Mohawk Home 8′ x 10′ 1/4 Rug Pad 100% Felt Protective Cushion, Premium Comfort Underfoot – Safe for All Floors, Grey

RECOMMENDED USE: This FELT ONLY rug pad is not intended to stop area rugs from slipping. These rug pads are crafted for use under area rugs that are anchored down by heavy items such as furniture, large household décor pieces, or heavier area rugs.
LONG-LASTING PROTECTION: The durable felt protects your flooring from long-term damage, such as scratches, scrapes, punctures, other types of abrasion wear, and discoloration from your area rug backing.
EXTEND LIFE OF RUG: Prevents area rugs from creasing, bunching, and wrinkling, and keeps your rug surface smooth on the floor to make vacuuming easier. (AREA RUG NOT INCLUDED)
CUSTOMIZABLE SIZING: Simply score the surface and trim your rug pad with scissors to fit any area rug size or shape by cutting approximately 1-2 inch short of your area rugs perimeter.

We recently installed new LVP flooring in our basement and needed a protective rug pad for our 8×10′ 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 8×10′ 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.

Great Rug pad! Reasonably priced…. I’m in the furniture & design industry – 37 years – I’d recommend to clients.

Extremely pleased with this underpad. Keeps my main area rug in place and adds quite a bit of cushioning for my old feet. I would highly recommend.

This padding made my rug look and feel thicker. It also created more of a sound barrier between the upstairs and downstairs level. It definitely made a huge difference having the sponge underneath the thin area rug. It’s a little shock absorber when walking across it.

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!

This pad added a much needed cushion for a thin area rug we have placed in our guest bedroom. I purchased this primarily because of its cost. I have used carpet tape to try to keep it in place, but because of its material, it does not adhere well and slides all over. If you have slick floors, spend a little more and get a pad with a slip resistant back.

3/8” pad was perfect for my 5×8 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.

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 8×10 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 8×10, 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.

I looked at several pads for an area rug we recently purchased. This was the best price and the quality is excellent. I didn’t want the thinnest and I didn’t want to pay the higher price for the thickest pad. But this is an excellent choice if your looking for not the thinnest pad but also not the most expensive yet gives your rug a bit of a cushion feel.

I bought the 1/4” thick – I believe the 1/2” might be too thick for comfort & too difficult to cut (box cutter worked better than scissors).
