The RugPadUSA Dual Surface Cushioning felt and rubber rug pad is another excellent contender. A slightly smaller, checkered pattern adorns the bottom of the natural rubber, noticeably adding grip strength to this mat. The textured felt top solidly holds most rugs in place even when the dog takes strong and vocal offense at the package delivery employee. We tested the 1/4 inch version, but RugPadUSA offers various thicknesses and types of pads, including 1/8 inch &#40;lower edge height for vacuuming&#41; and 7/16 inch &#40;more cushion for lounging on the floor&#41;. Importantly, this rug pad is rated for all hard surface flooring, designed to protect both your floor and your rug. It works over radiant flooring as well, and with a boatload of available size and shape options, you can easily fit almost any rug size or order a custom option for something really unique.
You may want to order that custom size, too, as trimming this thick mat with your kitchen scissors can be a serious test of hand strength and patience. When it comes to performance, however, our only complaint is that the felt surface is textured in a way that can allow smaller rugs with smoother undersides to slip on top of it. Our 2' x 4' shag rug could still move slightly on the RugPadUSA Dual Surface, but rougher-bottomed rugs, natural-fiber rugs, and large area rugs didn't have this issue. Still, we think this is a superb rug pad for just about any situation, and we're big fans of the almost absurd number of sizing options available.

The Best Rug Pads

Upgrade Pick

Balancing long-lasting protection and cushioned comfort, the ½” Dual Surface Rug Pad from Mohawk Home will protect your area rug as well as the flooring beneath for a lifetime. Featuring a thick felt cushion atop a non-skid rubber latex backing to help anchor your rug in place while protecting flooring underneath. This felt rug pad is easy to clean, simply spot clean any accidents or spills with mild detergent or clean professionally. Do not machine wash. Available in a variety of popular rug sizes, including 8x10, 9x12, 5x8, and 6x9, this rug pad also features customizable resizing. Simply trim your pad with scissors 1-2 inches smaller than your rugs perimeter and place underneath to help your rug grip the floor below. Our rug pads feature Green Label Plus Certification by The Carpet & Rug Institute, showcasing top quality eco-friendly products with the lowest chemical emissions on the market.

The Mohawk Home Dual Surface is a felt and rubber pad that holds fast to the floor for less of a ding to your wallet than the competition. The underside is textured, sticks well, and is compatible with all types of hard flooring. It's available in several different thicknesses and a multitude of sizes and shapes, so you can find the right option for any rug in your house. A bonus: this mat's felt is made with recycled materials in an endeavor to reduce environmental impact. 
However, there are some downsides. The surface of the felt isn't as textured as some others, and it doesn't stick as well to rugs with smoother backs &#40;i.e., plasticized bottomed rugs&#41;. We didn't have any issue with natural fiber and woven rugs sliding around, though. However, it was a bummer to realize that though the pad was advertised at 1/4 inch thick, it actually measured at 1/8 inch, which detracts from its cushioning. The flip side is that it's easier to fit under doors or vacuum over edges. Grievances aside, for a large area rug, we love the performance of the Mohawk Home Dual Surface, and the price is right, to boot.

Budget Pick

DuraHold Plus is Made in the USA of synthetic felt and 100% natural rubber. Thermal-set ridges on the upper surface, in an exclusive pattern of chevrons, running in multiple directions, enables the pad to grip the rug more effectively and prevents lateral motion in any direction. DuraHold's backing is made of a superior natural latex rubber formulation in a new, exclusive hexagonal "tire tread" pattern, puts more real rubber in actual contact with any bare floor, no matter how slippery, and provides the highest degree of non-slip traction. 100% synthetic, chemically inert padding contains no plant or animal fibers to decompose, outgas, or aggravate allergies. Easy to trim! Hypoallergenic, completely synthetic- no plant or animal fibers to aggravate allergies. Can be used on top of any hard surface, or on top wall to wall carpet if you lay felt side on the carpet and rubber side underneath the rug! Needle-Punched, solution dyed construction won’t shred. Heat set ridges on upper surface that hold the rug tight, wont let it slip off pad. Tough consistent construction provides maximum cushion effect for your precious rugs, for minimum wear, longer rug life.

If you're looking for impressive grip in a rug pad, we'd point you first and foremost to the Durahold Plus Felt and Rubber. This mat's rubber underside grips the floor impressively well with its unique hexagon pattern, and its felt top has a rough texture that grabs onto the bottom of your rug. Its 1/4 inch thickness provides a bit of cushion underfoot. The Durahold Plus comes in various shapes and sizes and can also be trimmed for a custom fit with a sturdy pair of scissors. The natural rubber of this mat is very unlikely to damage your beautiful hardwood floors, and it's even rated safe for radiant heat flooring. 
The Durahold Plus is quite dense and solid, which means it can be a challenge to trim — you'll want to use strong, stiff scissors. Additionally, if you're looking to add some serious cushioning under your rug, this isn't the model you're looking for, as it only comes in one thickness &#40;1/4"&#41;. However, if serious staying power is what you're after, or lots of variety when it comes to size and shape, this felt and rubber option is one of our absolute favorites.

However, if serious staying power is what you're after, or lots of variety in terms of size and shape, this felt and rubber option is one of our absolute favorites.

The Veken Non-Slip Gripper is the simple, classic option most of us conjure up images of when we think of a rug pad. Though we tested several of these basic, minimal designs, the Veken is our favorite. Its checkered pattern of alternating squares offers the tiniest amount of cushion under your rug and provides an even, flat base to hold everything in place. Smaller rugs can still slip on the top of this minimal mat, but if you're willing, taping the rug and pad together can eliminate that issue. This type of pad is also effortless to cut with a standard set of scissors and is useful for much more than just rug holding. From jar opening to securing couch cushions, the Veken provides a non-slip grip for a range of household products.
There are several obvious downsides to this pad, such as a lack of cushioning and less grip than beefier options. However, the biggest downfall is that it &mdash; along with all the other similar-styled pads we tested &mdash; comes with an extensive list of flooring it can't be used on, from stone to carpet to refinished floors. Lots of online reports confirm that using this pad on restricted surfaces can very easily lead to a ruined floor. But if your floor fits the bill and you just need something simple and inexpensive, the Veken Non-Slip Gripper will certainly help.

This pad is thinner than most others we tested, making it versatile enough for placement anywhere, and you can easily cut it to fit rugs of any size.

If you're less worried about slippage and more concerned with adding some comfort to your thin, worn-out rug, the RugPadUSA Cloud Comfort is the rug pad for you. This memory foam pad comes in several thicknesses to upgrade your handwoven mat or child's area rug. Standing on this pad feels plush and decadent, cradling your feet. It's the perfect pad for the floor in front of the TV, both in comfort and sound dampening qualities. And, like all the pads they sell, this one comes in an astonishing array of shapes and sizes.
Unfortunately, this isn't an ideal choice for stopping rugs from sliding around. The slippage protection is minimal at best, and it won't keep coverings in place. The padding is also thicker than other options, which can present a problem when attempting to fit it under some doors. Additionally, the thickness and poor grip can make vacuuming difficult due to the tall edges and an inability to stop movement. That said, the impressive loft of cushioning makes the Cloud Comfort a prime choice for those who want to add extra comfort across big spaces.
