This rug pad adds the right amout of cushion for the carpet.  However, I ended up cutting off about an inch on the length when both the area rug and the rug pad were suppose to be the same size.  Just a little extra unexpected work...  Possibly check the measurements again so that customers know they have the correct size....Or maybe, the wrong size was inadvertently sent to me by mistake.  Overall, I'm content with both the padding and the carpet minus the extra work.
