I cannot believe how well this stuff works! I have a 2x7 rag style rug On hardwood floor that would not stay put. I was having to adjust it daily and after my 5 year old niece took a spill when the rug slipped out from under her, I knew I needed to secure it. I did some research and didn’t want to use anything that could damage my hardwoods, such as floor tape. This pad was the perfect solution! It was inexpensive, can be cut to fit, super easy to use and works wonderfully to hold that slippery sucker in place. No more adjusting every time one of my dogs runs through the room! I can now easily vacuum the rug and it doesn’t budge. I even tried to get it to move and couldn’t. The only “weak spot” I found is the where the fringe on rug is. There’s an inch on each end with fringe and rather than have the rug pad show under the fringe, I trimmed it. So, the fringe isn’t secure and can slide. Just something to consider if your using on a rug with fringed edges. Not sure it would work on carpet? But this stuff can be used for securing rugs to hard floors, securing mattresses to box springs, as a shelf liner, etc. As for thickness, there’s not much.. at all. It’s not going to make a noticeable difference as far as making rugs feel more plush, but I wasn’t concerned with that aspect. There are other pads out there that are thicker if that’s what one is needing. For the price, this was a great option to secure my rug and eliminate a safety hazard. Definitely recommend !! 👍🏼👍🏼
