Carpet-on-Carpet Rug Pad

I was somewhat skeptical that this rug pad would eliminate the bunching and shifting of my area rugs because both already had "non-slip" backing that had worked fine on hard floors. My new apartment came with blah beige carpet that I really wanted to liven up, but my rugs were driving me crazy! No more - these rug pads have been down for a couple of weeks and my rugs are staying put. One in the dining area and one in the living room have survived not only me and my dog, but my active six-year-old granddaughter. I have 5x7 rugs and the pad was easy to cut to length, plus I installed it my self by rolling it out as I removed the lower plastic, then rolled my rug over it while removing the upper plastic. Holds tight but was easy to reposition when I didn't get it quite square on the first try. I highly recommend this product!

I have to admit I was skeptical that this rug pad was going to work seeing how many ripples formed in the rug that I placed on my wall to wall carpet no matter how many times I tried to adjust it. This carpet on carpet really did the trick! It was a little difficult to adhere given my large rug size and it was a two person job. I wish directions would have been included in the packaging but thanks to other reviewers advice, we got it down properly. After a month of use, it still looks great and is adhering nicely. Some problem occurred with shipping and it was not 2 days as promised and apparently a mix up with Fed Ex. It took 8 days to arrive and was shipped from the same state!

Ok, call me a rug newbie... but I had no clue you had to remove the plastic backing from both sides of the pad before putting it underneath your rug. Unfortunately, there weren't any instructions that came with the pad, so I was scratching my head trying to figure out why this pad was getting such good reviews while my rug was slip-sliding all over my carpet. Once I removed the plastic backing from each side, I could see why it works so well... it's super sticky. It sticks to the carpet and it sticks to the area rug, no sliding at all, even when vacuuming with my Dyson. So yes, it works really well, just take the backing off! :)

A word of caution: don't do what I did! When I first received this rug pad, I thought nothing of it and just put it under my rug. But when I noticed that my rug just kept moving around I thought that this rug pad didn't work at all. Fortunately, I'm very inquisitive and after looking closer at the rug pad I wondered if I was supposed to do something with it before just putting it in place. Sure enough, I needed to remove a film to expose the sticky side (on both sides). And voila'! It now works like a charm. My rug doesn't budge!

The Carpet on carpet rug pad was just what was needed to keep my area carpet from buckling on the wall to wall carpet. I needed to trim it to size and my neighbor gave me an assist in positioning the pad exactly where I wanted the carpet to go. First we pulled off the clear cover sheet on one side of the pad,set it in place and then walked over it in stocking feet to help keep it positioned correctly. We then peeled off the top cover sheet and positioned the carpet directly over the pad. Once in place we walked all over the carpet to complete it's placement. It has not moved since!

These have worked great. I have a 5x8 rug in my daughter's room that needed to be reset every few days, and a smaller hex rug in our master that would almost just roll up on itself, despite having furniture on top of it. The furniture just moved with the rug. The baby's rug hasn't moved an inch, and the rug pad I cut and pieced together is holding the hex rug perfectly in place. That hex rug has vexed me for 10 years, now I barely give it a second thought.

This is the third purchase of this product since I find it to be the best available for holding rugs or carpets on wall-to-wall carpeting.

Great pad and the value is high quality. Taking the sheet of plastic off pad is a two person job, not difficult just big and super stick power. My area rugs stays put and does not move, I'd recommend this item for purchase.

How this doesn't have a 5 star escapes me. It holds the rug snugly in place and is super thin. I found it works best to place the bad down exactly where you want the carpet aligned how you want it and then roll the carpet on top of it. So happy with this purchase.

This solved my problem to stop my rug from creeping, as it is laying on top of carpeting.. Works well and I would buy it again.
