This is a solid choice for non slip traction. One side has a rubberized coating and the flipped side is a felted pad. It has far more heft than traditional, waffle weave, non-slip pads and provides superior traction. The rug rests solidly on the felted side of the pad with no bunching or sliding around. I hoped the product would be thicker and more plush underfoot but I am still quite satisfied with the pad.
