We are really happy with this rug pad; as far as rug pads go, it provides a lot of cushion. It keeps the rug from slipping, and it's much more substantial than the beige, waffle style ones. It was slightly larger than our 8 x 10 rug, but I just traced around the edge with a sharpie marker on two sides and used my heavy-duty kitchen scissors to cut it. Overall, this is a great rug, and I would recommend it.
