A rug used on carpet can slip and become wrinkled. No-Muv carpet pad is truly the only rug pad that will prevent a rug on carpet from slipping and keep it flat and wrinkle free. No-Muv is specifically designed for use on top if carpet.
There are pads available that claim to keep rugs flat on carpet. These rug pads are usually very thin and sticky. The problem with these sticky pads is that they do not work, particularly when the rug is walked on or has furniture on it. A rug needs a substantial foundation under it in order for it to resist pressure and stay flat on carpet. No-Muv is the only rug pad that is 1/4 of an inch thick and dense enough to resist the pressure found with the weight of furniture and foot steps.
Furniture Feet Pads
I am always asked by people on how to keep their rug flat on carpet. I have seen enough rooms where the rug is wrinkled and bunching up. This wrinkling poses a few problems. First, the rug does not look good if it is not flat. Second, when the wrinkled areas are walked on, this causes premature and uneven wear to those areas of the rug, hence reducing the value and life span. Lastly, when the rug is not flat, it can cause a trip hazard and injury.
I have tried the sticky pads and the double-sided tape only for them not to work. These types of sticky pads are not heavy and solid enough to resist the pressure of foot steps and furniture pushing down into the carpet. There truly needs to be a solid pad underneath. No-Muv is proven to work and truly does. While No-Muv may be more expensive than any other rug on carpet pad, it is a small price to pay to prevent damage to your rug and to prevent harm from tripping over the wrinkles in the rug.
