Customer Reviews for Mohawk Home 3 ft. x 5 ft. 1/4 in. Dual Surface Rug Pad

This is the cheapest area rug that I’ve ever purchased! I bought the pad as well considering I knew it was on the thin size. I had to take the pad out of my home because it smelled so horrible that we couldn’t even walk in our own home and then after we took the pad out, the rug rippled and we can’t keep it laid down flat. Worst quality ever. It’s almost like it stretches. Do not purchase this rug. I wish I hadn’t. Considering it is black you can’t see the ripples very well in the image, but they are there.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice quality rug pad. It's very large, 9' x 12' making it perfect for my oriental rug if the same size. As my rig has fringe on either long end, I needed to trim it approximately four inches per side and it fits perfectly. The 1/4" padding is the perfect thickness to add a bit of cushioning but not so thick to make the stretto into the rug seem to great and become a fall risk for our elderly moms. I would highly recommend the Mohawk pad.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Mohawk Premium dual surface rug pad is perfect for my small oriental carpets because until i found it i coudlnt keep my rugs from sliding around on my hardwood floor no matter what kind of pad i put under them. I tried this rug pad and problem solved! plus it gives my carpets a nice padded feel when i walk on them. its thick felt on one side and a rubber mat on the other so my accent rugs stay put finally! even when i vacuum them they dont move around and get out of place or let the pad show. I can easily trim it to just the right size and it hasnt damaged my floor at all. I wish i had tried this rug pad years ago!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great rug pad, so much better than the waffle like rug pads that leave waffle marks on wood floors. I was able to cut this to size and now my rug will last longer, anyway, that's what I understand rug pads will do. I used an electric cutter to cut it, but I think utility scissors would work okay too. Very nice quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with this Mohawk Home - Dual Surface Rug Pad. I have a large rug but it is on carpet and has had issues with slipping and developing wrinkles that are difficult to work out. This rug pad has solved these problems for me. It grips enough to keep the rug in place and provides it with support which has stopped the wrinkling. The pad itself is really good quality. The materials are heavy and high quality but the overall weight is light enough to work with so you can adjust the placement without a lot of trouble. It is flexible and has plenty of body to it. This pad is such good quality and is working so well that I will be buying another one for a rug I have in another room.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Dual Surface Rug Pad by Mohawk Home makes area rugs more comfortable and is versatile in being able to be used on different surfaces. I got the 1/4th inch thick pad in the 9 foot by 12 foot size. I was quite surprised by how heavy the pad was which helped make the pad and rug stay in place. The downside of such a large size and heavy weight pad is that it is hard to maneuver alone but it is unlikely to be moved often so I do not mind. I like that if I ever want to use the pad in a different room, I don’t have to worry about whether I have the correct pad for the type of flooring.. The rubber side down can be used for hard surfaces like wood floors and the felt side can be used for carpeted rooms. I prefer a low pile rug but this can make rugs less comfortable. The pad makes the rug a lot more cushioned and warm. I was pleased to find that the felt is made of recycled fibers which is great for the environment especially for such a large rug pad. I expected there to be a lot more factory smells or off gassing with the rubber backing. There are definitely some smells but it is not as strong as expected and just needs to be aired out for a little bit. The pad is not flimsy at all and feels quite substantial. It is easy to trim down the pad to adjust the size with a strong pair of scissors or utility knife. I feel like the quarter inch thick pad is a good thickness but you might want to go higher if you will be sitting on the floor or have a really thin rug. I was worried that the pad would lift the rug and make it easier to trip on but if you cut the pad a little bit smaller than the rug, it is not an issue at all. I always thought rug pads were just to keep rugs in place and an unnecessary extra item but this pad elevates the feeling and look of an area rug. I would recommend this rug pad if you have any area rugs without padding because it does make a difference to have one and this one is a good one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have area rugs all over my house, many of which are on my hardwood and tiled floors. They bring great aesthetic appeal to my home but often slide out of place, are uncomfortable to stand on and cause scratches to the underlying floor. This dual surface rug pad by Mohawk Homes helps eliminate all those problems. You can cut it to fit any size rug perfectly and the dual surface design is good for both hard and soft surfaces. The ¼" padding, made with recycled fibers, provides phenomenal cushioning for you feet and protects the pile from being crushed by your furniture. My favorite aspect of this rug pad is the rubber side of the pad, which helps keep the rugs in place and prevents any scratches to my hardwood floors. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with area rugs in their home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dual surface rig pad was the just what I needed. I have a long runner as you walk in the door and at times it would slide all over the place. By adding the pad underneath it stays in place. Simple to just cut to fit the pad and boom no sliding. Now I don’t have to worry about anyone falling or tripping on the rug. Thank you

