Slip-Stop Ultra Stop Low-Profile Non-Slip Rug Pad for Area Rugs and Runner Rugs, Rug Pad for Hardwood Floors 2 x 8 ft

Ordered the 8 x 10 rug pad a few months ago and have used it enough now to absolutely confirm that the pad works and we are very happy with the purchase.Have hardwood floor and room-sized oriental rugs in the major rooms, but smaller rugs in the entrance foyer and hallways. These smaller rugs tend to slide on the hardwood when our kids come blasting through, or whenever our crazy golden retriever decides it is time to do a little rug-surfing down the hallway!We cut this 8 x 10 pad into four pieces to fit under a 14 x 3 hallway runner and two smaller rugs (one 5 x 4 and the other 5 x 3).The pad cut very easily... actually, we really didn't have to 'cut' it at all -- the pad is made of rubber that is formed into a tight grid pattern. We just measured the size of the carpet and marked the pad, then ran open scissors (a fairly new, sharp pair) down the row of the grid that we marked. It was very fast and easy and I covered 10 feet of cutting in maybe 20 seconds. Our measurements allowed for the pad to be about two inches smaller than the carpet, all the way around.After measuring and cutting, we followed a similar routine to other reviewers:* Turned the rug upside down on the floor and vacuumed it well* Placed the pad on top of the underside of the rug and made sure there was at least 1 inch more carpet than pad* Cut about 20 2-inch long pieces of black duct tape and set them aside for use* Taped one corner as a starting point using one piece of tape on each of the corner's two sides* From that first corner, smoothed the pad and taped the other corner of the same end (placing tape between the corners)* Slowly worked our way down the pad, smoothing the pad and putting tape along the edge about every two feet* Turned the rug right side up, set it in place and vacuumed one more time.Now you can still grab the rug and pull it around if you need to, but it does not slip when the kids or dog come bounding in.We will be back to order at least one more to go under the 8 x 12 carpet in our entrance foyer! If you are looking for an inexpensive, effective, easy-to-use non-slip rug pad like this, we highly recommend this one.

I needed a very thin, low profile rug pad for an entrance rug. This one came in multiple sizes, had good reviews and it’s Made in the USA….bonus!!! My parents always taught me to buy American if possible. That becomes increasingly more difficult. This product doesn’t have odor and grips for!

This helps protect the hardwood floor under our runner carpet, and it keeps the runner from sliding around a LOT, but it's a little bit too thin to do the latter job fully. The runner carpet regularly slides around a little bit, not enough to be remotely hazardous, but enough that once a week or so, I need to re-adjust the carpet because this rug pad is showing along the edges. Since our carpet is in a hallway with a doorway to one side, traffic on the carpet isn't in all directions equally, so there's a net force that causes it to push a little bit in one direction.It seems to be so thin that it grips the smooth floor well, but doesn't provide enough friction against the backing of the carpet. A thicker version of this would almost certainly hold the carpet in place better.

Great at keeping rugs from slipping

This is a great product at a great price. Eventhough I have been using this rug pad for a month and a half, I am still waiting to see how well it performs. I have it under my kitchen table on a hardwood floor. The rug pad performs great as advertised: keeps the rug firmly in place. I was skeptical because of reviews that claimed it will stick to hardwood floors. So far, this has not happened as I pull it up from time to time to check, especially where there is heavier, more steady weight on the rug. I am seeing a pattern leftover from the pad, but I also have a high gloss finish on my floor. I know two other people that have used this pad and they have more natural, satin finishes on their floors. I will continue to monitor, but so far, so good. This is a great value for this product.

This is AMAZING!!! We bought a great 5x8 area rug for our laminate flooring and immediately realized that we would need a not slip pad as it would slide and move a lot. Enter: this! We put it down, lined up the rug and BAM...not more movement at all. Couldn't be happier.The only downside is that it takes a little bit of time to line up the rug on top of the liner. Part of me wonders if it would have been easier to buy a slightly smaller liner for that reason. BUT, I know the pad can be cut to size so that's an option too.The BIG plus to this product is that it's not sticky...there is NO adhesive of any kind. It's just a material that prevents sliding...it's sort of a soft rubbery feeling pad that is perfect. It won't damage the floors and it will make it very easy to move if and when needed. Happy customer here!
