It makes my rug stay in one stop, which is all I can ask for a rug pad. The one it replaced did not do the job. Note to robyng1 who was "disappointed at how rough the felt is - abrasive even" and felt that it was "likely to scratch them" You have it upside down. The felt side faces up and the rubberized size faces the hardwood floor. The felt has to be "abrasive" so it grabs the carpet that you are trying to hold in one spot. He also complained that the description was " Not accurate. "100% felt" does not describe the product, which has a rubberized side." The rubberized side is a good thing -- that what protects the hardwood floor from the abrasive felt.

This is a great rug pad, especially under a wool rug, or something equally plush. I have other felt rug pads that are thicker and more cushioned, but this is a thinner version, which is perfect under a rug that is already close to an inch thick. All you need is something that will protect your floors and keep your rug in place, and this works perfectly in both regards.

The size of this rug pad is accurate. The description of being 100% felt is incorrect. This rug pad is reversible for use with hard wood floors and rugs. One side is a rubberized substance and the other side is some rough plasticy substance. However, it does add a nice feel to the rug that I'm using it with. It is nice and thin. You can not see the rug pad through the rug. Overall, I'm pleased with the rug pad even if it was a felt material.

I am very pleased with the Xavier rug pads (I ordered three). They provide an extra cushioning under the rugs, and help hold the rugs in place with no slipping or bunching. I have an indoor-outdoor carpet runner in my kitchen that was becoming a nuisance because it continually slipped underfoot. With the rug pad, it stays in place, and the rug feels luxurious when we walk on it. I read numerous descriptions and reviews of rug pads during my search, and as for quality, the Xavier clearly stood out. The pads are very good quality and reasonably priced.

I received the pad 2 days after the order. It is of a good quality. It can be used on top of a hard surface, or carpet. I am using it on a wooden floor. It is working well as the rug I have over it does not "walk". It isn't an extremely thick pad, so if you are looking for something to make a cheap rug lug thick then move on, but if you have a decent rug that you want to protect and keep from walking across the floor with use, then this pad works just fine.

Quality was fair, however the product description reads "100 % felt" - it is not - it is felt on one side and rubber on the other.

It works. PERIOD. If you've bought those kind of rubbery things and the carpet still slides all over the floor, this is what you're looking for. The damn thing stay put.

Rug pad is well made and thick. Keeps me from having the rug slip when I walk on it

I am very pleased with the Xavier Felt Rug Pad. I like how they asked the size of the rug so they could custom cut to fit perfectly under the rug, Had I not had this information , my measurements would have been wrong and I would have to do some trimming. No trimming needed. Adheres to my hardwood floors. No damaging material on the pad.

I have hardwood floors, I like a rug pad to keep rugs in place. I am pleased with this product.

I don't recommend things to friends - it helps to keep the friendship healthy. This is a good utilitarian rug pad. It is under my dining room rug and seems to be working well. I have a tile floor, and the grout lines don't show through. The rug isn't slipping, but I'm not sure whether that is due to the quality of the pad, the texture of the tile floor, or the very heavy table sitting on top of it. At least the rug doesn't move around when I move the chairs either.

Excellent and very high quality felt rug pad. Never slips and keeps my wood floors protected. I will buy again for sure in the future for my wool rugs.

This rug pad works very well for my rug.

I have purchased many rug pads for the carpets in my house. All these pads are approximately 3/8" thick. They provide a cushion along with a non-skid backing. This particular rug pad is approximately 1/8" thick. If you look carefully at the picture (which I did not do carefully enough) you can see how thin it is. It's probably appropriate for rugs with a hard finish but not for an oriental rug.

This pad is placed on a hardwood floor, under a wool rug. I am most concerned about placing a pad directly on hardwood that would cause deterioration to the finish. It is too early to tell on that concern and the pad description does not address this #1 concern. I read reviews and it appears this pad will lie flat, keep the rug from slipping, and add the least amount of height to the total height. So far it has done that just fine. Overall, I'd say this is a good quality pad, but would suggest the manufacturer include information about how it could react with hardwood finishes.

This pad is thin and easy to cut down/trim with scissors if necessary. It provides a bit of padding and keeps our rug in place as intended. It is reversible - put the rubber side down if you are using it on a hard surface, or the felted side down if you are putting an area rug over carpet. No strong odors - it had a bit of a "new smell" when we first opened it, but it wasn't overbearing and it dissipated quickly. I would definitely buy this brand again.

The pad is absolutely fine. I have had a long Moroccan carpet that for years had no pad. It would slip and slide even being under a four poster bed and large bureau. The men who came to install the carpet installed the padding felt side down and the rubberized side to the carpet. The carpet does not move. Yes, it could have been thicker. but it is hard to find a 13 foot padding . They cut the sides off and I nowhave a whole new experience and am safe and am happy!

The felt rug pad was nice under a cotton woven rug. It adds softness and a little padding making the rug more comfortable. It's a nice weight.

This pad is of moderate quality--that is, it provides more padding than the thin waffle weave pads but less than a true carpet pad. From other reviews I was expecting it to add more softness to the rug-- it doesn't really have that effect. It does,mostly, keep the rug from slipping around on the wood floor. Overall, for the price, I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Adds a nice softness to the rug.
