Mohawk HomeRug Pads, Recycled Material 95% Polyester/ 5% Other Fibers, Grey, 8-footx11-foot

I’m not sure why more people aren’t more upset about this. The pad is fine, except that the first line of the description says:“About this item* PREVENTS SLIDING: with a nonslip rubber side to grip hard surfaces.”This is the description of one of Mohawk’s ‘dual surface pads’. THIS IS NOT. Instead you’re buying Mohawk’s ‘unbacked rug pad’ which is more slippery than the rug I’m using it under.(Product info can be found on mohawkhome dot com)THIS IS 100% misrepresentation. The company selling it owes people a refund.

This rug pad is nice and thick and can be cut to size. One thing to note is that it is slippery on both sides and there is NO rubber backing. One side is slightly rough but it will not keep the rug in place. You will still need a non-slip pad in place or large furniture to affix it to the floor. The rough side is intended to grab the rug which leaves the slippery side against your floor. You will need a non slip pad under it.I would have returned it if I did not have furniture keeping it in place.

Ordered this for our 8x10 living room rug. Thinner than I was expecting and doesn't really add much cushion. I will say that there is a difference than just the rug, just not as much as I was hoping. My biggest issue is that it's virtually impossible to cut! The ad and packaging says it can be cut easily. I tried our home scissors, no luck. Our scissors are old so I went out and bought titanium coated scissors thinking it was the sharpness, no luck. I then grabbed a utility knife for cutting drywall, placed a board underneath, still nothing. I'm really frustrated bc it needs to be trimmed and I cannot figure out how to cut this thing! Do I need to use a frickin laser beam?!?

As long as you are expecting a just a felt pad, this is great! Good enough quality to add a nice cushion feel to thinner rugs. As others mentioned, there is nothing non slip about it at all. You'll need a gripper pad or some double sided carpet tape if sliding is an issue (any smooth floor). I'm taping down the corners of my carpets anyway so no big deal for me.

It's a good product and very east to cut. I recommend getting slightly larger and then cutting to size. I had to return and reorder one as I had gotten it too small. With the pad under the carpet, it's more comfortable to walk on and will help the carpet to last longer.
