Mohawk Home 10' x 14' 3/8 Rug Pad 100% Felt Protective Cushion, Premium Comfort Underfoot – Safe for All Floors

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.

This pad will preserve my 10,000 dollar wood floor! It is durable with a soft side I put next to the wood, while textured o the other side (grips well with my rug). You will need furniture to keep the rug from sliding. Don't worry about buying the bigger size because it is easy to trim as long as you have fabric scissors. Great for the price. I bought the 1/4 inch thickness 9' × 12.

Feel comfortable after I put this under by carpet, but still have some noise when I walk on top of it. But over all, it’s pretty good, no strong smells

I love this pad! I have a washable rug and it’s very thin. This pad made such a difference! Now it’s very soft to walk on it. I got the 1/4 thick and it’s very good cushion. I put one of the rubber pad underneath it so it won’t slide on my hardwood floor.

This was thicker than I expected. Very pleased with results. Great price and value.

Made a huge difference in the comfort and temperature of our living room. Did have to trim a little bit. I wish I had gotten this when we moved in instead of 4 years of no padding.

We really liked the pad. Works as expected.

I ordered this twice, both times it came an incorrect size. I had to cut it down to fit. The second mat is also slippery. Every time I step on my rug it about throws me down. I’m going to break a leg if I don’t replace it. Ugh!!!
