Mohawk Home 5' x 7' Non-Slip Rug Pad — 1/4" Felt + Latex Gripper, Dual-Surface Cushion for Hardwood & Tile

The Mohawk Home 5' x 7' non-slip rug pad is a 1/4" dual-surface cushion combining recycled felt padding and a latex rubber gripper to keep rugs secure, reduce noise, and add underfoot comfort on hardwood, tile, or carpeted floors.

This rug pad pairs a dense felt layer with a textured latex backing to deliver a stable, cushioned foundation beneath area rugs and runners. Built to be trimmed to fit, it helps prevent movement and bunching while offering better insulation and sound damping than thin foam alternatives. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year limited warranty, it’s designed for everyday living spaces where traction, floor protection, and comfort matter.

How does this rug pad prevent slipping and rug movement?

The latex underside features a grippy texture that adheres to most hard and soft flooring without sticky adhesives. The combination of weight from the felt and microtexture of the latex holds rugs in place through foot traffic and routine cleaning.

• Textured latex backing resists sliding on hardwood, tile, and low-pile carpet.
• Felt layer adds weight and stability to reduce shifting and wrinkling.
• Works under runners, area rugs, and small carpets to stop bunching.

Why choose a dual-surface pad instead of a thin foam liner?

Dual-surface pads combine cushioning and traction: the felt provides a resilient underfoot feel and sound control, while the latex supplies a reliable grip. This design outperforms ultra-thin foam at protecting floors and maintaining rug shape over time.

• 1/4" felt gives measurable padding and insulation versus flimsy foam.
• Recycled felt absorbs impact, reducing noise and cold transfer.
• Latex offers longer-lasting hold without leaving residue on flooring.

How do you size, cut, and care for the pad?

Trimming to size is simple—use household scissors to cut along the desired outline slightly smaller than your rug to ensure smooth edges. For upkeep, vacuum or shake the pad; spot clean if necessary. The recycled materials are low-odor and built for routine home use.

• Cut with scissors for a custom fit—leave slight clearance from rug edges.
• Vacuum or shake outdoors to remove dust; spot clean as needed.
• Store flat to avoid bends; avoid direct prolonged sunlight on latex side.

What surfaces and situations is this pad best for?

Flip the felt side up on hardwood or tile to protect finish and add cushion; turn it felt-side down for extra grip on carpeted floors. It’s also suitable as an anti-fatigue mat for standing tasks where extra padding helps reduce foot strain.

• Hardwood and tile: felt up to protect finishes and dampen sound.
• Carpeted floors: felt down for added grip beneath area rugs.
• High-traffic rooms, kitchens, home offices, and workout areas.

Who is this for: Homeowners and renters who want a reliable, easy-to-fit rug pad that protects floors, keeps rugs stationary, and improves comfort underfoot. Ideal for busy households with pets or kids, anyone installing area rugs over wood, tile, or carpet, and people who prefer American-made home accessories backed by a limited warranty.
