Mohawk Home 8′ x 10′ 1/4 Rug Pad 100% Felt Protective
$55.59
Product Overview
The Mohawk Home 8′ x 10′ 1/4″ Comfort Cushion Rug Pad is engineered to deliver lasting protection and enhanced comfort under your area rugs. Crafted from durable 100% felt fibers, this premium pad acts as a resilient barrier between your rug and flooring, reducing wear from daily use while adding softness underfoot. Ideal for high-traffic areas or rooms anchored by furniture, it helps maintain the shape, appearance, and usability of your rugs over time. With its Green Label Plus certification, the pad meets strict indoor air quality standards, ensuring a healthier home environment without compromising performance.
Key Features
- Plush Felt Cushion: Choose from three thickness options—1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″—to customize cushioning based on your space’s needs. The dense, blended felt construction offers improved comfort in frequently used areas, reducing fatigue during extended standing or walking.
- Recommended Use: Designed for use under rugs that are secured by weight—such as those placed beneath heavy furniture (sofas, coffee tables), large decorative items, or heavier rug materials. Because it contains no latex or rubber backing, this pad is not intended to prevent slipping on its own.
- Long-Lasting Protection: The robust felt material shields both your rug and floor from common forms of damage including scratches, scrapes, punctures, abrasion, and discoloration caused by rug backing contact with flooring surfaces.
- Extend Rug Life: Helps prevent creasing, bunching, and wrinkling of area rugs, keeping them flat and easier to clean. A smooth surface also supports more effective vacuuming and contributes to a neater overall look.
- Customizable Sizing: Easily trimmed with scissors to fit unique dimensions or irregular shapes. To achieve a precise fit, score the surface lightly and cut approximately 1–2 inches inside the edge of your rug.
- Green Label Plus Certified: Tested and certified by The Carpet & Rug Institute for low chemical emissions, confirming one of the highest standards for indoor air quality among rug pads.

Benefits & Use Cases
This rug pad excels in homes where area rugs serve functional and aesthetic purposes in high-use zones. Its cushioning effect softens footsteps and absorbs sound, making it especially valuable in living rooms, dining areas, or entryways. By preventing direct contact between rug backing and flooring, it minimizes long-term wear such as discoloration or gouging, preserving both the integrity of your floors and the visual appeal of your rugs. Because the pad relies on anchoring rather than grip, it works best in configurations where furniture or décor naturally keeps the rug stable—eliminating the need for adhesives or non-slip sprays.
The ability to customize the size ensures a seamless fit even in non-standard spaces or oddly shaped rugs. Whether you’re covering an L-shaped room section or fitting a runner under a doorway, trimming the pad to match your rug’s perimeter provides a tailored solution without sacrificing coverage. Many users appreciate the noticeable difference in comfort when walking barefoot or in socks, describing the surface as pleasantly cushioned yet firm enough to support daily activity.
Beyond immediate comfort, this pad contributes to cost savings over time by extending the usable life of both your rugs and flooring. Regular use prevents premature aging caused by creasing or repeated shifting, reducing the need for replacements or professional cleaning. Its neutral grey color complements most interior styles, offering practical value without clashing with décor choices.
Important Notes
- This product contains only felt material and does not include a latex, rubber, or any adhesive-based backing. As such, it should not be relied upon to keep rugs from moving independently.
- Rug pads like this are best used under rugs that remain stationary due to being weighed down by furniture, heavy objects, or their own substantial weight.
- To adjust sizing, use a sharp tool to score the felt surface before cutting with household scissors. Trim approximately 1–2 inches shorter than the perimeter of your rug for optimal coverage and stability.
- Area rug is sold separately and is not included with the purchase of this pad.
- Customers consistently report that the pad feels comfortable underfoot and delivers strong performance relative to its price point, often noting its durability after months of regular use.

Good quality rug pad
This pad adds just enough padding and cushion under my area rug in the living room. It is a little oversized but easily trimmed to perfect size. I would rather it be a little big than too small. Offers firm but comfy padding. Lays smoothly under the rug. Not too lofty. Great product

Nice Rug Pad
We bought a beautiful rug on a trip to Morocco and had it shipped to our home. Once we got it down, we realized it felt thin and uncomfortable on our tile floor. So we decided to buy a rug pad.We had previously purchased rubber rug pads, and while they worked, they were very thin and didn’t add much to the cushiness of the rug, so this time, we decided to try a thicker felt rug pad.It arrived quickly, and we unpacked it, put it down on the tile floor in our bedroom, and placed the rug on top. We realized that the rug pad was about an inch bigger than our rug. So we took a pair of ordinary scissors and cut a tad more than an inch so the pad would not be seen under the rug. It cut fairly easily, without any felt bits falling all over. We placed the rug on the pad, and it looked greatânot too thick.But the real test was walking on it. It felt great (no pun) – not too cushy. It made our Moroccan rug feel like a thicker, more substantial rug. It did not feel like we had a rug pad under it. We’re so happy we’re considering replacing our other rubber rug pads with felt ones.

Too slippery
It was nice and soft. Gave great cushion to my rug. But it was to slippery on my hardwood floor. So much so i slipped and broke my wrist. I had to throw it away. It would be better if one side was non slip material.

Nice padding for the price
Works as should, adds nice additional padding underfoot. A little tough to trim with regular scissor shears, but is trimmable; although leaving behind a lot of fuzz during the process. Not too high of padding underneath the rug, the Eufy robotic vacuum can still climb up and vacuum across rug. Have bought same product for other rugs in house, nice quality at this price point. Used on LVP flooring safely.

As described
I wish it had a non-slip bottom but their non-slip pad’s were out of my price range. The cushion is nice and adds a little more comfort to my carpets – I did this because my dog is getting old and she can’t get in-and-out of her dog bed anymore so she sleeps on the carpets more often (easier to get up and down).If you buy this pad also buy rug tape at the same time or this will slip around very easily.

Perfect thickness for a new rug
Needed a small amount of felt to protect my wood floors and vacuum a new rug easier. Worth the money espexially when youre paying for a 6×9 sized rug.

Nice soft carpet pad
The carpet pad makes my area rug soft to walk on. You can trim the padding with scissors if it is a little bigger than your rug. It is very sturdy. I did not notice any smell on the padding.

Thick but slips on wood floor
The rug pad is thick but important to note it is the same on both sides and easily slides on the floor. I should have read more to know there was not a non slip side. This made it very challenging to put down the rug.

Great rug mat it was easy to cut down to size and provides ample padding for my rug. I’ve also re-purposed the scraps to be used as padding under the legs of furniture such as table as chairs to prevent scratching of my flooring.

Very soft, plush underlay

Easily cut to size with a box cutter and a cutting mat under it. Makes the basement floor so much warmer.
Amazon Customer –
The ad says 100% felt. This suggests soft, flexible and spongy like a felt insole for your boots. This underpad crunches when you walk on it. It seems to be made up of some kind of felted material that includes hard chunks of a plastic like material. This is just the opposite of what we wanted from a carpet underpad. As it was too much trouble to send it back we used it under a basement rug. Definitely do not recommend the product.

This came in one piece and was square (some reviews mention underpads this size arriving in 2 pieces and not being totally square). It adds a nice softness to our area rug. It was exactly the size indicated & I had to trim a bit on two sides so it wasn’t exactly the same size as our 10×14′ area rug (I didn’t want it to show on the edges) and it was very difficult to do, but that’s because it’s so dense, which is a good thing. I didn’t notice any unusual smell and I’m very happy with the purchase.
