Veken Non Slip Rug Pad Gripper 8 x 10 Feet Extra Thick Pads for Any Hard Surface Floors, Keep Your Rugs Safe and in Place, Under Carpet Anti Skid Mat by Veken

They came sealed in plastic so you know they are brand new and both were as advertised regarding make & size. So far they work reasonably well, though my mats still move & I have to correct them often enough that it can be annoying at times – I wish I could somehow get them stuck on the back of my mats and then it would be perfect! The only reason I don’t find a way to do that is because the manufacturer’s label made it seem as if you couldn’t put these in the wash, so if I permanently stuck these to my mats, I wouldn’t be able to wash them like I like. They do prevent the small area rugs I bought from the designer Natural Life from sliding about so readily as they were before, and that’s the main reason I ordered these: I’m disabled and have terrible trouble with balance & coordination, which has only gotten worse with time, and I fell really bad on several occasions because of the mats slipping, so I needed to find a solution — I love my mats as they are very pretty BoHo rugs from a beloved designer and typically more expensive than the norm (I guess it’s irony that they are designer with a more expensive price tag yet they didn’t think of adding some traction on the bottom🤨). The products are actually a little too large I think so I’m going to cut a little off and see if that helps too – they are easy to resize as the manufacturer mentioned on the packaging slip, as all you need is scissors or an exacto knife. Overall they help prevent slips and falls, but you do need to correct them often if you keep the original size of the product and your mats are the same size based on my experience with them for over a month; I will update my review after cutting them down slightly if that improves things so they don’t always end up sticking out the side of my area rugs – obviously, I don’t like that look and I keep having to change it! It’s my only complaint. They do come very fast and are a reasonable price for what you receive & compared to competitors. I just wish the mats wouldn’t keep slipping off them – the product themselves never move so it grips the floors perfectly, just not the mats. You have to be sure to follow the instructions so that you have the product’s one side laying on the floor – perhaps that’s another reason why the mats keep slipping off, as the two sides are different with one having more traction to stick on the floor than the other side that the mats lay against; perhaps they should’ve made it the same on both sides so it also holds the mat firm against it. I also don’t like that per the manufacturer, there doesn’t seem to be a way to clean these affectively, and they basically say on the packaging slip that eventually they will have to be replaced; they catch a lot of debris and it takes a bit to go outside and shake it all out because it sticks on there pretty good. I’m not sure if it’s a sanitary as I would like overall, and I still wish for a better solution. As for now, I’ll try giving these a chance as I have been. So far, I’m sightly satisfied but not perfectly so and I hope cutting them slightly may do the trick with regards to slipping mats. I will update on that soon. But I think it is important for people to know that they are not a permanent solution, they aren’t the easiest to clean and they tend to stick perfectly to the floor but not perfectly on the mats/area rugs so that they constantly shift off a bit, exposing the product underneath.

I bought a rug without an under-pad. Big mistake; the rug slipped all over the floor. Dangerous for elderly feet.

So I hunted on Amazon for an inexpensive alternative to the ones offered on the rug website – they cost almost as much as the rug. I wasn’t expecting much. But it turns out to be great. No more slipping, which is what I wanted. I’ll definitely buy it again.

True to size and well packaged. Some other people reported a smell, I did not notice anything.
We have now bought several and they really keep the rugs in place. They were recommended by a flooring guy for our hardwood floors as the backs of some carpets are rough and over time can damaged the floor.
The way they are packaged says something about the company in my opinion. They are tightly wrapped and once you unfold them them they are cut evenly and true to size.

I bought this as a pad for the jute rug I also bought. There are hardwood floors and I did not want slipping and sliding. It lays down flat without any buckling or having to keep moving it around. For such a reasonable price, it works perfectly. The rug has not moved. This was a good buy.

This pad was different from other purchases in that it really stuck together, so I had to carefully, unfold it, and it had a stronger odor. Appreciate that it provides some padding, making our new carpet more comfortable & keeping it in place.
