Mohawk Home 5' x 8' Non-Slip Rug Pad — 1/4" Felt + Latex Gripper for Hardwood & Tile, Cushioned Support

Mohawk Home's 1/4" dual-surface rug pad combines plush felt cushioning with a latex gripper to keep rugs secure, protect floors, and add underfoot comfort on hardwood, tile, or carpet.

This rug pad pairs recycled felt with a durable latex backing to stop slipping, bunching, and wrinkles while improving insulation and sound absorption. Sized to fit a standard 5' x 8' rug, it trims easily with scissors for a custom fit and is designed to outperform thin foam pads by offering better stability and longer-lasting support. Manufactured in the USA and backed by a one-year limited warranty, it’s a practical upgrade for busy homes that want both protection and comfort without chemical odors.

How does this pad keep rugs from sliding on hardwood and tile?

The latex rubber backing grips the floor to resist lateral movement and prevent edges from curling. Because it’s a continuous gripper layer (not isolated dots), it delivers consistent hold across the whole rug footprint, reducing trip hazards and the need to frequently adjust your rug.

• Full-latex backing for even grip and lasting adhesion
• Reduces rug shifting, bunching, and edge curl
• Works on finished hardwood, tile, and laminate without adhesives

Will the felt side protect my floors and add comfort?

Yes. The 1/4" recycled felt provides a soft cushion that shields delicate floors from abrasion while adding underfoot padding and sound damping. When placed felt-side-up, it creates a protective barrier between rug and hard surface; flip it for better traction on carpeted floors.

• Felt layer absorbs impact and reduces foot noise
• Insulates against cold floors and eases standing fatigue
• Recycled materials reduce odor and add resilience compared with cheap foam

How do I trim and care for the pad to fit my rug?

Trimming is simple: lay the pad under your rug, mark excess with a pen, and cut with household scissors for a precise edge. Maintenance is minimal — vacuum or shake out the pad periodically; avoid machine washing to preserve the latex backing.

• Cut easily with scissors for custom shapes and sizes
• Vacuum or shake to remove dust; spot-clean as needed
• Do not tumble-dry or use harsh cleaners that degrade latex

Is this rug pad suitable for high-traffic areas or utility use?

The combined felt and latex construction stands up to daily foot traffic and utility use like home offices, kitchens, or workout areas. Its cushioning supports prolonged standing and protects floors under heavy furniture or equipment while maintaining grip and shape over time.

• Durable for entryways, living rooms, and home gyms
• Provides anti-fatigue benefits for standing tasks
• Resists compression better than thin foam alternatives

Who this is for: ideal for homeowners, renters, and small-business owners who want a reliable, low-maintenance rug pad that protects floors, stabilizes rugs, and improves comfort. If you need a 5' x 8' pad that trims to fit, reduces noise, and won’t trap chemical smells—backed by Made-in-USA manufacturing and a one-year limited warranty—this Mohawk Home felt-and-latex pad is a practical choice.
