Best Rug Pads of 2025

"I purchased a rug pad for my nursery, and it has been a game changer. My rug, which used to bunch up on the carpeted floor, now stays in place thanks to this affordable pad. I even added some heavy-duty Velcro for extra grip, and while it still shifts a little, it's much more functional and easy to vacuum!"

"I was concerned about sound bouncing off our tiled floor, so I got this rug pad. It was super easy to trim to fit my carpet, and while it’s advertised as anti-slip, I still notice a bit of movement. I might try using glue to secure them together."

"This rug pad has exceeded my expectations. It’s thick and supportive, and my rug hasn’t budged at all. I’m very satisfied with the quality and will definitely buy another one in the future!"

"I recently got this runner rug pad gripper, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The shipping was prompt, and it was well-packaged. The gripper holds my kilim rug firmly in place, eliminating the slip hazard. Even with heavy foot traffic, the rug stays put, and it adds comfort underfoot. I highly recommend it!"

"This product works perfectly to secure our rugs on hardwood floors. It provides a subtle stickiness that keeps the rug in place, and it's very easy to use. Plus, it adds a thickness that makes walking on the rugs more comfortable. Great value for the money!"

"I purchased the 8x10 size for my new rug, and it's even larger than the rug itself, which is great since I can cut the excess. So far, the rug hasn't moved an inch, and it feels very comfortable. Just a tip: having someone help you with the large format makes it easier to lay it flat."

"I purchased a 4x6 faux fur rug, and while it was wonderfully fuzzy, it lacked padding and had a slippery backing. I tried a different anti-slip pad, but it didn't work well. However, this pad solved all my problems! It’s exactly 4x6 feet and just shy of a half inch thick. It provides great comfort, and I love that the bottom surface grips my laminate floor while holding the rug securely. The uneven edges of the rug required me to trim the pad, which was a bit tricky with regular scissors, but my partner helped with industrial scissors, and it turned out great. Overall, I’m very happy with this product!"

"Having bought two Mohawk rug mats, I can confidently say they are well-constructed and easy to adjust to fit my needs. Once I placed the rug on the mat, it stayed put perfectly. I have a thin washable rug, and this mat provides excellent cushioning, making it comfortable to walk on. I’m thoroughly satisfied with my purchase!"

"This rug pad is a prime example of less is more. It’s not fancy but provides exactly what I need: reliable grip and cushioning. My hardwood floors tend to be slippery, but this pad keeps everything in place without any shifting or sliding. I appreciate how it adds a subtle layer of comfort without raising the rug's height too much, which is crucial for me. I highly recommend this straightforward and effective rug pad!"

"I love how this pad adds just enough cushion under my area rug. It was a bit oversized but I could easily trim it to the perfect size. The padding is firm yet comfortable, and my rug lays smoothly without any loftiness."

"While the pad was nice and soft, it turned out to be too slippery on my hardwood floors. I actually slipped and broke my wrist, which was unfortunate. I think it would be much better if one side had non-slip material."

"I absolutely love this pad! It's incredibly thick and feels amazing to walk on—a total game-changer for my carpet. I've tried others, but this one is far superior. If you want comfort and durability, this is the one to get!"

"These rug pads are just what I needed! Perfect softness and non-slip, they stay in place beautifully. The customer service was fantastic, showing great patience while assisting me. I would definitely order from them again!"

“I got this rug pad for my living room in the 8x10 size and it works great. The rug was a bit thin for our vinyl flooring, so we needed extra padding for comfort. This pad is perfect—it’s thick enough to enhance comfort without lifting the rug too high. The non-slip back keeps everything in place. I had to cut it down a little, which was tougher than I anticipated, but that just shows the quality of the pad. It came folded with a slight odor, but it dissipated quickly, and it laid flat in no time. Overall, I'm very happy with this rug pad and would recommend it to anyone needing a rug pad.”

“This is my second rugpadusa pad, and I plan to order more for my home. I got the 1/2" thickness for a 9'x12' rug in my dining room. I only had to trim it a bit to make the rug touch the floor, but I prefer that over having a pad that’s too small! It makes the rug feel luxurious and expensive. My 65 lbs pup loves using the rug for zoomies, and this pad keeps it in place every time. Definitely worth the price!”

“I absolutely love this rug pad—I'm even using it instead of a rug! The gorgeous white/gray color works perfectly, and my Roomba has no trouble climbing it. It has a thick and luxurious feel, ideal for thinner rugs. I’d definitely buy it again. It arrived rolled and folded in half, but now it lays absolutely flat!”

"I love how soft and plush this pad feels under my rug. It has truly transformed my living space into a cozy retreat!"

"As an elderly person, I really appreciate how these pads keep my rugs in place; I can't afford any falls in my home. I ordered several to use under my carpets, and they work wonderfully. I even bought more to stop my cutlery from slipping in the drawer. Thank you for a fantastic product that shipped quickly!"

"I purchased an 8 x 10 rug pad, and it was folded neatly, unfolded easily, and stayed put exactly where I wanted it! It's perfect under my thin rug to prevent it from sliding. There's no strange smell, and everything met my expectations. Just keep in mind, it doesn’t offer much cushioning—just solid grip!"

"This rug pad is just what I needed. It's easy to cut to fit my rug, and now the rug stays put without any sliding."
