Review on Premium Cushioned Rug Pad - RUGPADUSA Eco-Plush | 12'X18', 1/4" Thick, 100% Felt In 3 Sizes & Custom Options by Antonio Scisson

This is a very soft, and super plush rug pad that I highly recommend if you want maximum comfort for your feet when walking on your rug. And if you don’t want to worry about any possible chemical or rubber breakdown that occurs overtime with standard rug pads that are anti skid. One thing to note about this pad is that it will not prevent your rug from slipping at all and in fact could cause it to start slipping if it previously did not slip. We use this pad for our rug in the living room and it has enhanced how comfortable and soft the rug feels when standing or walking around the room. It gets a lot of foot traffic but given the weight of the furniture on the rug it never slips except for the corners and edges occasionally. To remedy this we purchased some rug stays to use on the corners to help them sit flat against the hardwood floor. So if your rug is like ours and it never moved around once you install this of it can start slipping occasionally on the edges or corners.One last thing to note is that this pad is cut to spec from the RUGPADUSA website which is 2 inches off each side so it is actually 7’10”x9’10” which is important to know. I made the mistake of not actually measuring my rug, and I didn’t know that it was actually 7’7”x10’. so when this pad arrived I was super excited until I realized I would either have to ship this back or cut off 4-5 inches of heat pressed felt. Minor aside, they say they cut off 2 inches and it’s very close to 2 or slightly less, but I would assume they want to be as accurate as possible without cutting off too much material. I opted to keep the pad and cut 5 inches of material off the side taking my pad from 7’10” to 7’5”, a perfect compliment to my 7’7” rug. While cutting the material I used a combination of kitchen scissors (that need to be sharpened) and a box cutter/razor blade and it was a good amount of work. This is not easy and part of that is due to my tools not being designed for this work. I also had this on a finished hardwood floor, so I couldn’t jam the box cutter into the floor and pull and that still might not have been enough. It’s not that the blade wasn’t sharp, it’s this heat pressed felt material that is incredibly durable and difficult to cut and damage without sharper or better specific tools.I think the price difference and total savings between the RUGPADUSA website and Revain were less then $10 after applying a 15%-20% off promo code on the RUGPADUSA website. The overall hassle of having to cut my pad was not worth the savings I felt I was getting by ordering through Revain. The cost of the pad for my custom size from RUGPADUSA would have been the same cost as this 8x10 with promo codes since they would have used less material when cutting my slightly smaller custom size.Overall I love this pad and would highly recommend it to anyone that wants to make their home rugs more luxurious and comfortable to stand/walk on. And don’t forget to double check your rugs measurements!
