Mohawk Home Non-Slip Rug Pad 4' x 6' — 1/4" Felt + Latex Grip for Hardwood, Tile, Cushioning

The Mohawk Home Non-Slip Rug Pad 4' x 6' is a 1/4" thick dual-surface felt-and-latex pad that locks rugs in place, cushions footsteps, and protects floors across hardwood, tile, and carpet.

This rug pad combines dense recycled felt with a durable latex rubber backing to give area rugs a stable, cushioned base without the chemical smell or short life of thin foam. Designed for long-term use in high-traffic zones, it reduces movement, prevents wrinkles, and adds thermal and sound insulation underfoot. The pad trims easily for a precise fit and is manufactured in the USA with a one-year limited warranty for reliable performance.

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

The latex rubber gripper side adheres to both the flooring and rug backing to resist sliding and bunching, offering much greater hold than basic foam pads. Because it creates consistent contact across the rug’s area, it reduces edge curling and keeps rugs flat during daily use.

• Latex backing provides continuous non-slip traction.
• Full-area contact stops shifting and edge curl.
• Works on smooth tile, varnished wood, and finished surfaces.

Can I use the felt side on delicate floors without causing scratches?

Yes — placing the felt face up (against the rug) means the felt layer rests on the floor, creating a soft buffer that prevents abrasion and scuffing. The felt also distributes pressure evenly, lowering the risk of indentations from furniture legs or heavy foot traffic.

• Felt side protects finishes from direct contact.
• Even pressure distribution reduces indentations.
• Ideal under area rugs on hardwood and softer flooring.

Will this pad add comfort and reduce noise in busy rooms?

The 1/4" felt core delivers noticeable cushioning and sound dampening, making footsteps quieter and surfaces more comfortable to stand on for longer periods. It also provides minor thermal insulation, which helps floors feel warmer underfoot in cooler months.

• Plush felt absorbs impact and reduces echo.
• Added padding eases standing fatigue in kitchens or workstations.
• Helps insulate against cold floors.

How do I size, trim, and care for the rug pad?

Trimming to size is simple — use standard household scissors to cut the pad slightly smaller than your rug so edges remain hidden. For upkeep, vacuum the pad or shake it outside; the recycled materials resist lingering chemical odors and hold up well under normal cleaning routines.

• Cut with scissors for a custom fit beneath any rug shape.
• Vacuum or shake clean for low-maintenance care.
• Recycled construction minimizes off-gassing and odors.

This pad is crafted in the USA and backed by a one-year limited manufacturing defects warranty, offering peace of mind for homeowners who want a durable, eco-conscious solution to rug movement and floor protection.

Who is this for: Homeowners and renters looking for a long-lasting, non-slip foundation for area rugs — especially in living rooms, hallways, kitchens, and home gyms — who need a product that protects floors, reduces noise, and provides cushioned comfort without frequent replacement.
