Area rug pad

[Mrs.flang]

Do you use them under your area rugs and why? I don’t need them for anti-slip purposes, but I’d like to protect my hardwoods. Some of the pads don’t seem to mention floor protection in the descriptions so I’m having trouble figuring what kind I need?

The few I’ve seen seem so expensive for something that’s unseen (around $120 each). In the immediate future I would want 2 8x10 pads and will eventually need 2-3 more as we finish other rooms. Any recs for where to purchase?

I bought mine from Amazon. I think I got the rec a few years ago from Money Matters (Mohawk brand). They are felt with rubber/latex on the bottom. Nice and comfy feeling under your feet.

I have this one: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ICNBCQS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1  in an 9x12 (100% felt). It doesn't slide because it is so heavy. It provides a nice cushion and protects the floor from everything.

Oooh this is the one I added to my shopping list after PP mentioned amazon.  I like that it has specifically in the description that it protects hardwoods.  Thx!

these are the kind I use:

they aren't plush, but they don't move and they do protect the floors.

I have this exact same one in my living room.
