(on hardwood floors?)** A: The softer more plush side is what you want touching your floors. Neither side is harmful but softer side down.. **Q: Which side of the pad goes on the floor and which side faces the rug? There is a texture on one side of the pad. I'm wondering if it matters.** A: http://www.rugpadcorner.com/2013/10/08/which-side-of-felt-rug-pad-goes-down/This smoother side is meant to be used up against the back of an area rug. The other side is a little fuzzier and softer and it goes against the hard floor. The reason for this is to prevent any scratching or damage to hardwood floors. It is argued that the smoother side provides a stiffer foundation for the back of the area rug, adding to the protection of the rug. Based on this, always place a felt rug pad softer side down against the floor. **Q: is this wool or cotton felt?** A: Why are there shiny bits of plastic in this felt? **Q: Can you cut a 9 X12 pad slightly smaller?** A: The seller will do this for you, at no additional fee. Just type the dimensions into the "gift message" box at the time of purchase. OR, if you already have this in your possession,it's easy to cut with a proper tool, for example: 1) a sheet rock knife, 2) a carpet knife or 3) WIRE CUTTER (this is what I used, and it was sooooo much easier than with my sheet rock knife.
