Best Rug Pads With Reviews

I had no idea what I was missing! Those waffle-weave foam mats are trash compared to this! Was sick of my vintage Turkish kilin shifting and crumpling when playing with my toddler so decided to splurge on a better rug mat. Didn’t think it would make a huge difference but needed to try something. WOW! Rug sits smoother and squarer, holds in place for anything from playtime (twister anyone!) to vacuuming, and I can vacuum the mat, including the edges without issue. It adds a bit of moderate padding too. Our mat is the exact perfect size for our rug, which I like. If they don’t have your size I would order up and cut, rather than having a lip where it ends under the rug

I hadn't really considered needing a pad for under my area rugs before, but the rug that I purchased for in front of my entryway door needed something to keep it from moving around when people or dogs were going in and out; this pad is perfect. While the rug didn't really need the padding, it added just a little 'cush' to the rug; our dogs have found a new favorite place to lay. I will be buying a few more for the area rugs in my sun room and living room; not because they are needed to stabilize the rugs, but it does make a big difference in the feel when you walk on them. Yes, I would recommend these pads.

A Must-Have for Every Outdoor Rug! I recently purchased the **Wayfair Basics Abarca Deluxe Grip Outdoor Non-Slip Rug Pad**, and it has exceeded all expectations! This product is a game-changer for anyone who has struggled with outdoor rugs shifting or bunching up. It holds my rug securely in place, even with the wind picking up. The grip it provides is incredibly strong, yet it doesn't damage or leave any residue on my floor. The quality is outstanding – the pad is thick, durable, and provides extra cushion, which has made a noticeable difference in the comfort of my outdoor space. It's also weather-resistant, so I don't have to worry about it wearing out after being exposed to the elements. What I appreciate most is that it does exactly what it promises: no slipping, no bunching, just a perfectly secure rug. This pad is an essential accessory for anyone with an outdoor rug. If you're looking for a reliable, high-quality solution to keep your outdoor area neat and safe, I can't recommend this enough! **Pros:** - Excellent grip that prevents slipping and shifting - Weather-resistant and durable - Adds extra comfort with its cushioning - No damage or residue left on surfaces **Cons:** - A little thicker than expected, but this actually works to its advantage! Definitely worth the investment – a fantastic product from Wayfair!

But have not used it yet. Note: Outdoor rug needed to be back-ordered and won't be here until fall. The rug is the only product we have had to be back-ordered - first time. It will be worth the wait - it is exactly what I wanted. Don't mind waiting for the rug and holding the rug pad. I have ordered this rug pad before and it is great. Thanks.

It arrived within a few days of order. When I opened the zippered plastic bag it shipped in I was overcome with a nasty petro chemical odor. I couldn't place it but it was way overpowering. Decided to place it on my concrete driveway here in Florida where we've had nothing but desert heat and high wind. After more than a dozen afternoons in the sun it still stinks. It's down to maybe 3/4 of the stench when it arrived, but doesn't seem to be improving any more. Now I can identify the smell as being similar to a new garden hose. But a hundred times stronger. I'd like to return it but managed to get a few small stains on it from using tools to hold it down in the wind. I'm going to call customer service and see what they think. If not for the smell it would do the job nicely. I'm just worried that evidence of the Chineese using lead and other hazardous chemicals in some of their consumer products, I wonder what kind of chemicals they used to produce this pad as the smell won't dissapate. Do yourself a favor and find another material to use.

This is the first time I have purchased a grip pad for an area rug. Liked the fact it measured just a bit less that the rug size so did not need to 'trim' to fit, as s many seem to need/mention, so much less hassle and it does not (so far) seem to shed or leave any residue on the floors. It makes the rug a lot more 'comfy' and does not move at all, I have hardwood flooring. Found with just the 'rug' on the boards it moved over time even with chairs and coffee table on it. Would thoroughly recommend it alone for its sizing but has a lot more than that going for it - would certainly purchase again. I have some runners that could do with pads and this pad has the bonus of many size options.

This is the rug pad you need for all those cotton rugs you don’t want sliding all over the place. Keeps them in place with no sliding at all. Has great grip on the bottom. There is mininal pad but that’s what I need so my door can still go over the rug when opened.

I was introduces to your company by my friend and I must say... I have been nothing but thrilled with every item I purchased! Starting from the online catalog. ordering, receiving everything, including a table and chair set not only on time but, early!! Quality was excellent, no missing parts, easy to follow instructions. Colors were true, and most of all, the price was fair! Returning customer? Four times now!

Thank you so much! Basically the security where I put the non- slip rug pads make my own safety and security where the rugs in the bathroom ,kitchen and entrance are now free of danger and the necessaries out seeds the price ! Thank you so much! -Paula

I purchased this along with the Lilah Taupe Area Rug. I am glad I did. The rug is thin and definitely needed something to hold it in place. This pad is thin but I didn't want anything thick and bulky. Served just the purpose I needed.

