Felt Rug Pads
For larger rugs that do not need a non-slip pad
Felt rug pads offer a dense, comfortable layer of cushion for larger rugs that do not need a non-slip pad. Our felt rug pads are available in three different thicknesses: 1/4", 1/3", and 1/2", so you can choose how much cushioning you want.
- Floor Protection: Felt rug pads protect floors from dents and scratches from heavy furniture legs and prevent abrasions from rough rug backings. Certain rug types, especially handmade and jute, can scratch floors and should always be paired with a felt rug pad.
- Rug Longevity: Felt rug pads will help prolong your rug life by absorbing stress from foot traffic and everyday wear and tear. They also serve as a protective buffer from dirt, the number one cause of rug degradation.
- Insulation & Soundproofing: Felt rug pads offer insulation and act as a dense sound barrier to mute floor noise, great for multifamily homes and apartments.
BEST FOR: Large area rugs, handmade rugs, and jute rugs on any floor type.

- Yet it's thin enough to hold rugs flat and keep them from lying flat.
BEST FOR: Stubbornly mobile small rugs and runners in high-traffic areas, hot and humid climates. Pair with fabric protection for best results.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A quality rug pad prevents slipping, protects your floors from scratches and dye transfer, reduces noise, adds cushion underfoot, and extends the life of your rug by absorbing impact and reducing wear on the fibers.
For hardwood and other finished floors, we recommend our Super Lock pad, which combines needle-punched felt with natural rubber. It grips the floor without adhesives and will not damage the finish. We help you choose the right pad for your specific floor type.
Yes. Every rug pad we provide is custom-cut to fit your rug. The pad should be slightly smaller than the rug (about 1 inch on each side) so it stays hidden and the rug edges lay flat.
Thickness depends on the rug and its location. We offer pads in 1/4 inch, 1/3 inch, and 1/2 inch options. Thicker pads provide more cushion and insulation, while thinner pads work better for low-profile rugs or under doors. We will recommend the right thickness for your situation.
A quality rug pad typically lasts 5 to 10 years depending on foot traffic and the weight of the rug. We recommend replacing the pad when you notice it has thinned, hardened, or started to crumble. Replacing the pad when you have your rug professionally cleaned is a convenient time to do so.
