Do Not Use For Runners!AliciaI agree with the other recent review. It's ok if something like furniture is holding it down, but it is terrible for runners, especially in high traffic areas. It literally will not keep it in place and in fact you will go flying if you step on the end quickly. Very disappointing product from Ikea!!2
Unconventional use: Secured stacked items without slippageAmyBought this years ago for use under a wool shag rug. Works well enough for that but if you move the rug, it can possibly buckle against itself - hard to unroll and flatten it out. Not a deal breaker. It works well.
I, however, bought it recently to cut up into small squares to slip between plastic storage bags full of pants and sweaters. The top of the bagged pants kept slipping, falling off the pile. Slipping a piece of this non-slip rug pad between the items at the top secured the pile and prevented slippage. Presto! Wha-la!5
Great Rug PadStephanieIt works well to keep the rug in place and doesn’t make the rug too thick. Really good price and quality.5
WorksPhoebeReally sticky. Kinda had to mess with it to get it in place. BUT once down our rug doesn't move. We have 3 active cats, a pit bull, and a 3 month old, so trust when I say in spite of all that activity, the rug hasn't moved5
The detail instruction paper stick on itJinfuThe detailed instruction sticker on it is really annoying and hard to remove.1
definitely the worst product of its kindMarkI've never used or encountered a worse rug pad. It does a pretty poor job keeping the rug in place, it does a pretty poor job keeping itself in place while you're trying to use it. It is the most energy-intensive IKEA packaging experience I've yet come across, I spent at least 20 minutes just unfolding the thing.
Do not recommend. Do not recommend. Do not recommend.2
PAPER THINNariThis provided no padding whatsoever. It was truly paper thin. Do not recommend.1
Rug padBetsyVery surprised with this rug pads does a job and keeping rugs in place. Impressed considering it was a little too thin.5
Can’t go wrong with this item…KameronGreat to go under your area rug, or I have even used it under a mattress on bed slats. It will keep them from moving around or slipping on you. Can’t beat it for the price, use or quality.5
Works greatLeeThis does what it's supposed to do; it stops rugs from slipping, which is critical with an elderly person in our household. This is easy to use and cut down to size and it holds like an anchor. If there are any doubts about the size, do what the one reviewer suggests and buy a little more, trim some down and have some extra on hand if needed.5
Challenging to handle - stretches over timeNorlieThis anti-slip rug underlay is a great idea, but challenging to apply with one person since it sticks to itself.
It seems like a very thin piece of felt with a waxy adhesive applied. Once in place, it seems to keep the rug from slipping. However we noticed over time that it slowly stretches and bunches up under the carpet, probably because it is so thin.2
new ones don’t workEmilyI have been using these for years and my rugs do not budge on my hardwood floors. Just purchased more of these to go under some new rugs and they do not work at all anymore. The material doesn’t even stick to itself and I remember what a hard time I had with the old ones getting it to separate from itself. 2
Does its jobYuanhangIt has kind of a sticky texture to it, as though it's coated in some sort of adhesive. It doesn't leave any residue behind though and does a good job of keeping my rug in place. My only request is that it come in more sizes to accommodate all sorts of IKEA rugs - the next size up would need a significant amount trimmed to be usable for a 7'x9' rug, contributing to excess/waste. This feels like a one-time use product, meaning I would probably toss it and buy a new one if I moved apartments.4
Works as expectedSarahVery helpful and easy to use5
Didn’t help at all-even made it worse.ShariNot sure how a carpet pad w/anti skid makes it worse but maybe I misread what this is? Maybe it was just a pad and wasn’t made to stop rug from moving? Might just be me not reading? Although I did just check and it says anti skid. Doesn’t work at all.2
Works beautifullyAmyI’ve used this to hold rugs in place for years. No residue left behind.5
Works as designedJohnKeeps the rug from sliding around.5
Not as slip proofPatriciaThis fits the product description. Rugs can slip off the underlay and it can slip from the floor.3
Great for the priceLaurenWorks very well as anti slip. It is very thin so do not expect this to add any cushion under your rug. 4
works greatJackieThis works great, although it is not, I repeat not, a rug PAD.5
