Mohawk Home 7' x 10' 1/2 Rug Pad 100% Felt Protective Cushion, Premium Comfort Underfoot – Safe for All Floors

A+++ it's Mohawk so you know it's going to be a good product. Very easy to trim, it felt like a glove underneath my rug. If you're considering getting a pad, it's a must in my mind. This $35 pads going to save my $200 rug and give it maybe years more life. Though I doubt that I have this rug for years I'm sure I will change my taste, but I'm sure you get my meaning. This one is simply for non-slip it doesn't add anything to the comfort of the rug. I didn't notice any smell, the colors neutral, I could trim to fit easily, works well with my rug, and the construction is first rate!

We recently installed new LVP flooring in our basement and needed a protective rug pad for our 8x10' area rug. We initially tried the Mohawk grip felt rug pad but found out that our manufacturer didn't approve of the rubber backing so we went with this just felt version. We chose the 1/4" height which we found adequate if not just a bit high as it does raise the rug off the surface (see photo). Any larger and it would be a tripping hazard.The product arrived rolled and larger in size than our area rug so trimming was necessary. One side is rough to hold against the carpet and one is soft for the floor. We trimmed 2" off each side. The easiest way we found to trim it was to place the rug upside down, place the mat on top 2" offset from 2 corners and then trim the remaining two corners. We creased each and used a 4' straightedge to draw a line with a sharpie and we used a sharp boxcutter to make several small passes. We placed a remnant piece of carpet under the pad and cardboard so as to not cut through the rug.We've had the mat on for around one month now and on our 8x10' rug with some furniture on top have noticed no slipping. It gives perhaps a bit of cusion but not much but that wasn't our intent. We purchased it so that the rug would not scratch the flooring and for that it seems to be doing it's job.Overall I would say it's a good value and much cheaper than some competitor products.Positives+ Great price compared to competitors+ Seems like a well made product and from a reputable brand+ Different size options and comes larger to allow for trimming+ No noticeable smells or offgassing+ Doesn't move when weighted with furniture. Did not try it without. I would imagine a heavy large rug may be sufficient but a smaller rug would need some type of rubberish backing to prevent slipping.Negatives- Even at the 1/4" height at offset the recommended 2" from the sides it still sticks up a bit which can gather some dust and perhaps be a tripping hazard.- This may be both a positive and negative in that since it is so dense it can be difficult to cut properly. A sharp new blade and several passes with adequate pressure seemed to work best.

This is as described and lays nicely. It provides a nice amount of cushioning under the area rug and can be trimmed if needed.

We ordered a big bigger than we needed and cut it to fit. Its really nice and made our rug so cushioned. IT made a very ordinary rug feel and look high end.

This pad is great. It will slip on hard surfaces if you don't have something on it. This went in my living room on hardwood floor and with the furniture on it is perfect. Gives the already soft rug that extra cushion that's nice when it's on a hard surface. I was able to cut it easily with kitchen scissors, it just took a little longer. My son had a knife with a hook in it and it cut it super fast, just not as easy to keep straight (this was a 9x12 pad). Extra special about this one is that it was discounted because it was a "return". It didn't look like it had even been opened. I'm guessing someone got it, thought it wasn't fancy looking enough and sent it back. It's basically 1/2" pad you would find under carpet. It's going under a rug so I don't care what it looks like but I got it for about 30% less with the price at the time. That price has now gone up and my price for "returned" was about 50% less.

3/8” pad was perfect for my 5x8 living room rug. Fit edge to edge- no trimming needed. Gives right amount of cushion without elevating the rug to show the pad or create a trip hazard. The product description mentions pad is not slip resistant, so I anchored rug and pad by both couches. Consistent thickness unlike some foam pads and I do not feel the cold floor through the rug any longer.

After buying an inexpensive flat pad for under my new living room rug, I decided I wanted something better. Not disappointed with this pad! I needed to trim it, but cutting it was easy. It's made a world of difference. My rug now feels plush and is a delight to walk on.

It’s okay - the pad itself seems to be good quality & it is probably better for smaller rugs, but it is such a pain to deal with on an 8x10 rug. It’s impossible to do by yourself. Every time you try to adjust the rug to fit on the pad it slides with it so it’s pretty much not doable. The only way I was able to do it was to use my peel & stick corner pieces that I got to hold it down. This kept it in place to situate the rug; however, then it was too big and needed to be trimmed which was also difficult to do since I had already attached all the corners to the floor. Standard rugs are 8x10, plus that is what it is labeled as in the product description, so why is there extra that needs to be trimmed? It took me so long to get it to where it needed to be. I’m glad to have a pad under the rug now, but I would not recommend this product to anyone unless you have someone to help you - even then I could see it being difficult because it slides too much.
