Area Rug Pad – Rug Underlay, Runner to Large Room Sizes
This is the layer that goes under a rug, not on top of it. Ten sizes are cut to match the rug sizes the rest of the collection is sold in: a 2'4" x 4'11" for an accent piece, a 2'7" x 13'2" long enough for a hallway runner, and room sizes through 11'6" x 14'9". Buying the pad and the rug in matching dimensions removes the guesswork.
A pad does three things at once. It keeps the rug from sliding on a hard floor, which is the difference between a rug that stays square to the room and one that creeps toward a doorway. It puts a layer of give between the rug and the subfloor, so foot traffic compresses the pad rather than grinding the rug's own backing against wood or tile. And it lifts the rug slightly, letting a vacuum pull dirt up through the pile instead of pressing it down.
Size the pad slightly smaller than the rug so no edge shows along the border. Cut it to fit around a hearth, a doorway or a built-in rather than folding it, since a folded edge telegraphs through the rug above it as a ridge.

The Upgrade You Feel Immediately
Put the rug pad down once and every rug in the house feels better. Softer to stand on, quieter to walk on, and finally staying where you put it.
Longer Life For The Rug On Top
Friction against a hard floor is what wears a rug out from underneath. The pad takes that abuse instead, so the rug above it lasts years longer.
Trim It, Forget It
Kavora Living keeps the rug pad in the range because it is the cheapest fix for the two things people complain about most: slipping and thinness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I order?
Choose a pad slightly smaller than the rug, around two to five centimetres in from each edge, so it stays hidden while still supporting the whole surface.
Can I cut it to fit?
Yes. The pad trims cleanly with sharp scissors or a utility knife, so an odd sized or vintage rug is no problem.
Will it mark my floors?
No. It is made to sit against sealed hard flooring without leaving residue, which is exactly why it beats improvised tape or generic grip mats.
Does it work on carpet?
It does. Over low pile carpet the pad keeps a layered rug from creeping and travelling across the room.
How do I clean it?
Shake it out and wipe it with a damp cloth, then let it dry fully before laying the rug back down.
