You might think that soft squishy padding makes a rug feel more "comfortable" underfoot. Take it from the experts: a dense, firm pad is actually the better choice for comfort, durability and safety.

A dense non-skid pad protects the rug's foundation from abrasion caused by floor irregularities and grit, and minimizes permanent marks from heavy furniture. It's also safer, as it keeps the rug from slipping underfoot. Even area rugs placed on top of carpeting benefit from a thin specialty pad to stop the “traveling” and buckling caused by routine foot traffic.

Rustigian’s offers pads for every type of rug and surface. Let our experts help you decide on the best pad for your rug or carpet.
