm pad will do this slightly which takes the strain off of the rug fibers.
Without a pad underneath to act as a shock absorber, the area rug fibers will be crushed, and the rug will show signs of wear much sooner than it would with a proper pad. Regardless of the type of floor covering underneath your area rug, it needs to be protected.
Area rug backings can sometimes be rough, which could cause scratches on hardwood or another type of hard surface floor. Other things that could pose a risk to the underlying floor include color transfer from the rug, the possibility of a small stone or other sharp object being caught underneath the rug, and abrasive wear on the surface of the underlying floor caused by the area rug shifting with foot traffic.
A rug pad provides a protective barrier between the area rug and the floor underneath. Even wall-to-wall broadloom on which an area rug has been laid requires the use of a rug pad.
