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! :)

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.

So happy with the rug pad.
Perfect size and my area rug under my table lays nice and flat.

Easy to use and quick delivery! Cut to size and enjoy the soft protection under your carpet!

Nice basic rug pad to keep the rugs in place. Nothing fancy, but works well.

You'll definitely need two people - and patience. But it's worth it!

WORKS PRETTY GOOD. BUNCHES UP WHEN YOU TRY TO REPOSITION IT. FOUND IT EASIER TO PUT PAD DOWN ON CARPET FIRST THEN LAY AREA RUG ON TOP OF IT. ONCE YOU GET IT SET IT STAYS IN PLACE PRETTY GOOD.

I needed a pad that would prevent the area rug over our carpet from shifting and bulking up when an occupied wheelchair is pushed over it. This performed admirably..

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!

Prompt delivery. Just received it so cannot say how well it works.
