About this product
Transform your living space with the Mohawk Home Carpet Pad – a durable and versatile solution for protecting your floors and enhancing comfort under rugs. Crafted from 95% recycled polyester and 5% other fibres, this felt cushion offers exceptional sound absorption, insulation, and added cushioning, ideal for busy households and high-traffic areas.
Designed to safeguard against everyday wear and tear, this 1.5m x 2.1m pad shields your floors – including hardwood, laminate, and carpet – from scratches, scrapes, punctures, and discoloration caused by the carpet backing. Its plush felt construction prevents wrinkles and creases, keeping your rug surface smooth for effortless vacuuming and extending its lifespan. This is particularly beneficial for anchoring rugs with furniture or larger decorative pieces.
The adaptable size allows you to easily trim the pad to suit your specific rug dimensions – simply cut approximately 1-2 inches short from the circumference. Perfect for adding a layer of luxurious comfort and protecting vulnerable flooring, this pad is a practical investment for any homeowner. Note that it’s designed as a protective underlayment for rugs secured by heavy objects, not a slip-resistant solution.
This felt rug pad, part of the Mohawk Home collection (DR005 999 060084 EC), offers peace of mind and enhances your interior décor. The material is suitable for use on hard floors, tiles, or carpeted surfaces, and comes in a grey colour.
