Rug pads

Natural-rubber, wool and jute rug pads without PVC or vinyl.

The pad beneath a rug contributes its own backing, cushioning and adhesives to the room.  We favor natural materials and identify blends instead of assuming a felt pad is wool.  Floor compatibility is essential: rubber and other backings can affect some finishes, so follow the flooring and pad manufacturers' guidance.
