Welcome to Rug Pads USA
As a retail area rug vendor and manufacturer for over 25 years, I have come across my fair share of area rug pads for wood flooring. I am consistently surprised at the sheer number of rug pads offered on todays market. I am also appalled by the cost of some of these pads, especially the felt+rubber ones offered. A hardwood floor rug pad should not cost more than an Oriental rug. Given our experience with testing pretty much ever rug pad imaginable on the market, we came up with our own list of the very best rug pads for wood floors we could possibly find.
Our staff made a decision to stay within the realm of hardwood floor area rug pads exclusively, since this is overwhelmingly the most frequent surface variety available. Our staff have thoroughly chosen all very reputable rug pads intended for wood floors currently available on the present day marketplace. Our staff selected from over a dozen different manufactures and over 100 types of area rug pads, this is what all of us determined.
The area rug pads all of us tested were of all different weights, thickness, and materials. Given the considerable variety of area rug pads listed for sale, we decided to group every Oriental rug pad that we evaluated into different groups then assess them between each other. A number of buyers are looking for a fuller, more high quality, area rug underlay to make their rugs genuinely feel gentler and a lot more distinctive. While, a second consumer may be looking for a very simple thin non-slip pad to keep their area rug fixed in position. Our staff chose to categorize rug pads with similar features and evaluate them with similar products within their group.

Recommendations: The best rug pad for hardwood floor depends entirely on what the consumer is looking for. Thickness, size, type, cost of the rug, your budget, are all important when determining which pad to buy. If you have a expensive handwoven oriental rug and are looking for the best way to protect it, we would typically go with the super-lock natural or premium-lock rug pad for hardwood floor. Choosing between these two brands depends on the thickness your looking for in a hardwood floor rug pad. Our premium-lock rug pad is an extra thick rug pad for hardwood floors, which will provide an additional cushioning which will lessen the impact from foot traffic and furniture. Our super-lock natural is a high performance, natural rubber hardwood rug pad which will provide excellent non protection, with slightly less impact absorption. Both provide amble non slip rug pad protection on hardwood and wood floors.
If your looking for a rug pad to support a mid-lower quality area rug or oriental rug, then we typically recommend our econo-lock, econo-lock natural, super-lock, or superior lock rug pads. Our econo-lock and econo-lock natural pads are ultra thin, provide excellent support and non-slip rug pad protection, but without providing any additional cushioning or insulation. They are perfect when your in need of a high quality rug pad for non-slip protection on your wood floors, or when rug thickness is an issue. Superior-lock rug pads provide added thickness between your rug and hardwood floors and meant to absorb more impact. However, we don’t recommend this rug pad on hardwood floor for smaller area rugs, since it has a bit less surface area. We typically recommend our superior lock rug pads for hardwood floors if your looking to maximize cushioning and comfort.
Note that our rug pad selections for hardwood floor should not be your #1 deciding factor, it all depends on what you as the customer are looking for.
