Product details
Area rugs shift underfoot and wear hardwood bare when they lack secure anchoring beneath them. The Poly Premium Area Rug Pad delivers dual-sided polymer grip with 1/8-inch recycled fiber cushioning that holds rugs steady and shields floors from indentation, abrasion and UV fading. A rug pad is the non-slip cushioned layer between an area rug and a hard surface that prevents movement, extends rug life and protects the floor below--this machine-woven pad grips both rug and floor simultaneously without adhesive residue, available at Sideboards and Things with free shipping. Trim it to size with household scissors, slide it under dining room tables or entryway runners, and it will hold for two decades without bunching or tearing.

Why Choose This Rug Pad from Sideboards and Things?
Reclaimed wood sideboards and credenzas deserve floors that stay pristine beneath them, and this pad ensures dining room area rugs won't scuff hardwood as chairs slide. Position the 9' x 12" size under a large table to stabilize runners and protect planks, or layer the 6' x 9" version in hallways where foot traffic peaks--its radiant-floor compatibility suits heated rooms, while flame-retardant certification meets code in commercial spaces. Pair it with woven runners from our LOOMLAN Rugs collection or natural-fiber pieces in Rhody Rug styles, and complement grounded textiles with warm ambient light from our floor lamps.
How to Select and Place Your Rug Pad
Order a pad two inches smaller than your rug on all sides so edges remain hidden--an 8' x 10" area rug pairs with the 8' x 10" pad beneath it. The polymer bottom surface spreads rug weight evenly across planks, preventing furniture leg indentation and high-traffic compression that mars hardwood finishes over time. Trim irregular edges with scissors to fit around sideboard legs or match L-shaped room layouts, and the dual-sided grip will hold without slipping. Explore coordinating area textiles in our Addison Rugs range to complete the layered look.
