Why do you need a quality rug pad?
First, a good rug pad will provide a layer of protection between the rug and your hard surface floors which will help prevent wear – giving both your floor and your rug longer life.
Second, a well made rug pad is soft, luxurious and resilient, compressing underfoot and bounding right back for your comfort.

Third, and perhaps most importantly, the right rug pad can prevent accidents by keeping rugs from slipping or buckling – keeping you and your family safe.
We are here to help you determine which rug pad is most appropriate for your particular rug and your particular needs. This is a description of all the rug pads we offer for sale, with recommendations for which situation they are best used.
Optimat
Made of 22 ounces of felt and 16 ounces of non-washable rubber per square yard with a heat fused face, optimat pad is ideal for use with hard surface flooring or wall-to-wall carpet. Place the reverse waffle (rubber) side face down on hard floors and you get excellent gripping power. Turn the pad over – rubber side up – and you have a pad that keeps area rugs securely in place over wall- to-wall carpeting. The surface is specially treated to provide extra grip and prevent fuzzing and fraying. It will not stain, mar or discolor standard flooring. Optimat pad is 1/8″ thick. NOT for use with radiant floor heating.
