Quality pad is easy on floors and stays in place. Would like it a little thicker for my favorite flat-weave rugs, but it holds area rugs in place well and to be fair, area rug pads don't come thick and cushy. That's for wall-to-wall carpeting. If pads are very thick, area rugs become trip-hazards. I'm ordering another one of these. If this pad contained no petroleum-based products, I'd give it five stars.
