Mohawk Home Felt Rug Pad 6' x 9' — 1/4" Thick Cushion for Area Rugs, Floor Protection & Sound Insulation

Mohawk Home Felt Rug Pad 6' x 9' (1/4") is a dense felt underlay that adds soft cushioning, thermal and sound insulation, and durable floor protection beneath anchored area rugs.

This felt-only rug pad from Mohawk Home is built to extend the life of your rug and protect sensitive floor surfaces without an adhesive backing. The 1/4" thickness delivers noticeable underfoot softness while offering insulation and sound damping in active rooms. Because it contains no latex grip layer, it’s intended for rugs that are kept in place by furniture or other heavy items and is fully trimmable for a custom fit.

How will this pad affect my rug’s feel and acoustics?

The 1/4" felt layer adds a subtle cushioning that softens footsteps and reduces echo in a room. It won’t dramatically change the rug’s pile height but will make the rug feel more comfortable and help absorb ambient noise.

• Provides a soft, even underfoot surface for area rugs
• Improves sound absorption in living rooms and bedrooms
• Helps rugs lie flatter for easier vacuuming

Does the pad protect hardwood and other flooring?

Yes—this Mohawk Home felt pad is designed to shield hardwood, tile, laminate and existing carpet from scratches, dents and wear. The dense felt creates a cushion barrier that disperses pressure from furniture and foot traffic, helping to preserve finishes over time.

• Prevents direct abrasion between rug backing and floor surface
• Reduces indentations from furniture legs and heavy decor
• Acts as an insulating layer against temperature and moisture changes

Will this pad keep my rug from slipping on hardwood?

No—the felt-only construction has no non-slip latex backing and is not intended to hold loose rugs in place on slick floors. Use this pad beneath rugs that are already secured by furniture, heavy decor, or layered with a heavier rug on top.

• Not recommended as a non-skid solution on smooth floors
• Cut 1–2 inches smaller than the rug to fit safely under edges
• Pair with furniture anchoring or a separate non-slip option if necessary

Who is this felt rug pad for? Homeowners and designers who want a breathable, durable pad to add comfort and protection beneath anchored area rugs will find this Mohawk Home 1/4" felt pad ideal. It’s a good match for hardwood, tile, laminate or carpeted floors where slip resistance is provided by furniture or rug layering, and for anyone seeking a Green Label Plus-certified product with low chemical emissions. If you need significant anti-slip properties, consider a dual-layer pad with a grip backing instead.
