How to Keep Rugs Flat on Carpet - Best Rug on Carpet Pad

The beauty of a an area rug on carpet is timeless. Many people ask me "what do I do for rugs on carpet to keep them from moving?" The answer to this is to use the right rug pad for rugs on carpet.

Not all rug pads work for a rug on carpet. Since the carpet underneath does not provide as strong of a foundation for your rug as a hard floor surface does, it is important that your rug pad is rated for rugs on carpet. Because a rug on carpet needs extra support in a rug pad, there are a few good choices in rug pads.

I often hear a person state that they have tried a certain rug pad for rugs on carpet that is very thin and is sticky or tacky on both sides. This type of rug to rug pad tends to work only for a short while. The problem with this type of pad is that it does not perform well for rugs on carpet that have furniture sitting on them. Here, this sticky rug to carpet pad is not firm or dense enough to resist any furniture impressions onto the rug. Another problem with this sticky rug on carpet pad is that after some use if you try to remove or move it, sometimes the sticky adhesive leaves a residue on your rug and carpet.

There are two good choices for the best rug pad for rugs on carpet. There is a rug to carpet pad called No-Muv which is specifically designed for rugs on carpet and is only used for that purpose. It adds an incredible foundation under your area rug and has been proven to keep rugs still and from creeping as well as resist any furniture pressure the rug may have on it. No-Muv rug pad is made in The USA and although more expensive than its counterparts, it gets the job done for rugs on carpet and lasts for many years.

The only other best rug pad for rugs on carpet is the quality jute and rubber combination rug pad that I speak of in my other articles. This rug to carpet pad is a rug on carpet pad as well as one of the best rug pads for hard floor surfaces. It has a reversible use and for rugs on carpet, simply use it with the natural rubber side up against your area rug and it works quite well.

The jute side that goes down against your carpet is textured and this helps the rug pad grab your carpet. The solid rubber side goes up against your rug and since the rubber has a tendency to grab, it holds your area rug quite well. Be sure if this is the rug to carpet pad that you choose that the rubber side is not a sprayed on latex, rather a solid layer of natural rubber. There are many rug pads available that look like this pad yet read the description and if you notice the words latex rubber, then it probably is sprayed on. The best rug on carpet pad that is made from a solid layer of rubber can be viewed at www.rugpadcorner.com.

Keep your rugs on carpet looking good and safe for all to enjoy by using the right rug on carpet pad. You will prevent premature wear to your rug, create a nice look for your room and prevent trip hazards for people walking over the rug.
