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

This rug pad is awesome. We bought a thin-ish area rug, and wanted a more plush feeling. This did the trick. It makes the room feel comfortable, and I am happy knowing the rug isn't going to wear out as fast with this underneath it.I was a little hesitant because some negative reviews stated the pad was not actually 1/2" in thickness. I can attest to the fact that it is. It squishes down when squeezed or stepped on, of course (that's the point!) but springs back to life immediately.I think that any thicker of a pad would have looked very weird and raised the rug up too much.See attached photos for the expanded thickness and "squished" thickness.I will note that we had to trim off about an inch and a half from the width of the rug pad, which was no problem using regular kitchen scissors. Not sure if this is a result of the pad being irregular in measurement, or if our rug is smaller than a normal 8x10 (however that would work).Overall, I'm really happy with it and it's worth the price.
