OK, I'm on a jag putting new pads under our old rugs. This one, the "premium," is the best so far, just a nicer feel than the "superior" rug pad. That was my big question, and I have to figure someone else is wondering as well. This one is lovely, cuts easily enough, rates five stars from a picky woman. Makes a huge difference in how things feel underfoot, and after using these I would not even consider the thin "webby" rug pads.
The rug pad runs a little larger so you are able to cut one side to truly fit your rug perfectly. I probably cut off 3/4 inch on one side. I ordered another rug pad first which was a bit cheaper, and am much happier with this rug pad's size and quality.
This pad is really high quality and does just what it says. I am using it on carpet with a heavy Chinese wool area rug over it. The area rug now stays in place and feels wonderful to walk on. The dining room table and chairs are on top of the rug and, believe it or not, the chairs move more easily with the rug on the pad than they did without the pad. The pad was a little too big and I had to trim it with a box cutter. I couldn't manage it with scissors because of the thickness of the pad. Pad is very heavy and it took two people to manage the 8 x 10 size.
This rug pad is pretty darn ugly, but you aren't buying it for it's looks, that's the rug's job. However, it is excellent quality and does exactly what I want it to. My beautiful (and expensive) area rugs are extremely comfortable to walk on (especially the one that is directly on a concrete floor), in large part because of this rug pad. It's a bear to cut down to size, so I suggest going to a parts store and asking for a heavy-duty pair of scissors. We did and spent a little more than ten bucks for a pair, thank goodness too. Without those scissors, cutting all four rug pads might have killed our hands and equipment. I do suggest cutting down the rug an inch or so inside the rug's parameter. It will help make your foot's transition from rug to floor easier because the pad is pretty thick. Another great thing about this rug pad, is that the rug simply doesn't move, so the rubberized bottom works perfectly. I'm not worried about rugs moving in the high-traffic parts of my home.

Pad was bigger than ordered. Had to cut about two inches off to fit rug. The pad was thick and seems durable. Still was happy with pad. The pad was delivered about a week after receiving the rug.
Exactly as described - the pad is thick and gives a nice cushion under the carpet. It completely eliminates any slip, even on slick hardwood. Agree with earlier review - lay it out and let the folds settle out of it for a few hours before trying to lay the rug over it. Easy enough to trim with a good pair of scissors. Much better price than any other site for what looks like the same product. 3 stars on appearance cuz it ain't pretty, but, hey, it's rug pad.
I purchased two of these pads and have used them for about 8 months, they are great! I searched extensively for high quality pads at a reasonable price and these are definately the ones to buy. You won't be disappointed!!
Really nice rug pad. This is the second one I bought...A+ quality
I ordered this rug pad as a gift for my daughter who has hard wood floors and she just bought an expensive area rug. The pad is generously sized and heavy enough that it should stay in place and not "walk" around the floor. She is very happy with the product.

The rug pad was slightly larger than the rug but it was easy to trim. It is thick and I am sure it will protect our dining room floor better than the prior pad which ended up stuck to the wooden floor. The pad makes our new area rug seem even thicker. It is nice to walk on.

I was very impressed by the quality of this rug pad. It is considerably cheaper on Overstock than in home decor stores and hardware stores. It has a nice thickness that keeps your rug in place while giving you extra comfort. Definite thumbs up on this product.

This is a great Rug Pad. I am very pleased with the way it feels under the new rug I ordered along with it and I only had to do some slight trimming.
I was expecting the premium hard surface and carpet rug pad to have a little more cushion to it. It was a lot thinner than I expected. BUT I cannot complain because I got exactly what the description said. So, if you are looking for a soft pad, this is not it.
FAST shipping, good quality rug pad, reasonably price. Good deal!
The rug pad arrived very quickly after order was placed and was in a package that I could handle by myself. The pad unfolded easily and laid completely flat once the rug was placed on it. I was planning to use it for a 8 x 11 rug and was a little worried that it may be too short or oversized where I would have to break out the scissors. However it worked perfectly - no cutting or wishing I had more to work with. Would definately buy again.
Area rug still moves and I have to readjust every few weeks.
