In addition to helping prevent trip hazards accidentally caused by a heel of a shoe catching on the edge of the rug, rug pads sized slightly smaller also slow the premature wear and curling at the rug’s edge as it is walked on. Other benefits of a rug pad include: noise absorption, easier vacuuming and an added layer of comfort between your feet and the hard floor beneath.
Our rug pads can be easily be trimmed with scissors to match the exact size and shape of your rug so set up is a breeze. The way to determine what size your rug pad should be is simple. The rug pad should be about one inch less than your rug size on all four sides so it remains hidden. If the rug pad is slightly smaller than the rug, then the edges of the rug will taper to the floor.
Aside from helping to secure your rug in place, rug pads also preserves the life of your rug from every day wear-and-tear while protecting your flooring. Rug pads provide shock absorbency and comfort with a soft, supportive cushion foundation.
