Mohawk Home Non Slip Rug Pad 8' x 10' - 1/4" Thick Felt + Latex Rubber Gripper - Dual Surface Cushion for Hardwood, Carpet, Tile Floors, Made in USA

Wanted to increase the sound deadening of my rugs because the floors in my apartment building are eeky and creaky with every step, and I often hear the neighbors below. I had some cheap anti-slip pads from IKEA that weren’t really doing their job. These are a huge upgrade, not just in that the anti-slip is really good. First off, the sizes I ordered were true to size within an inch or so. I’ve definitely bought a “5 x 3” rug pad, but it ends up being “4.5 x 2.5” leaving you with a lot of overhang, not the case with these. They laid relatively flat after being unfolded and didn’t leave any wrinkles you could see or feel in the rugs. I saw some reviews complain about the smell. Yes, they smell a little “chemically” out of the box. But once set up and with a rug on top, there’s no noticeable smell. I only have the 1/4” version, and the cushion effect is really good, my stiffer rugs feel a lot more comfortable to walk on now. I don’t see any reason to get the thicker versions. Overall, very pleased!

I had purchased a 4x6 faux fur rug. It was wonderfully fuzzy, but had absolutely no padding, and the smooth backing was slippery as ice. I tried a different anti slip pad first, but the rug kept slipping off the pad. This pad solves all the problems. It is exactly 4 x 6 feet. It is just shy of a half inch thick. ( I was going to get the 3/8 inch, but for the price, I decided to upgrade. I’m glad I did. It’s good padding, but I think anything less wouldn’t be adequate.) The 1/2 inch padding is thick enough to make it comfortable to sit or kneel on the floor. (Anyone can stand on these, but if old knees are comfortable, you know it’s good.) What’s really amazing is that—as advertised—the bottom surface holds fast to my laminate floor and the top surface holds the rug safely in place. The rug itself has uneven edges (it’s supposed to look like a fur rug) so I’m going to eventually trim the pad to more evenly match the rug. Previous reviews suggested that it is easy to trim. If I have any problems, I’ll update this review. Otherwise, I’ll say—especially from someone who had been shopping for a good pad for a while—this is an excellent non-slip pad and is excellent quality for the price. Edited later to add: Well, I came back to add an update, but I never actually posted this review. So, I’ll just add and post. Several weeks later and I’m still very happy with this pad. But I did want to add a note about trimming it. As mentioned above, the rug I have on top of the mat is not an exact 4x6. I needed to trim about an inch off the length and an inch off the width of the pad to make it fit underneath the rug perfectly. But it was not easy! I tried every kind of scissors I had in the house. A box cutter just shredded it. Finally, my guy came around with some industrial scissors (they looked like tin snips, but I don’t think that’s what they were) and his much stronger hands than mine, and he was able to make a nice, neat trim. With the right tool and the right user, the mat trims nicely with no fraying. I’m going to guess, when they show the picture of the mat being cut with regular scissors, it’d probably the thinner version and not the 1/2 inch. Still, very happy with this product!

6 months later and this rug pad has been perfect! We did have to trim the pad down so the edges of our rug were overlapping a few inches over the pad and the rug was flush with the floor. This made the rug look better. The cutting at the factory wasn’t even anyway, so expect to do a little trimming. As for the depth, 3/8 ended up being comfy enough to sit on so that you’re not feeling the hard floor, however I would not describe it as “cushy” or “soft.” It’s still pretty firm. (we have young kids so we spend a lot of time on this rug!) but I also wouldn’t want any larger depth due to the little step it would cause going from the laminate floor to the rug. Lastly - it allows me to vacuum my very thin Amazon rug that was too hard to vacuum without this pad!

Bought for my area rug in my kitchen because I have the same brand under my large area rug in the living room. It’s the perfect thickness for our tile floor to protect the area rug and they both fit perfectly in between our sink and refrigerator. The rubberized bottom that sticks to the floor works well and seems to stay put, and because you can buy them to fit it was very easy to install after sweeping and mopping the floor. However the top of the rug pad where the rug sits allows the rug to slip all over the place, so not sure if it’s the fact that rugs are so thin that they don’t have enough weight to grip to rug pad, or it’s lack of grip from the top of rug pad. Definitely recommend Mohawk rug pads as I have them under several thicker rugs and they work well.

Outstanding rug pad! I used the pad under a 9x12 carpet (purposely chose a larger size so I could put a runner right next to the larger rug). First, let me say that I managed to maneuver this huge rug pad by myself, just one short guy and a huge heavy rug pad! It wasn’t easy — because the thing actually does its job and grips to the floor, so moving it around was quite cumbersome— but it was at least possible with effort. Once I got it in place, I got my (Ruggable one-piece rug) on top of it pretty easily. I taped down the far edge of the carpet to the pad just to give it some stability while I dragged my sofa back into place on top of it. I fully expected that the whole system would shift while I moved the couch and I’d have to wrestle painfully to get it back into position, and then spend a long time taping the rest of the rug to the pad below to keep it from shifting. But no! — the Mohawk rug pad didn’t budge and it kept everything in place. I’m using the pad over wall to wall carpet and I have to say this is a brilliant rug pad for that setup. I was skeptical at first of the instructions of “felt side down (on the wall to wall carpet) and “rubber side up” (contacting the new area rug). But this rug pad is flawless for soft surface placement. I didn’t have to tape down any more of the rug past the initial one foot strip — it just doesn’t budge on the carpet beneath (the felt locks into fibers) and the rug on top doesn’t budge, being gripped by the rubber. I could not be more pleased. And btw, I didn’t notice an odor other than a faint whiff when I opened the package. I highly recommend this rug pad for any use but especially for over-carpet use.

