I’ve been looking for a better nonslip right pad that actually stays in place. I have used the cream colored rubber “square” with an open square pattern rug underlay which doesn’t help keep my rugs in place. This rug pad has a little more cushion and reminds me of a super thin yoga mat. It even has a grippy like feeling to it. I’ve cut it up into smaller pieces for my rigs placed in front of the sliding glass door entrance. So far these rug pads have been staying in place under a small cotton rug and a small sisal rug on hardwood floors.
