(on hardwood floors?)** A: The softer more plush side is what you want touching your floors. Neither side is harmful but softer side down.. **Q: Which side of the pad goes on the floor and which side faces the rug? There is a texture on one side of the pad. I'm wondering if it matters.** A: http://www.rugpadcorner.com/2013/10/08/which-side-of-felt-rug-pad-goes-down/This smoother side is meant to be used up against the back of an area rug. The other side is a little fuzzier and softer and it goes against the hard floor. The reason for this is to prevent any scratching or damage to hardwood floors. It is argued that the smoother side provides a stiffer foundation for the back of the area rug, adding to the protection of the rug. Based on this, always place a felt rug pad softer side down against the floor. **Q: is this wool or cotton felt?** A: Why are there shiny bits of plastic in this felt? **Q: Can you cut a 9 X12 pad slightly smaller?** A: The seller will do this for you, at no additional fee. Just type the dimensions into the "gift message" box at the time of purchase. OR, if you already have this in your possession,it's easy to cut with a proper tool, for example: 1) a sheet rock knife, 2) a carpet knife or 3) WIRE CUTTER (this is what I used, and it was sooooo much easier than with my sheet rock knife. Best Wishes! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice pad! *by E***T on January 16, 2025* I'm really glad the product details specified that this rug pad is NOT non-slip. That's really important to note, because it is DEFINITELY slippy. But that's okay for my use, as all 3 that I ordered are going to be anchored under heavy furniture. Just make sure that will be good for your use case, too.That said, the pad itself is great! All 3 that I ordered (1/4 inch, 8x10) arrived on time and were well packaged. Coming out of the package, I was pleasantly surprised that there was no smell or anything. And they were rolled up, so there weren't really any folds that I had to get out. The pads are all the same size and thickness... which, when it comes to size, is bigger by at least an inch than all of my 8x10 rugs. That's okay, though, I'd rather they be bigger than smaller, and they're easy to cut with a good pair of scissors. So no issues there! As far as thickness, they make SUCH a difference! My rugs feel much more plush and cushy.I'll be honest, I didn't want to spend the money on rug pads. But I'm moving into a new house, and moving from wall to wall carpeting to hardwood floors and area rugs, and my mother *insisted* that I get these. I chose these specific pads because they looked pretty good, and more importantly, they were cheap. And I hate to say it... but my mom was right. My rooms feel MUCH more cozy after I added these pads under my rugs. I was prepared to not really notice a difference, given the price on these, but instead I'm left feeling like I got a great value! So yeah, great rug pads, definitely recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best rug pads for the money *by B***L on April 8, 2025* excellent rug pad, one side soft, another side has a little of dried adhesive, put soft side down on the floor, the other side towards the rug, standard gray color as expected, has some shedding at first, but not bad, no weird smell, good padding, went with middle thickness and it's the right decision for my use, easy to use, easy to clean ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Rug Pad Ever! No Exaggeration! *by N***E on March 14, 2025* Best Rug Pad hands down. I have allergies and also do not want anything toxic in my home. This felt pad is thick, absolutely no smell (which is huge), packed extremley well and feels amazing under my rug. I am so pleased and finally found an amazing product. Forget the rest of them, buy this! I would recommend highly and it is worth it price in gold. ## Frequently Bought Together - RUGPADUSA - Basics - 5'x8' - 1/2" Thick - 100% Felt - Protective Cushioning Rug Pad - Safe for All Floors and Finishes Including Hardwoods - Home Techpro Vacuum Tech Rug Pad Gripper for Hardwood Floors No Damage, New Materials to Non Slip Rug Pads, Under Rug Carpet Tape : Keep Your Rug in Place & Make Corner Flat --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/12624029-basics-5x8-1-2-thick-100-felt-protective-cushioning-rug](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/12624029-basics-5x8-1-2-thick-100-felt-protective-cushioning-rug) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
