Rug Pads

What Are Rug Pads For?

Chances are, you have a rug somewhere in your home that always bunches up or slides around when you step on it.

There’s a simple solution to your dilemma, and that’s a rug pad. Keep you, your family, and your guests safe from tripping and falling over a loose rug.

Rug pads help your rug stay in place, keeping it safe and looking great. They also create additional space and padding beneath a rug, helping keep the flooring underneath clean and adding an extra layer of comfort. The thicker the cushion on your rug pad, the more comfort and protection you gain. Rug pads can also help to protect your floors by preventing an area rug from scratching, scraping, and otherwise harming your beautiful floors. Consider area rug pads as an investment in your area rug and your existing floors!

Two Types of Rug Pads

Rug pads have different uses depending on the material from which they’re made. We offer general rug pads and premium rug pads to our customers.

General Rug Pads

General rug pads are made from a slip-resistant webbed material, and largely prevent your rug from sliding out from underneath you when you step on it. You can order a roll and cut it to size, or order a pre-cut pad in the specific size you need. General rug pads come at a lower cost than premium rug pads.

Premium Rug Pads

Premium felt or polyester blend pads are coated to help them stick to the floor, offering extra protection against movement. They also help to prevent scratches under the rug and are best for adding comfortable padding. Premium rug pads cost a bit more than general rug pads as they provide additional support and defense against potential sliding and bunching up of your area rug.

Both types of rug pads can be used together, but you should always have at least one under every rug in your home. Shop our huge collection of rug pads to find the right one for you!
