A pad underevery rug.

We recommend padding under all rugs. It keeps a rug from moving and wrinkling, protects it from wear, and plays a large part in how long it lasts.

The two pads we carry.

  • A rug corner turned back over a thin Non Skid Plus natural rubber pad

    Non Skid Plus

    Made of all-natural rubber. It keeps your rug in place while protecting the knots on the back of the rug.

Questions

What people ask

We recommend a pad under every area rug. It protects the rug from wear, stops it moving and wrinkling, makes it easier to vacuum and plays a large part in how long the rug lasts.

On a hard floor a good pad is a safety issue: it stops the rug sliding. Small rugs can be particularly dangerous without one.

Non Skid Plus is all-natural rubber: it holds the rug in place and protects the knots without adding height. The Premium Pad adds a felt-like layer on the same rubber grip, so it is thicker and softer underfoot.

We cut the pad to your rug, so it sits just inside the edges and cannot be seen.
