A felt layer bonded to rubber, in seven sizes from 2 by 3 up to 8 by 10 feet, for rugs that feel thin underfoot.
A felt and rubber pad is two products laminated together. The rubber face does the holding against the floor; the felt above it adds height and absorbs the shock a thin rug passes straight through to a hard floor. Under a flatweave or a kilim the difference is obvious the first time you cross it, and it is the reason this pad costs more per square foot than the plain grip pad on the neighbouring shelf.
Felt also changes how a rug ages. A rug crushed directly onto boards wears along the walking line first; the same rug with felt under it spreads that load, and the pile recovers between footfalls. The sizes here go 2 by 3, 2 by 8, 4 by 6, 5 by 7, 6 by 9 and 8 by 10 feet, with a 15 by 54 inch runner width, and all of them trim with a sharp knife rather than scissors.
7 sizes, each one a link to the card that carries it.
3 colours, named from our own product data rather than from a photograph.

03Asked before ordering
What people ask us about felt rug pads before they pick a size.
Yes, and that is what you are buying. The felt layer sits above the rubber grip face and gives a thin rug body it does not have on its own. Under a thick wool rug the extra height is less useful and can make a door catch.
A sharp utility knife against a straight edge, on a surface you do not mind marking. Felt is too dense for scissors to leave a clean line, and a ragged edge telegraphs through a thin rug.
A heavy wool rug already has body, so the plain grip pad is usually enough and keeps the height down. Felt earns its price under flatweaves, kilims and machine-made rugs with a thin backing.