This is by far the best rug pad I’ve ever purchased. I have bought the thick felt kind but didn’t quite like the way I felt the drop bump underneath from where the rug pad stopped , also it wasn’t as non slip as advertised.I’ve also tried the cheaper foam pad and though they worked, they also bunch up and rugs don’t stick to it as much as I’d like . This one on the other hand stick so we’ll to my wooden floors that I needed help to reposition it , and it grips my rug and keeps it in place .It’s perfect , it’s thin which is what I was looking for and it’s a great quality pad ! To those questioning it , Don’t hesitate , you won’t regret your decision.

This is a pretty decent rug pad. It added the extra cushion we needed to our daughter’s rug we purchased (also on wayfair) for her new room. We didn’t put an extra non-slip pad down since we have her queen sized bed on top, and had no issues with it sliding (although if we had it elsewhere in the house, we would probably add one). It arrived quickly and was easy to roll out. I am deducting one star because although we bought a pad that was supposed to fit her rug, we still had to trim a decent size off. This wasn’t a big problem, but if we didn’t had the decent scissors we had, it probably would have been a much bigger pain. Overall though, a good pad, and I would consider ordering another for the right location.

Recently I bought the Maritime Oriental rug and I needed to find a rug pad for it. This rug pad fit the bill perfectly. I wanted one that was thick enough to give more cushion to my rug but not so thick that with the rug on top that I would trip on the edge. Its very durable and I know it will help preserve my rug for years to come. Theres a rough side that faces the floor and the softer side faces thee bottom of the rug. I was a bit concerned when I saw the box it came in. It was smaller than I thought it would be. The concern was that if it was folded, would the pad lay flat No need for concern though. Once it was out of the box it lay perfectly flat. I would recommend this rug pad to anyone looking for good quality and a great price. Thanks again Wayfair! You came through again!

This is a great Rug Pad. I've purchased others in the past that just don't hold the rug(s) in place and seem to over short time spans lose there "grip" but this one has done well. It holds a 2 by 8 foot runner in place in a very active kitchen walk way. I'm ordering a second one and not bothering with going to a nearby store for convenience. I'd rather go with the sure thing.

I was a little puzzled as to which side of the pad should face the rug and which side should face the floor. I decided to have the "flatter" side facing the floor. Hope I made the right choice. Pad is just enough smaller than the rug that I didn't have to do any trimming of it. It adds just enough but not too much cushioning. Seems to be working out well.

I was so excited to find this waterproof rug pad. We found that our regular rug pad was not adequately protecting our hard wood floors from spills and moisture. These are perfect though - totally waterproof for spills or pet stains, so my floors are protected. They are very thin, so they can be used along with your existing rug pad. These are also great under our front door mat. Our no slip pad was too thick and the door didn't clear the height of the rug pad and rug combined. This one is thin enough and adds some extra protection for the floors from wet shoes and umbrellas in the rainy weather.

I love the things I bought. The only thing I forgot was the pillow cases to match my sheets. So I will order them soon. Also the hanging plant is great. Now do you sell hanging plants for the balcony .It needs to have a base that is not breakable. Sorry I can not send a photos I don't know how. Irene

It was very important to me that the pads be low in VOCs which was a little frustrating to find because no matter how I searched they kept all coming up. I haven't used the pad yet because I'm waiting until the house is painted to put down my new area rugs from Wayfair which I just love. I needed a pad that could be cut because none of the sizes were right for the rugs I bought. They seem well made with thin cushioning which is exactly what I need because one area rug will be partially under a sectional recliner. I did take one of the pads & put it under half of the smallest area rug & you can feel a definite difference plus the rug will be staying in place. If you are looking for a pad that doesn't add thickness to your rug & nice little cushioning this is the one for you. I'm very happy with my purchase of 3 of these pads! I highly recommend if you are looking for all the things I was in an area rug pad! The price was also a great value! Pros: Low VOCs, can be cut with scissors, nice little cushioning without adding a lot of thickness to rugs, the rug will not be slipping anywhere & 15yr Manufacturers Warranty!!! Cons: None!

Really nice rug pad for use under a thinner rug on a hard surface. I originally ordered a 1/4" pad but felt it was just a bit too thick for use under a thinner jute rug. An important note about the sizing - Please note that the size of the pad indicates the size of rug it will fit under. It is not the size of the pad itself. It will be 2-3" smaller so it doesn't show around the edges of your rug. In my case, I ordered an 8ft round. That would be 96in, but the pad measured around 93". This is perfectly fine and totally intentional. Just keep this in mind when purchasing.

I purchased this nonslip rug pad a long time ago, and I’ve been using it ever since. One of the standout positives is how easy it was to cut to the perfect size for my rugs. I also appreciated the flexibility in sizing—it was available in exactly the dimensions I needed, which was a big plus. After all this time, the pad is still holding up just as well as it did on day one, showing no signs of wear or deterioration. It definitely offers more grip than having nothing underneath my rugs. However, on my LVP flooring, it doesn’t provide as much traction as I was hoping for. There are times when the pad slips out and becomes visible, and quite often, the entire rug setup shifts and slides out of place. This can be a bit frustrating, as I was hoping for a more secure hold. Overall, it’s better than nothing, and its durability is impressive. However, if you’re looking for a super secure nonslip solution, you may need to look for a pad with a stronger grip—especially if you have similar flooring.
