Do I need a rug pad?

Yes! Rug pads keep the rug properly positioned, preventing it from sliding and wrinkling. Rug pads also reduce wear and tear on the rug. Rug pads help to absorb the impact of feet and noise and make vacuuming easier. Rug pads help protect smooth-surface flooring, like hardwood or laminate, from being scratched by back of the rug too.
