Question 1

Should I order the pad the exact size as my rug, or slightly smaller?**

Accepted Answer

For the cleanest look, order it **1-2 inches smaller than your rug** on all sides. This ensures the pad remains completely hidden beneath the rug's edges. Many users who ordered the exact same size found the pad could peek out. If your rug is a perfect 8x10 ft, our 8x10 pad will fit, but trimming a small border is a common fix for a flawless finish.

Question 2

Will this pad damage or leave marks on my hardwood floors?**

Accepted Answer

No, the natural rubber backing is designed to be floor-safe for finished hardwoods. It provides a strong grip without adhesive, so it won't leave a sticky residue or discolor your floors. As a standard precaution, we always recommend testing a small corner first if you have sensitive, antique, or newly refinished floors.

Question 3

I need both non-slip security and cushioning for comfort. Is the 1/8" thickness enough?**

Accepted Answer

This pad is engineered primarily for **superior grip and floor protection**. While the felt layer does provide shock absorption and protects your rug backing, the 1/8" profile is not designed for plush, padded comfort. If cushioning is your top priority (e.g., for a play area), you might prefer a thicker felt or memory foam pad. However, for stopping rug slip and a low-profile look, our customers consistently give it top marks.

Question 4

I've seen comments about a smell. Is that normal?**

Accepted Answer

Yes, a mild rubbery odor upon unboxing is normal for natural rubber products and is not harmful. As noted in several online reviews, the smell dissipates quickly. We recommend unrolling the pad in a well-ventilated area (like a garage or near an open window) for 24-48 hours before placing it under your rug. The odor will completely vanish once aired out.

Question 5

My rug is on top of low-pile carpet. Will this pad still work?**

Accepted Answer

Performance can vary on carpet. While the pad excels on hard surfaces, grip on low-pile carpet is generally good but may be less absolute than on hardwood. For best results on carpet, ensure both the carpet and the pad are clean and dry. If your primary use is carpet-on-carpet, a pad specifically designed with a textured grip for that purpose might be a more reliable choice.
