Review: A Bugger to cut - Iam not known for my manual dexterity.Indeed if I can I get someone in to adress maintenance issues I do. However I did lay this to cushion my new vintage and very expensive rug. It does the job beautifully . But my goodness cutting it was a marathon for me . The new scissors bought for the job managed what felt like an inch per hour ! Two hours later I triumphantly surveyed the somewhat ragged result.Dont get me wrong the product works well, but do get very sharp scissors or get someone in ! Review: Good protection and peace of mind for LVP flooring - We recently installed new LVP flooring in our basement and needed a protective rug pad for our 8x10' area rug. We initially tried the Mohawk grip felt rug pad but found out that our manufacturer didn't approve of the rubber backing so we went with this just felt version. We chose the 1/4" height which we found adequate if not just a bit high as it does raise the rug off the surface (see photo). Any larger and it would be a tripping hazard. The product arrived rolled and larger in size than our area rug so trimming was necessary. One side is rough to hold against the carpet and one is soft for the floor. We trimmed 2" off each side. The easiest way we found to trim it was to place the rug upside down, place the mat on top 2" offset from 2 corners and then trim the remaining two corners. We creased each and used a 4' straightedge to draw a line with a sharpie and we used a sharp boxcutter to make several small passes. We placed a remnant piece of carpet under the pad and cardboard so as to not cut through the rug. We've had the mat on for around one month now and on our 8x10' rug with some furniture on top have noticed no slipping. It gives perhaps a bit of cusion but not much but that wasn't our intent. We purchased it so that the rug would not scratch the flooring and for that it seems to be doing it's job. Overall I would say it's a good value and much cheaper than some competitor products. Positives + Great price compared to competitors + Seems like a well made product and from a reputable brand + Different size options and comes larger to allow for trimming + No noticeable smells or offgassing + Doesn't move when weighted with furniture. Did not try it without. I would imagine a heavy large rug may be sufficient but a smaller rug would need some type of rubberish backing to prevent slipping. Negatives - Even at the 1/4" height at offset the recommended 2" from the sides it still sticks up a bit which can gather some dust and perhaps be a tripping hazard. - This may be both a positive and negative in that since it is so dense it can be difficult to cut properly. A sharp new blade and several passes with adequate pressure seemed to work best. ## Features - PLUSH FELT CUSHION: Choose from three thickness options - 1/4", 3/8”, and 1/2" - offering various levels of a soft feel underfoot, sound absorption, insulation, and extra comfort for your area rugs in busy spaces. - RECOMMENDED USE: This FELT ONLY rug pad is not intended to stop area rugs from slipping. These rug pads are crafted for use under area rugs that are anchored down by heavy items such as furniture, large household décor pieces, or heavier area rugs. - LONG-LASTING PROTECTION: The durable felt protects your flooring from long-term damage, such as scratches, scrapes, punctures, other types of abrasion wear, and discoloration from your area rug backing. - EXTEND LIFE OF RUG: Prevents area rugs from creasing, bunching, and wrinkling, and keeps your rug surface smooth on the floor to make vacuuming easier. (AREA RUG NOT INCLUDED) - CUSTOMIZABLE SIZING: Simply score the surface and trim your rug pad with scissors to fit any area rug size or shape by cutting approximately 1-2 inch short of your area rugs perimeter. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0778MS8TV | | Best Sellers Rank | 318,244 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 4,399 in Area Rugs | | Brand | Mohawk Home | | Brand Name | Mohawk Home | | Colour | Grey | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 13,405 Reviews | | Fabric Type | 95% Polyester Fibers/5% Other Fibers, Felt | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00086093583330 | | Included Components | Rug Pad | | Item Dimensions L x W | 182.9L x 121.9W centimetres | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Thickness | 0.25 Inches | | Item Type Name | Rug Pads | | Item Weight | 4 Pounds | | Item weight | 4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Mohawk Home | | Manufacturer Part Number | DR005 999 048072 EC | | Material | Recycled Material 95% Polyester/ 5% Other Fibers | | Material Type | Recycled Material 95% Polyester/ 5% Other Fibers | | Model Number | DR005 999 048072 EC | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Care Instructions | Mild Detergent | | Product dimensions | 182.9L x 121.9W centimetres | | Size | 122 x 183 cm (Rectangular) | | Surface Recommendation | Floor | | UPC | 086093583330 | | Unit Count | 2.2297 square meter | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Mohawk Home - **Colour:** Grey - **Material:** Recycled Material - **Product dimensions:** 4.27L x 3.05W metres - **Size:** 305 x 427 cm (Rectangular) ## Images ![MOHAWK Rug Pads, Recycled Material 95% Polyester/ 5% Other Fibers, Grey, 4-footx6-foot - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GieYuZTjL.jpg) ![MOHAWK Rug Pads, Recycled Material 95% Polyester/ 5% Other Fibers, Grey, 4-footx6-foot - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91IAmoDA34L.jpg) ![MOHAWK Rug Pads, Recycled Material 95% Polyester/ 5% Other Fibers, Grey, 4-footx6-foot - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91qn68oNLTL.jpg) ![MOHAWK Rug Pads, Recycled Material 95% Polyester/ 5% Other Fibers, Grey, 4-footx6-foot - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91wsaexVuRL.jpg) ![MOHAWK Rug Pads, Recycled Material 95% Polyester/ 5% Other Fibers, Grey, 4-footx6-foot - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81oSX4QeA-L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Bugger to cut *by A***R on 21 August 2024* Iam not known for my manual dexterity.Indeed if I can I get someone in to adress maintenance issues I do.

I have a .47 pile height area rug (8x10) and wanted a 1/4” under pad. Other reviews say it is not “non slipping” but with the heavy area rug on top, it isn’t sliding anywhere! Plus I have furniture resting on 3 edges. Cuts easy with regular scissors. I love the plushness of my area rug with this under pad. Cost was a good deal for this quality underpad. I would certainly recommend it for a larger area rug. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/225493016-mohawk-rug-pads-recycled-material-95-polyester-5-other-fibers](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/225493016-mohawk-rug-pads-recycled-material-95-polyester-5-other-fibers) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
