This is a very effective rug pad. It is medium to dark gray, about half an inch thick, The packaging does not say what it is made from, but the fibers are sort of "felted" together, and bonded to a textured rubber non-slip layer. It looks like it is well bonded together and will not disintegrate like the pads made from bits of foam. I have it under a wool rug over a ceramic floor, and it really adds to the comfort of the rug. I feel confident that it is protecting my rug from extra wear over the hard flooring. It is not really "cushy" feeling, but it does make the rug feel softer. The sizing seems accurate; I did not measure, but I needed to trim about 2" off one side to fit the same size rug. I'm sure the rug is odd sized. Trimming was easy with a pair of strong scissors. I do not notice any chemical smell, and the pad quickly flattens out after unrolling. It is made in the USA by Safavieh.
