Using the foam pad is a game changer. Bought one similar in size to the rug I purchased. It was easy to cut down to the recommended size (1-2” smaller than the rug size). I do yoga straight on my rug with no feeling of the hardwood floor below or discomfort to my knees

Thick but just as hard as the floor almost.

Love this. So soft. The only problem is it stains really easily and shows every scuff or mark. I used to have it out as a playmat in my kids' nursery, so this was more of an issue. Now that I am using it as a rug pad, hopefully this will matter less.

It does give a cheap thin rug a boost, but it is slippery! You still need an anti slip pad or something under it. Very disappointing considering the cost.

Just what we needed for padding when playing with the grandkids.