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The dual surface rug pad by Mohawk works great for our rug. The one side makes sure the rug doesn't slip. And the other side makes sure the rug stays put on the floor. This is a great tool for our home as I'm losing my vision, and it's important everything stays put in it's place.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My significant other wanted to put a new rug down under our bed. Now we have a pad for it when we do finally get one. It is just what we needed before getting the rug. It will fit perfectly. The thickness is perfect. Not to thick or too thin, making the quality very satisfying. We did try to cut it slightly and it will just fine into any shape as it is not that difficult to accomplish with the way this rug is made. It feels luxurious to me. The rug will be sitting on it with great distinction. It matters to me that the floor is covered this way, and it seems to have done the trick to make me happy as well as my partner. The color is fine as it will be covered up anyways, so it doesn't need to be fancy, of course.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rug pad works really well! It seems very well made, and it provides a great non-slip cushion for our rug. We are using it in a bathroom with a tile floor, and it is especially nice to have the additional cushion there. Overall, we are really happy with this rug pad!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this yesterday and immediately put it under my area rug in my spare bedroom. The 1/4th pad is sufficient but not very padded under the rug. I was using a rug pad gripper previously. I’m happy I tried it and like I mentioned is sufficient. I will try a 1/2 inch pad next time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great rug pad for hardwood or tile floors. It adds just enough padding to not feel "squishy" but helps reduce impact and adds some insulation between the rug and floor. The textured side grips my hardwood floors well and the "soft" side holds onto my rugs well. No slippage. I did need to cut to fit my rug, but that was expected.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works great under my bedroom rug durable material that is good texture it was also easy to cut to the room. I love that it made my carpet more thinker and easier on my feet. I think this product is a good purchase for someone wanting to upgrade there room. I would definitely recommend to all family and friends.

This area rug is more than I expected! Very well made and so very thick and soft! The color is perfect! I was a little afraid due to the price but its amazing so very worth the price! Quick delivery!

I really love this pad. It's difficult to find a good rug pad and I feel like the brands keep changing the quality. This one is wonderful. Just thick enough, nice rubber on the bottom to hold it in place. Makes my rug very comfortable.

Thankful for the other reviews which led me to purchase this rug pad. Sure, it needed to be trimmed a little but that's not a big deal. The pad gave us just the right amount of cushion to make it more comfortable to walk on our rug (which is on a tile floor)

Tried many different rug pads to keep my large area rugs in place in carpeted rooms; FINALLY found product that works! Unlike the others, this one along with two side rug tape, keeps area rug in place; doesn't bunch when furniture is moved; doesn't slowly creep when you walk on it. Also adds nice layer of soft cushioning!

Beautiful rug; however, it was rolled so tight when we received it there was so many waves. Days after laying it flat and using books to get the edges down i finally found a YouTube video with a person who had the same issue. Being able to follow the instructions. After an hour on hands and knees, using a wet towel and steam iron, we were able to get it flat. What a disaster.

This Mohawk felt pad is the first one that we tried that is solid and thick. With hardwood floors, we always bought the open weave grip-type area rug pads. The Mohawk pad has more cushion to it and feels nice to walk on; our area rug isn’t very soft and the pad helps. The pad’s rubber backing also does a good job keeping it in place. The pad was shipped folded instead of rolled and we thought that the fold marks would be a problem, but the pad lays flat even though you can see where it was folded. It is reversible if you want to put a rug on top of carpeting. It is also easier to put in place versus the open weave style which sticks to the floor and takes a while to get everything in the exact position. Our current area rug has a soft backing, so it’s okay the pad being a few inches smaller, it allows the edges of rug to lay flat. It seems, if we had a thicker area rug with a rough backing, we would want a thinner pad to be even with the edges of the rug to keep the backing from scratching the floor. Doing this though, might not let the rug lay flat around edges. The pad can be easily trimmed, if needed. So far, it is working out great for our area rug.

