RE: Choosing the Right Rug Pad for Your Home
Permalink   
 

Hi! I’ve had good experience using rug pads on hardwood floors, and they really do make a difference. For hardwood, I recommend a felt and rubber combination. Felt provides cushioning and protects your floors from scratches, while the rubber backing prevents slipping. Choosing the right rug pad in terms of thickness, around 1/4" to 1/2", also helps keep your rug in place and adds comfort underfoot. To avoid discoloration, look for pads labeled “non-staining” or “safe for hardwood.” Using a pad extends your rug’s life, so I wouldn’t skip it entirely.

Hi everyone,

I’m in the process of redecorating my living room and I’m a bit confused about rug pads. I know they can help prevent slipping, protect floors, and extend the life of rugs, but I’m not sure which type is best for my hardwood floors. Should I go for felt, rubber, or a combination?

I’ve heard some can cause discoloration over time. Has anyone here had good experiences with a specific brand or thickness?

Any advice on the benefits of using a rug pad versus skipping it entirely would be really appreciated!
