If you have a rug that slips and slides around when you step on it, you might need a rug pad! Rug pads are primarily used to keep your area rug in place. They also add some padding and space underneath your rug, separating it from the flooring underneath and adding an extra layer of protection for the hard flooring underneath.
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.
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.
