Collection: Rug Pads for Carpet

Putting an area rug over wall-to-wall carpet? It won't stay put on its own — it creeps, bunches, and curls at the corners, because carpet-on-carpet has nothing to grip. The fix is a reversible pad designed to work in both directions: the fiber side grabs the carpet below while the backing holds your rug above, locking the two layers together so the rug stops wandering.

That's exactly what the pads below do. Flip them so the fiber (scratch) side faces down into the carpet, and the rug sits still. Every pad is cut to the exact size of your rug and made right here in Dalton, Georgia. For rug-over-carpet, here's how to choose:

If your carpet is low-pile or you want it to disappear: the thin, low-profile pads — Low-Profile All-Surface, Designer Cushioned, or Ultra-Thin — thin, firm pads that stop the slide without adding a noticeable layer between rug and carpet.

If you want extra body and hold: our cushioned pads — the best-selling Ultimate All-Surface or the Extra-Thick All-Surface — more substantial pads that grip hard on plush carpet and give a large rug real stability.

If spills or pets are a concern: the Moisture-Barrier All-Surface adds a sealed backing that keeps accidents from soaking through your rug into the carpet below — a smart layer in dining rooms and pet areas.
