Mohawk Home Rug Pad 6' x 9' 1/2" Thick Protective Cushioning

We recently installed new LVP flooring in our basement and needed a protective rug pad for our 8x10' 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 8x10' 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.

I'm so glad that I found this felt rug pad! I updated a room with a concrete floor and worried about the washable rug not having enough cushion if a toddler fell and bonked their head. This has alleviated that fear! Great cushion - almost like those under my regular carpet. And my feet aren't ice blocks when I go in that room with this cushion and the rug on top. Stays in place well. I didn't notice it having an odor that was unpleasant but definitely something similar to a new-carpet odor but less strong. I left the door open and the odor was gone within a few days. Not the prettiest thing to look at, but man it looks like it's going to last a long time. This was also one of the thickest rug pads I could find.

Good pure felt pad. I use this to cut out pieces to go under two bathroom rugs that has new LVT in it. I don't want their rubber backing to leave a mark on the floor over time so I got this. I was not too hard to cut. The only issue is the rugs slide kind of easily so you have to be aware of this. But they add good padding to the rugs which makes them a lot cushier.

This rug pad is very soft and substantial. It was bigger than the measurements so we had to cut it to fit under our rug but it was easy.

Where else on Amazon can you get this much rug pad for this price? I needed a 9x12 rug pad, which are so expensive. I spent less than my original option and got way more. We used a box cutter to cut it down. It’s not the smoothest or plushest, but it makes a huge difference for our thin rug and does the job. I just didn’t want to break the bank.

Solid pad, easy to trim, and good cushion. It does slide a bit though.

Exactly what was needed. This did not have a rubber back which is why I ordered it. I have hardwood floors that should only have felt against them and not rubber backing as directed by the flooring experts. The 1/4 inch thickness provided the right amount of softness when walked on. Once the carpet was placed on it and the coffee table there was no slipping. I will now be ordering the larger size for under my dining room table. Very pleased with this felt pad and the great price.

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 8x10 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 8x10, 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.

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

I just purchased a new area rug and wanted a better under pad than what I had (just a thin gripper pad). I have a .47 pile height area rug (8x10) and wanted a 1/4” under pad. Other reviews say it is not “non slipping” but with the heavy area rug on top, it isn’t sliding anywhere! Plus I have furniture resting on 3 edges. Cuts easy with regular scissors. I love the plushness of my area rug with this under pad. Cost was a good deal for this quality underpad. I would certainly recommend it for a larger area rug.
