Mohawk Home Felt Rug Pad 10' x 14' - 1/4 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.

We bought this to go under a new 9x12 area rug in our living room. I hemmed and hawed as to whether I should get one with the rubber on one side but since the rug itself is decently heavy and wasn’t sliding around on our new floor at all without the carpet pad I decided against a rubber sided one. So for us, this was not for keeping the carpet in place at all (which the directions warn against buying this one for that purpose) but because we wanted the extra plushness underfoot. It was folded in a giant square twice over (I think) and wrapped in plastic for shipping, no box. It unfolded easily with creases flattening out. There are two slightly different textures on each side - one plain felt and the other kind of like a textured netting almost. I wasn’t sure which side to place where but put the semi-textured side against the back of the carpet and the plain felt against the floor. The area rug hasn’t budged at all, although we do now also have a couch anchoring one end (which the directions say to do if using a non-rubber sided carpet pad). I don’t think that would’ve mattered for us however because before we put the new couch in the room there was nothing on the area rug for over a week and it didn’t move an inch or slide at all. The carpet pad was slightly longer than the rug in length. We lucked out that we were able to position it so that end has the couch on it and is back against a wall so we didn’t feel the need to trim it since no one would see it. There is absolutely no smell. Price was excellent, way better than other brands for the same thing, felt high quality, and the 1/4” suits us perfect. Highly recommend.

Nice rug pad but will shed so cut accurately. It’s thick and adds cushion for thin rugs

This pad is great and thick and works well for what I used it for which is between a rug on top of a carpet to prevent furniture marks. I will say it’s larger than the size listed (which is better than being smaller) so I had to cut the edges with a good pair of scissors or a box cutter. It does not have a smell to it at all. It does shed pretty bad so don’t wear a nice outfit while unpacking. Very sturdy.

So soft. Had to cut it down a little but it was pretty easy, even with old used scissors. Definitely adds the perfect amount of softness under the rug without being too much. There's no grippy on it so be mindful of that, I'd imagine you could add some hot glue to the bottom and it would be suffice. Definitely worth the price even if it needs slight modifications. Will be buying more for our other rugs.

A+++ it's Mohawk so you know it's going to be a good product. Very easy to trim, it felt like a glove underneath my rug. If you're considering getting a pad, it's a must in my mind. This $35 pads going to save my $200 rug and give it maybe years more life. Though I doubt that I have this rug for years I'm sure I will change my taste, but I'm sure you get my meaning. This one is simply for non-slip it doesn't add anything to the comfort of the rug. I didn't notice any smell, the colors neutral, I could trim to fit easily, works well with my rug, and the construction is first rate!

This pad shipped quickly and has a nice thickness to it. If you do need to cut it down to size and I did, it cuts easily with everyday scissors which is really nice.

Extremely pleased with this underpad. Keeps my main area rug in place and adds quite a bit of cushioning for my old feet. I would highly recommend.

Bought it for a 9x12 living room rug and so far serving its purpose.Elevates the carpet and is soft to walk on.Dimensions maybe a bit questionable as it seem smaller than the advertised.

Rien a dire sur le produit,très bonne qualité,bonne dimension,1/4 " d'épaisseur. MAIS, pour la livraison c'est une autre histoire. Après avoir eu la mention "livré"sur mon telephone et la photo de la porte,pas de boite sur la galerie ! Je cru reconnaitre la photo de la porte de mon voisin et ami (heureusement!!!)de l'autre côté de la rue !!! Je suis donc, comme un "voleur de boite d'amazon" aller cherché ma boite. J'ai hâte de recevoir mes boites amazon livrés par des drones car avec les camions la livraison n'est pas précise! J'ai eu 3 problèmes semblables de livraisons dans les 4 derniers mois. S.v.p amazon un peu de rigueur!

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!

The ad says 100% felt. This suggests soft, flexible and spongy like a felt insole for your boots. This underpad crunches when you walk on it. It seems to be made up of some kind of felted material that includes hard chunks of a plastic like material. This is just the opposite of what we wanted from a carpet underpad. As it was too much trouble to send it back we used it under a basement rug. Definitely do not recommend the product.
