We got this LAPPLJUNG RUTA rug from ikea for the loft in December. I love this rug, It is big and most importantly
fits my budget. This is the only rug in the house which gets used a lot as both
the kids (and their friends) use this room extensively.
We could hear lot of
footsteps from entry way, when the kids run around or are playing in loft. It was sometimes
annoying if we were sitting in the entry way. I was so glad when Rug Pad Corner representative contacted
me. I was beyond thrilled that they found me, let alone they wanted me to
review their product.
All their rug pads are made in USA and eco-friendly i.e they
use only Recycled or Natural Materials – No Chemicals, Glues or Adhesives. I
received two No-Muv carpet pads. It was nicely packaged, the best part about the
rug pad was that there was no chemical odor you normally get to experience with
new rugs/rug pads. Had to wait till the weekend to lay it in the loft which was the difficult part.
This is how the Rug Pad looks.
With the addition of rug pad, the noise has reduced considerably. Since the rug pad is thick, it is very very soft on the feet and also due to the thickness rug feels like an expensive one. Although I knew rugpads are good for the rug, I didn’t know what value these bring in. Also Since we have carpet/tiles under most of the rugs and the furniture sits on it, shifting was not an issue. Now that I have one, I know what I was missing all these days.
Why do we need rug pads?
The kind of rug pad used depends on the type the floor the
rug sits on. They are not made the same way for all types of floors.
- A good rug pad adds softness, holds the rug in place and prevents slips.
- It also prevents the floor getting the dye transfer or staining from the rug.
- If there is any furniture sitting on the rug, rug pad extends the life of rug by preventing the fibers being crushed by the furniture weight
The rug pad should be about two inches less than your rug
size on all four sides. So if the size of your rug size is 8'x10', then the rug
pad size should be 7'10”x9'10”, a total of two inches less in each dimension,
which is the same as one inch less on all four sides.
I highly recommend Rug Pad Corner if you’re in the market
for a rug pad. The best part I liked
about them along with their high quality green products is that they donate a
portion of the proceeds from every order to a charitable cause. You choose one
of three organizations The American Red Cross, St Jude Children’s Research
Hospital or The American Cancer Society during the ordering process
and they will. Isn’t it a sweet deal? Let me make it little more sweeter. All my readers get
