A must have!
March 4, 2013
I have never bothered using the PB rug pads with our rugs, but decided to give it a try with my son's bedroom rug. We loved it so much I ordered pads to go under all of our rugs! Definitely a must have. Also easy to trim to size if needed.

Get the Premium Pad!
February 28, 2013
The premium pad makes a huge difference under a rug and well worth the extra cost over the cheapy rubber ones. We did need to trim one side - took about 2 minutes.

No surcharge at PB teen!
November 28, 2012
One of the PB associates said that this is the same rug pad as sold at PB teen (w/o the surcharge). We ordered an 8 x 10 (from PB teen) and cut it to fit the 5 x 8 Play in the Park rug. The 8 ft side was perfect and did not need to be trimmed. We choose to trim the other side because we have other rugs that need pads and this was a more cost effective approach than ordering them individually. If we were using it under an 8 x 10 rug it does not appear that it would need to be cut so maybe the size issue has been resolved. If you do need to cut it a long level, a utility knife, and a block of wood underneath works well. The pad feels great underfoot and for kids to sit and play on. We are using it over a hardwood floor and the pad and rug both stay in place really well. It emits a fairly strong smell when first taken out of the plastic, but if unrolled and left outside for a day most of it goes away. This is the best rug pad we could find and would highly recommend it!

Pad is bigger than the PB rug?!?
May 4, 2012
I bought the 5x8 pad to go w a 5x8 Pottery Barn rug for my daughter's room. Pad is fine. Makes carpet soft underfoot and reduces slippage, but why on earth is it a good 1-1.5" wider than the carpet I bought with it? As a new mother, I really dont have time to trim the dang rug pad so it doesn't stick out from under the carpet. Guess I will add that to my growing list of chores. Disappointing.

Great quality but too big
January 18, 2012
I ordered the 8x10 pad to go with the Pottery Barn Trellis rug and we had to trim it a little which is the only reason I am giving it 4 stars. It seems like a really great quality pad that really grabs the rug and can be used on carpet as well as non-carpeted floors so, it works for me and I recommend it.

Too big
October 6, 2011
Good pad - thicker than the usual ones I have with my Oriental rugs from a rug dealer. But, like others have said, it is cut about two inches two big on one side. What a pain to have to cut this 1/2 inch thick pad. A buyer should not have to deal with this it should be sized correctly as stated, period.

Rug pad
September 21, 2011
My biggest complaint with the rug pad is that I ordered a 7x9 rug and a 7x9 rug pad, and the rug pad was a couple of inches bigger than the rug. My husband had to get out his razor blade and cut off some of the pad so you couldn't see it.

Excellent Pad
July 6, 2011
I was unsure whether or not to get this when I placed my rug order and I am glad I did. This rug pad is dual sided: one side is for carpet and the other for hard flooring. I have not tried the carpet side, but from the look of things it looks like it would work very well. I have the hard flooring side down over my Pergo floors and the rug on top does not move. My little one has done everything in her power to try to get the rug to move and the pad will not let it. The pad is also very well made and adds a wonderful layer of cushion under the rug. It makes the rug feel like well padded carpet instead of a rug on a hard floor. I would highly recommend this pad under rugs on hard flooring.

Not quite a good fit
October 1, 2010
The rug pad (9x7) works well and is recommended for rugs that are on the "thinner" side. However, we had to trim a couple inches off the long side of the rug pad so that it would fit under the corresponding pottery barn kids rug. So either the rug was smaller or the pad was larger - really shouldn't happen. You'll need really high quality strong shears since a utility knife won't get the job done. It was a little annoying.

Good but had to cut it
August 27, 2010
This is a good thick rug pad that is holding the carpet in place. However, I had to cut it about 2 inches on one side to make it fit under the Pottery Barn carpet I bought with it. This was frustrating - why not make sure they fit correctly with the rugs? I agree with other reviewers who've said that, for the price, you shouldn't have to do anything but roll it out.

Not good for the chenille oval rugs
May 25, 2010
I had gotten the round rug pad thinking that it could work for the oval rugs here at PBK, but alas, it does not work; which is a shame. Why can't they make one for those? Other than that, the pad was great - cushy, no chemical smell like some other rug pads. I'd only recommend for circular and square or rectangular rugs.

Perfect Rug Pad

I bought this rug pad to go under a 5ft circle carpet we ordered for our son's nursery. It keeps the carpet right where we want it.

Great pad but a little too big
February 15, 2010
I purchased the circle rug pad for my baby's nursery. It is a great pad but was too large for the rug. It was pretty simple to cut with strong scissors. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

Serves its purpose
January 19, 2010
The rug pads are fine. They work. However, for the price, they should be cut the proper size for you. Instead, we had to cut them to adjust their size.
