Mohawk Home Felt Rug Pad 5' x 8' - 3/8 Inch Thick Cushion for Area Rugs, Protective Underlay for Hardwood Floors, Comfort and Insulation – Felt Only Pad

Easy to cut off excess to fit Persian rug. It will not secure rug but we read that. Our dining room table is on top and not needed. Exactly the type our research said we should have to maintain the value of the Persian. Feels nice walking on rug. A bit too pricey

This rug pad makes our carpet so much softer to walk on. The thickness is 1/2 inch, (is cut from a full piece of felt) and a perfect fit for the 8 x 10' length, leaving a 2" border for the carpet to cover the underpad. We cannot speak to durability yet, but the underpad seems very sturdy. The felt glides softly over the hardwood but we will be placing furniture on top, so we do not anticipate a slipping issue. Delivery to Canada was just over a week from the US. We couldn't be more pleased with overall quality. We are ordering a second pad today. Highly recommend this company!

Good quality under carpet

We bought this to go under a new 9x12 area rug in our living room. I hemmed and hawed as to whether I should get one with the rubber on one side but since the rug itself is decently heavy and wasn’t sliding around on our new floor at all without the carpet pad I decided against a rubber sided one. So for us, this was not for keeping the carpet in place at all (which the directions warn against buying this one for that purpose) but because we wanted the extra plushness underfoot. It was folded in a giant square twice over (I think) and wrapped in plastic for shipping, no box. It unfolded easily with creases flattening out. There are two slightly different textures on each side - one plain felt and the other kind of like a textured netting almost. I wasn’t sure which side to place where but put the semi-textured side against the back of the carpet and the plain felt against the floor. The area rug hasn’t budged at all, although we do now also have a couch anchoring one end (which the directions say to do if using a non-rubber sided carpet pad). I don’t think that would’ve mattered for us however because before we put the new couch in the room there was nothing on the area rug for over a week and it didn’t move an inch or slide at all. The carpet pad was slightly longer than the rug in length. We lucked out that we were able to position it so that end has the couch on it and is back against a wall so we didn’t feel the need to trim it since no one would see it. There is absolutely no smell. Price was excellent, way better than other brands for the same thing, felt high quality, and the 1/4” suits us perfect. Highly recommend.
