Protect your flooring - in addition to helping prevent trip hazards accidentally caused by a heel of a shoe catching on the edge of the rug, rug pads sized slightly smaller also slow the premature wear and curling at the rug’s edge as it is walked on. Other benefits of a rug pad include noise absorption, easier vacuuming, and an added layer of comfort between your feet and the hard floor beneath. Our rug pad makes vacuuming easier, protects floor surfaces, and provides extra cushioning and comfort. Can be cut at home to custom-fit any rug. Ideally, the rug pad should be cut approximately 1-2 inches short of the rug perimeter.
