Mohawk Home Felt Rug Pad 12' x 15' - 3/8 Inch Thick Cushion for Area Rugs, Protective Underlay for Hardwood Floors, Comfort and Insulation – Felt Only Pad

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.

Good price compared to others. It is a 1/4” thick felt pad as described. I ordered the 8x10 and cut about 6” off the sides so my rug over hangs the padding. Easy to cut with scissors. This goes under the dining table so no issues with slippage. Just opened so I don’t have a view on durability but I mainly bought it to protect my LVP flooring.

Product is slightly larger than 5'x7'- trimming it will be annoying, but it's definitely better to be over than under. It's also not cut square. The the carpet is definitely nicer to walk on with the padding under it, though it does feel a little uneven due to variations in the recycled material. Shipped folded, not rolled, but didn't hold any creases and lays perfectly flat under my rug. The product came in a plastic bag with holes exposing the product to weather, but no signs of damage. I suggest selecting the option to have amazon put it in a box. I'm confident it will protect my wood floor from any more abrasion from the rug. I thoroughly washed and shined the floor before replacing the rug, so I'm not surprised it slides around a bit. I expect it to settle in time.

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.

I was a little cautious after reading the reviews regarding sizing and trimming of the pad but ended up being pleasantly surprised. The rug pad itself is great quality with nice cushioning effect. It was easy to tailor to my rug and I had no issue cutting it with Ryiobi scissors. It has no odor and while it arrived folded in the box it flattened within 12 hours of being unwrapped without even leaving weight on it. I think it’s a really solid value for the money and I intend to repurchase for my other rugs.

I ordered a 4X6 Skyrim rug for my son's hardwood bedroom floor. The rug is pretty, but very thin, so it needed a pad under it. When I researched pads, I was shocked that most of them cost as much as the rug itself (about $70 or more), just for a 4X6 pad. Then I found this one. Of course I've heard of the Mohawk brand, and it got pretty good reviews, so I took a chance. I figured at the cost I wouldn't be out much if it didn't work. It is terrific! It adds some much-needed padding to my son's rug, and now he can actually sit on it to read and play. I will say this rug pad is not non-slip, so you might want something rubberized under it too. I happened to have one of those mesh rubberized pads, so I put that down first, then this pad, then the actual rug, and it's great. I highly recommend it! The pad is slightly bigger than the 4X6 advertised, at least the one I got was. I trimmed off (with a little difficulty, since it is pretty thick) about three or so inches from the top and about the same from the side. I used regular scissors to trim it. If you don't have sharp scissors, you might be able to do it with an Exacto knife or box cutter. The pad came loosely folded, so it had a few creases in it, but when I put it down and put the rug down on top of it, the creases pressed out nicely.

This pad is a GREAT deal and I love the option of different thicknesses. It says its made in the USA which is the #1 reason why i chose it. It does NOT smell and was easy to trim to size. I am highly sensitive to odors and i didnt have an issue.

This pad is too thin, very slippery (be careful!) before placing furniture on and has much errant debris falling off.

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.