I have used single surface rubber area carpet pads in the past only to have them breakdown and leave residue on my hardwood floors. The material dried out and became like powder, so I was really looking for something of better quality that wouldn’t breakdown or leave a residue on my floors. I wanted this pad because it was made by Mohawk. I expected it to be well made and use good quality materials. This dual surface rug pad is made with felt and a rubber backing. The pad is around 5/16 inches thick and the felt surface is consistent, dense, and firm but offers a nice cushion when placed under your area rug. The rubber backing is similar to the rubber backing on a “Runner” rug. I have several Mohawk runner rugs and the rubber backing does not breakdown over time. You place the rubber side down on hard surface floors and the felt side down if you are using the pad on top of carpeted floor. Pads with more density result in less wear and tear on the carpet's surface and more cushioning for the feet. I have only owned this pad for a short time, but I am very happy with the quality and performance of this rug pad.

Rug pads are a lot like “health food” -- you know they’re good for you (or your area rug), but it’s easy to put off buying them. This version from Mohawk makes it affordable to do the right thing. A couple of years ago, we got an area rug for our dining room, and since it was positioned under a heavy wood table, we figured that would keep it from shifting around much and so a rug pad wasn’t essential. Wrong. Fast forward to last month and while deep cleaning the room, we realized that even in a low traffic room, the area rug was showing signs that it needed a rug pad. So we chose this one from Mohawk and are pretty satisfied, with a couple of caveats: 1) there was a strong enough odor (probably from the rubber backing) that we needed to let the pad air out in the basement for a few days (see pics), and 2) the “felt” side of the pad was somewhat rougher than others we have bought in the past. Maybe this roughness is from the post industrial recycled fibers used for the felt side? Regardless, neither issue is a big deal, and this pad will solve the problem of our rug shifting (even under the weight of the table) and curling up on the edges. Learn from our mistake: once you’ve made the investment in a nice area rug, protect that investment with a quality rug pad. Mohawk Home 5 ft. x 7 ft. Dual Surface Felted Rug Pad. Model # 520267

Over the years my wife and I have been very happy with Mohawk products. This 5 ft. by 7 ft. premium dual surface felted rug pad is exactly what we have been looking for to place under our 5 by 7 foot area rug on our basement floor. This pad does an excellent job cushioning and insulating our feet from the cold hard concrete. The pad was easily trimmed to fit our area rug without issue. The pad appears to be well made and should provide years of service. See attached photographs. Well-done Mohawk Home

We really like this pad. It went down easy – easy to handle and not heavy. It had straight cut edges all the way around. The top of the pad is felt and the bottom is made with a slip resistant material or rubber to keep it from moving. We liked the thickness but our main purpose was to keep our rug from sliding or “bunching” up. It does give your rug a bit of a cushion and rug pads in general do extend a rugs life.

It is soft to step on. I needed to cut some because I have 8x10 rug and ordered 8x10 of this rug pad. It doesnt slip too. My dog loves to sleep and lay in our rug.

This is my first time owning a rug pad, but it’s a must from now on! I absolutely love that this rug pad works on floors with or without carpet and the instructions were super easy. We were able to easily cut any excess material to fit our rug perfectly. We received it to go with our Cheetah Spots rug, which is the 8’ x 10’ size and the rug pad fit it perfectly with only about an inch of excess. Ever since we laid then rug down with the rug pad underneath, the rug has not moved at all. Since I use the rug in my home office, I’m able to roll my desk chair along the rug even at the edge and it doesn’t lift at all. You definitely NEED a Mohawk Home rug pad if you’re on the fence about it!

We are very pleased with the quality of the rug. I was also pleased the rug was as it looked per the on line pictures.

I ordered a 4' x 6' pad but what I got was 4' x 5'--a full foot short. The packaging clearly indicates it's supposed to be 48" x 60", not sure what happened. The quality of it seems fine otherwise, but now I need to figure out how to get a replacement.

Very happy with this. Well it's not too thick it certainly adds a nice plush filled to the carpet. Perfect non-stick surface on the bottom and felted Comfort on top. Very happy

It looked good when it arrived and it was easy to install it. But after a few month the rubber underneath the pad have started falling off. There are ton of shredded rubber pieces falling off from the pad. it's didn't stay good even for a few months
