Prevents slipping and sliding
Rug pads help keep the rug in place, preventing it from slipping or sliding, which can reduce the risk of falls and injuries.
Protects flooring
They act as a barrier between the rug and the floor, protecting the floor from scratches, stains, and other damage from the rug’s backing. Our premium ECO pads offer exclusive moisture barrier, protecting your floors from pet accidents or liquid spills.
extends rug life
Rug pads absorb impact from foot traffic, reducing wear and tear on the rug, which can extend its lifespan.
enhances comfort
By adding an extra layer of cushioning, rug pads can make walking or standing on the rug more comfortable, providing a softer, more luxurious feel.
improves air circulation
Rug pads can facilitate airflow between the rug and the floor, helping to prevent moisture buildup and the growth of mold or mildew, especially on hardwood floors.
Rug pads are essential for maintaining the appearance and longevity of your area rugs while providing safety and comfort. Here’s a few questions you might have:
What Size Do I Need?
Your rug pad should be slightly smaller than your area rug. Generally, the rug pad should be about 2 inches smaller on all sides than the rug itself. This prevents the edges of the pad from showing and ensures the rug lies flat without curling.
How Much Should I Spend?
The cost of rug pads varies based on material, thickness, and size. Generally, you can expect to spend between $20 to $200. Here’s a rough guideline:
Small Rugs (2’x3’): $20-$50
Medium Rugs (5’x8’): $80-$100
Large Rugs (8’x10’): $160-$200
Higher quality and thicker pads made from premium materials will be on the higher end of the spectrum but can offer better performance and longevity.
What’s a Healthy Material?
When considering healthy materials, look for rug pads made from natural and non-toxic materials. Here are some options:
Natural Rubber: Provides excellent grip and is non-toxic.
Synthetic Rubber: Provides excellent grip and is non-toxic, zero latex.
Synthetic Felt: Made from recycled materials, felt pads offer cushioning and are eco-friendly.
Rubber and Felt Combo: Combines rubber grip with the cushioning effect.
Organic Materials: Some pads are made from organic cotton or wool, which are safe and sustainable. Avoid rug pads made from PVC or other synthetic materials that can off-gas harmful chemicals or stick to your floors over time.
How Long Should It Last?
A high-quality rug pad can last 3 to 10 years, depending on the material and usage. Natural and synthetic rubber pads last longer (up to 10 years), while felt pads might have a slightly shorter lifespan (around 5-7 years). To ensure longevity, choose a well-constructed pad and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.
Selecting the right rug pad involves considering size, cost, material, and longevity. By investing in a good-quality pad made from healthy materials, you not only enhance the comfort and safety of your area rugs but also ensure they remain in excellent condition for years to come. Our ECO pads offer premium synthetic felt cushioning, with zero latex rubber, safe for all flooring styles including tile, hardwood, and luxury vinyl plank flooring.
