Mohawk Home Felt Rug Pad 8' x 10' - 1/4 Inch Thick

The Mohawk Home Felt Rug Pad is an 8-by-10-foot underlay designed to add underfoot comfort and surface protection beneath your area rugs. Made entirely of dense felt, it creates a supportive barrier that softens footsteps, absorbs ambient sound, and provides light insulation in busy household spaces.

Beyond comfort, this pad serves as a shield for your flooring. It protects hardwood, tile, laminate, and existing carpet from scratches, dents, and regular daily wear. At the same time, it supports the structure of your rug by preventing wrinkling, creasing, and bunching, which makes vacuuming smoother and helps maintain the appearance of your rugs over time.

The most important consideration is that this is a felt-only pad with no rubberized backing. It is not built to prevent rugs from slipping on smooth surfaces. Because of this, it is specifically intended for area rugs anchored down by heavy furniture, substantial decorative pieces, or the weight of very heavy rugs. Customizing the pad is straightforward, as it can be cut down with household scissors to sit one to two inches inside your rug perimeter.

Verdict: This pad is ideal for anyone looking to add cushioning and floor protection beneath large, furniture-anchored area rugs. If you need non-slip grip for free-floating rugs or high-traffic runners, you should look for a pad with a non-skid backing instead.

• Dimensions: 8 feet by 10 feet
• Thickness: 1/4 inch
• Material: Felt
• Compatible Flooring: Hardwood, tile, laminate, and carpet

A great fit if you:

• Have an 8x10 area rug weighed down by heavy furniture or large decor
• Want to protect hardwood, laminate, tile, or carpet from dents and scratches
• Need extra underfoot cushioning, sound dampening, and insulation
• Want to make vacuuming easier while preventing rug creasing

Consider something else if you:

• Need a non-slip pad to keep a lightweight or free-floating rug in place
• Have a small runner or accent rug without heavy items on top to anchor it

Will this rug pad stop my rug from sliding around?
No. This is a felt-only pad and is not designed to prevent slipping. It is meant for rugs that are held in place by heavy furniture, large decor, or the weight of heavy rugs.

What types of flooring can this pad be used on?
It protects hardwood, tile, laminate, and carpet surfaces from scratches, dents, and daily wear.

How do I size the pad to fit my specific rug?
You can easily trim the pad to any shape or dimension using standard scissors. It is recommended to cut it 1 to 2 inches smaller than the dimensions of your area rug.
