Mohawk Home 5' x 7' Low Profile Rug Pad — 1/8" Felt Cushion with Latex Gripper, Non-Slip & Thin

Mohawk Home's 5' x 7' Low Profile rug pad combines a thin felt cushion with a latex gripper to keep area rugs stable while protecting floors and reducing noise.

This dual-surface rug pad is designed for everyday rooms where rugs see constant traffic. The felt layer offers a subtle softness, thermal insulation, and sound dampening, while the latex backing anchors rugs to prevent sliding, bunching, and wrinkling. It fits a wide range of rug styles and floor types and trims easily to match custom rug shapes.

How will this pad affect the feel and performance of my rug?

The low-profile felt adds a light cushioning that makes rugs more comfortable underfoot without raising door clearance or altering rug appearance. It also improves vacuuming performance by keeping the rug surface flat and stable. Because the pad is available in two thin options, you can choose the level of softness that suits your space.

• 1/8" thickness for minimal lift and near-flat profile
• 1/5" option when a bit more padding is desired
• Felt fiber blend absorbs sound and adds thermal insulation
• Keeps rug surface smooth for easier cleaning

Will it stay put on hardwood, tile, or carpeted floors?

The latex rubber underside creates a reliable non-slip grip on hard surfaces and reduces movement on low-pile carpets. This minimizes slips, trips, and rug bunching that can damage edges or cause falls. The pad is safe for all floor types when used as directed, and the non-slip backing maintains contact during regular household activity.

• Latex gripper prevents sliding on wood, tile, and laminate
• Reduces wrinkling and folding that can cause tripping
• Works on low-pile carpet when placed under the rug
• Recommended installation: gripper side down on hard floors

How does this pad protect my flooring and rug over time?

The dense felt layer buffers abrasive wear between the rug backing and floor, helping to avoid scratches, scuffs, and discoloration. It also lifts the rug slightly to distribute foot traffic more evenly, prolonging rug life. The pad’s materials are selected to resist crushing and maintain cushioning in busy spaces.

• Felt barrier reduces friction-related damage to floors
• Prevents rug backing from transferring discoloration or marks
• Durable fibers resist compression in high-traffic areas
• Green Label Plus certification for low chemical emissions

Can I trim this pad to fit an irregular rug or runner?

Yes — the pad is easily customized with household scissors to fit nonstandard shapes and runners. For the best fit, cut the pad 1–2 inches smaller than your rug perimeter so the rug edge sits directly on the floor. Trimming keeps the pad invisible under the rug while ensuring the rug’s edges lie flat.

• Cut approximately 1–2" inside the rug edge for discreet fit
• Scissors are sufficient; no special tools required
• Available in common sizes and easily trimmed for runners
• Follow placement guidance: felt down on carpet, gripper down on hard floors

Who this is for: Homeowners, renters, and anyone with area rugs in living rooms, entryways, bedrooms, or high-traffic halls who want a low-profile solution that prevents slipping, cushions underfoot, reduces noise, and shields floors from wear. It’s especially useful for busy households seeking a discreet pad that maintains rug appearance and offers easy, tool-free customization.
