Non Slip Grip Rug Pad 8 ft x 11 ft - Cushioned Felt with Latex Backing

Our review of the Mohawk Home Dual Surface rug pad finds it ideal for homeowners who want a simple way to keep large area rugs secure while adding underfoot comfort. The 8 ft x 11 ft size and non slip latex backing deliver reliable grip on hard floors, and the felt layer provides noticeable cushioning and sound absorption that makes rugs feel softer underfoot. For anyone with busy rooms or hardwood and tile that need protection, this rug pad balances protection, insulation, and comfort without complicated installation.

Key Features

• Non slip latex backing: Provides extra grip to help prevent slipping, sliding, bunching, and wrinkles for large area rugs during everyday use.
• Plush felt cushioning: Blended felt fibers add soft underfoot feel, sound absorption, and insulation for a more comfortable room experience.
• Multiple thickness options: Available in 1/4 in, 3/8 in, and 1/2 in so buyers can choose the right amount of cushion and floor protection.
• Customizable sizing: The pad can be scored and trimmed with scissors to match any rug shape, with recommended offsets based on thickness so edges stay hidden.
• Dual surface safe: For carpet place felt down, and for hard surfaces place the latex side down, making it suitable for many flooring types.

Who It's For

This rug pad is best for owners of larger area rugs, especially those over 5x8, who want a durable pad that reduces movement and adds a cushioned feel. It suits high-traffic living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms where rugs need extra grip on hardwood, tile, or laminate and where sound reduction and insulation are useful.

Shoppers with smaller scatters or narrow runners under 5x8 should consider pairing this pad with rug tape or corner tabs for best hold, and those extremely sensitive to new-product odors should be aware some customers report an initial smell and may ventilate before use.
