Keep the flooring in your home protected and add cushion underneath your favorite area rug with the ¼” Dual Surface Premium Rug Pad from Mohawk. This rug pad is ideal on hard or soft surface flooring and can easily be trimmed down to size with household scissors, perfectly fitting any size rug in your home. The pad is made with a combination of natural and synthetic rubber materials and 100% post-industrial recycled synthetic fibers. Rug pads have many benefits, including keeping area and accent rugs in place, extending the life of your rug, protecting against abrasion and wear on all flooring types, reducing pile crushing from furniture, and making vacuuming easier, too!

Q: Will this help hold my area rug on top of my carpet?
submitted by Christy - 7 years ago
A: This is not how it's shown in the pictures or the video. The latex side is shown down, against the flooring. Which is correct?
submitted byKP - 7 years ago
A: Hello! Yes, this rug pad is made for use on either hard surface flooring or soft surface flooring. It will hold your rug in place on top of carpet. Just place the felt side down against the carpet, and the rubber/latex side up against the back of your area rug.

Q: Can I cut this pad to use for small bathroom rugs? And does it do well to keep rugs from slipping on carpeting?
submitted by CWood28 - 9 years ago
A: yes, you can cut though need very heavy scissors. Will keep bath rugs from slipping, though might take a while to dry if it's wet in the bathroom as it's pretty thick fibrous material. No it's not the appropriate choice for keeping rugs on carpeting. need a special kind of pad for that.
submitted byrug fan - 9 years ago
A: Are use the pad and a laminated wood floor with a heavy wool rug. It’s never moved. I don’t think it would be practical in her bathroom because it’s much thicker than the other kind of rug pad. I don’t recommend putting a rug on top of carpeting. Hey I don’t have a seat.

Smells awful
Smells terrible after a few months of use. It has been under a rug in a guest room and has not seen much foot traffic and no moisture, but after a few months, it started smelling like a mix of plastic and wet dog.

Good rug pad
So far so good. Gives a nice cushion to the rug and was easy to put down. It was slightly larger and not square but wasn’t too hard to trim.

Awfully smelly
The horrible smell has yet to disappear despite spending days in the fresh air outside, days inside with the window open, and the air purifier on in the room. I do not recommend and am shopping to replace it because I don't think the smell will ever go away. I've owned many rug pads and never experienced this much off-putting odor.
1 reply from From the Manufacturer team - 7 months ago
Our rug pads may have a distinct smell from the rubber backing; this odor is inherent to the product and is considered normal and should dissipate over the course of a few days. Our rug pads are tested routinely to ensure the product material content meets guidelines for consumer safety. Our rug pad is also sold through our commercial group to schools and office buildings, and we submit to annual VOC testing to ensure compliance with these additional requirements. If you continue to have an issue after allowing the rug pad to air out or feel that the issue is outside what would be considered normal, please contact our customer care team for additional assistance at the following email, customer_care@mohawkind.com.

Do not purchase this. The smell is horrible. We aired it out for days in our garage with the garage door open and not only did it not get the smell to go away, but the garage smells like it. It's hard to describe the smell but it will make you feel sick and it's difficult to get rid of.

Does not work, recommend buying a different product.
I got this pad to prevent a rug from slipping on wooden floors. It says that's what it's intended for. Unfortunately, it moves around a ton on our wooden floors, and basically defeats the point of buying it in the first place.
1 reply from From the Manufacturer team - 8 months ago
We understand you are unhappy with this purchase and would like to chance to make it right. Please contact customer_care@mohawkind.com so we can work with you on next steps. To get the optimal use out of the dual surface rug pad, it needs to be laid according to flooring type. For carpet, place the rug pad under your rug with the felt side facing down toward the floor. For hard surface flooring, place the rug pad under your rug with the non-slip latex rubber side facing down toward the floor.

Got this in January for our new living room rug and it stunk like chemicals so bad we put it in the garage to let it air out for months, occasionally spreading it out on the driveway to let it get even more air. After 11 months of doing this, the smell was just as bad as day one and we just threw it away. Total waste of money.
1 reply from From the Manufacturer team - 9 months ago
Hello. Thank you for your feedback on our rug pad products. We are very sorry that you had this experience with the pad you purchased. Our rug pads may have a distinct smell from the rubber backing; this odor is inherent to the product and is considered normal and should dissipate over the course of a few days. Earlier this year, we received numerous complaints across all our selling channels that the odor is more than what we would normally expect. We worked closely with our quality control team to identify the issue and made a change to our manufacturing processes to correct this issue for future inventory. We would be happy to discuss this with you further and make your experience right. Please contact us directly via email at customer_care@mohawkind.com so we can work with you on next steps.

Happy I bought Mohawk Premium Runner Pad
Arrived in excellent condition. The 2x8 runner size was exact and fit my rug perfectly without having to cut it. Good quality and makes such a difference in the comfort of the rug. Nice and cushy. It works very well to keep the rug in place also. Very pleased with this Mohawk Premier Runner Rug Pad. Planning to purchase different sizes.
