If you found a beautiful rug to fit your style and space and are wondering if you really need a rug pad, the answer is yes! While often overlooked, rug pads provide numerous advantages, including protecting your area rug investment. Rug pads extend rug life by adding extra padding to your rug, reducing wear as well as friction, which also makes vacuuming easier. However, the usefulness of rug pads goes beyond protecting the rug itself. They also protect hard flooring by adding another layer between spills and your floors, as well as protecting floors from both the bottom of the rug as well as dirt and rocks that can get caught in or under your rug.
The benefits of rug pads also include comfort! Rug pads add an additional layer of padding for an extra cushy feel on your feet, and help create a quiet, calm environment by providing another sound-absorbing layer to your floors. To get the most out of your rug pad, select both the appropriate size and the design you need.