I utilized this carpet pad under a good quality rug. The pad added a great sense of luxury to the rug. It has a great rubberized coating in the back that grips the floor and keeps the rug in place. As a result the pad and rug sit well on the floor.

I don't usually write reviews, but as I believe this is a safety issue I felt it was my moral obligation to write it. I ordered several of these Mohawk Home Non-Slip Rug Pads during January and February of 2024. The odor is nauseating. I put them outside during the day to air them out but it didn't help at all. The disgusting smell began to increase throughout my house and I couldn't get the odor to go away. I woke up in the middle of the night and had to run into the bathroom feeling light-headed and nauseous. I reported this directly to Mohawk and I was told they recently had a "bad batch," and they believed the odor was most likely caused by contaminated dye that was added to the latex for color. The smell intensified, especially while my heat was on, so I had a service call with an HVAC/Duct company. He explained that the odor from the rug pads was blown throughout my house when the heat was on and then the return vent sucked up the air sending it back to my heating system which then circulated the horrific-smelling air throughout my entire house. He cleaned and deodorized the HVAC system which helped somewhat, but the smell lingers in my furniture, rugs, blankets, etc. I have been washing everything non-stop and have sprayed Febreze everywhere. I looked back through the Amazon reviews about these Mohawk rug pads and I have found many other people complaining about the dreadful stench, and this goes all the way back to 2020. So the reason given to me by Mohawk for the atrocious odor being caused by a "bad batch" that recently occurred is not only unacceptable but complete hogwash. I contacted the EPA as well as filed a complaint with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission about this issue. It is well known that VOCs, Volatile Organic Compounds, are found in many products, including rug pads, and can lead to poor indoor air quality causing numerous issues including respiratory symptoms. VOCs can be carcinogenic to human beings. I have been nauseated, dizzy, and cannot get this sickening odor out of my house. I have tried using strong mouthwash, chewing peppermint gum, and drinking peppermint tea but I cannot get that horrific smell out of my nose or respiratory tract that has come from these disgusting Mohawk rug pads. I am grateful to Amazon for refunding my money for the four Mohawk Home Non-Slip Rug Pads, but I am concerned that nothing was done to resolve the real issue, the safety issue of these rug pads. I recommended to Amazon that they take the rug pads off of their site immediately and I am hopeful that they will. I recontacted Mohawk yesterday, March 18, 2024, via email, sending them the Amazon reviews with odor issues as far back as 2020 and the response I got was, "This was from 2020 and these people might have some kind of "allergy" that make them more sensitive to certain things." They have swept the rug pad odor issue under the rug. No pun intended. I am extremely dissatisfied with Mohawk and will never purchase anything from the company again.

Perfect amount of padding for a throw rug on LVP Highly recommend

Excellent product. Exactly what I was looking for. Purchased 8x10feet. Didn’t need to trim. Fit perfectly. Do note that it is not made out of rubber or foam so it doesn’t have that “bouncy” feel to it. However It is perfect for a large or small area rug for thin hand woven rugs like my French Aubusson Rugs which is thin and slippery on any hard surface as seen in my pics. Because the rug is thin, this thick felt product provides the perfect amount of support due to its thickness and density for ideal cushioning and floor and rug protection plus the underside facing the floor is anti-slip. Makes vacuuming a Breeze and so much more comfortable to walk on compared to without it. I’ve read some reviews of people saying it doesn’t have the “bouncy” or “spongy” plush feeling they are looking for similar to those in 5-star Hotels. I’ve asked the industrial carpet experts and I’ve been told That What the hotels use as underlay are not felt but Thick Rubber or Foam for that plush “bouncy” feel. And those are also very much more expensive too. So if you are looking for that spongy feel than you should look for their rubber or foam underlays. This one is also sturdy and dense enough for me to place heavy furniture on it without spoiling the rug due to its firm density. Shipped all the way to Singapore in perfect condition. Wasn’t rolled but folded for logistical practicality. The creases And folded areas plumped out and flattened out after 30 mins or so. After more than 2 weeks of use in Singapore’s very hot and humid tropical climate. I checked if the Silicon anti slip side resting against my ceramic floor tiles could have fused or stuck together due to the heat, humidity and weight of the furniture, thankfully it did not. As such I have No regrets getting this. And will order again in future.

it was used for padding for 2 rugs for our bedroom bay window. very pleased with the product.

Does what it says on the tin! Good grip non slip & good cushioning. However there is an awful strong smell on the product even after a few weeks leaving it to air but no change, very unpleasant. The manufacturer states that the product is certified by Green Label Plus showcasing top quality products with the lowest chemicals emissions on the market. If this is the case why does it smell so bad. Unfortunately, I will be returning it.

So far so good.

Die Filzmatte war nicht wie in dem Produkttitel angegeben 1,9m x 1,5m, sondern viiiiiiiiiel kleiner. Das stand auch schon auf der Verpackung drauf, welche auch Zentimeter-Angaben abgebildet hatte, soweit ich mich erinnere. Warum also diese viel zu große Größenangabe im Titel gelandet ist, erschließt sich mir nicht. Ich war super enttäuscht und verärgert, denn bis auf die falsche Größe hatte die Matte nämlich einen guten Eindruck gemacht, außer dass ich sie etwas zu teuer finde für die kleine Größe, die man da bekommt. Da die Matte aus den USA versandt worden ist, war die Retoure dadurch auch aufwändiger und zeitintensiver, schade auch um das unnötige und verschwendete CO2 für den Rückweg.
