Conveniently Pre-Cut for My Oval Rug
I am very pleased with this rug pad. I looked at others which were not the right size and would have had to be cut. So this one was very conveniently pre-cut for my oval rug. So far it’s been perfect. The rug is staying in place and the padding provides an extra cushion.

How To Cut a Rug Pad to Size for Odd Size Rugs
Most of our rug pads are easily trimmed at home with a good pair of scissors if you need to cut your pads to fit odd shaped rugs.
These are our step-by-step instructions for how to cut a rug pad for odd size rugs:
- Lay out your rug over your rug pad and use a felt-tipped pen to trace the outline of your rug onto your rug pad.
- Use a pair of fabric scissors or sharp household scissors to cut on the inside of the traced line.
- If you have a thicker rug, we recommend cutting an extra inch in from your traced line so the pad sits nicely under the rug without showing.
Getting Round, Half-Round, or Oval Rug Pads
If you need a round, half-round, or oval rug pad, we can custom cut those to your size. We provide shape options including round, oval, and octagon. Then, just enter the correct dimensions of the rug, and we’ll do the rest.
For half-round rug pads, use the text box we provide for special instructions to say it’s a half-round or half-oval size (specify by length or width) and we’ll cut the pad to fit that shape.
Choosing the Right Rug Pad for Odd Size Area Rugs
Whether you're getting a large custom size area rug pad or a pad to match a strangely-sized sheepskin rug, we want to make sure you find the pad that's best for you. Most importantly, that means choosing a pad that meets your specific needs.
Now that you know we can cut any of our custom rug pads down to size, we'd recommend narrowing your search down by function or floor type.
Finding the Proper Rug Pad for a Custom Size Rug By Function
There are a few main functions for rug pads for a custom size rug that tend to resonate with our customers.
Non Slip Rug Pads
With smaller rugs or custom sized rugs, a big concern is rug movement. It can be beyond annoying and downright dangerous to have rugs slipping or bunching up. To fix this, you'll likely want a non slip pad with a natural rubber backing. Our natural rubber will grip your hard floors without damaging them and go easy on the rug fibers.
If natural rubber isn't for you or your floor manufacturer says not to use natural rubber, we'd recommend our Anchor Grip rug pad which uses a soybean oil-based polymer blend for a synthetic backing. The 1/8"-thick rug pad has a solid grippy construction and is easy to cut for custom rug sizes.

Cushioned Pads for a Custom Cut Area Rug
With an area rug on hard surface floors, extra cushioning can make a huge difference to the comfort level of the room. We have many cushioned rug pad options of different materials from memory foam to felt and all of these can be cut to fit rugs of all sizes.
If you know you’ll need to do a lot of custom adjustments, we recommend choosing one of our thinner cushioned pads like one of our 1/4" thick pads such as Eco Plush 1/4", Superior Lock 1/4", or Cloud Comfort 1/4" because they’ll be easier to cut with scissors.

Waterproof Rug Pads
Putting a moisture barrier between your rug and flooring is especially important for people with pets. One of our water-resistant rug pads can act as a moisture deterrent to keep liquids like pet urine from damaging your wood or vinyl floors.
Our waterproof pads like the SpillTech or Anchor Grip rug pads are also easy to cut with scissors to fit a custom shaped rug.

Outdoor Rug Pads
If you're looking for a proper pad for your outdoor rugs, our Super Lock Outdoor rug pad is the best option for you. This rug pad uses a polyvinyl compound in a waffle style design to facilitate airflow between the rug and flooring. The synthetic fiber and airflow help to prevent mold and mildew even in more damp or extreme weather conditions.

Are you able to make half-round rug pads? I see round is listed under shape, so I'm wondering if it could just be cut in half.

We plan on using Eco Plush under bookcases and other stationary pieces of heavy furniture to prevent their bases from making indents on our luxury vinyl tile flooring. Since we plan on cutting the material what thickness would you recommend?

I intend to order a rug pad that is 1/3" thick. Will it be difficult for us to cut it so that it conforms to the custom shape of our rug?

-
What pad do you recommend for a 9' x 13' area rug on a beautiful oak floor? It is big enough not to slide around and I would like minimal thickness. Also, is it recommended to offset the pad from the carpet's dimensions?
I recommend our Eco Plush pad to protect and add some cushioning to your floor. This 100% heat-pressed felt pad comes in three thicknesses: 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2". With regards to the second part of your query, the answer is yes. If you bought a pad the same size as your rug it will never lay flush. So, with our free custom cutting and trimming service, we will cut one inch off all four sides.
-

Yes, you will be able to. The Eco Plush 1/4" rug pad can be easily trimmed with a pair of good scissors.

-
I just purchased a braided oval rug and want to order a pad. If you cut a pad to your standard size of oval, the corner curves may be different from the degree of curve in the rug, am I right? What do you usually do in the case of an oval?
We do trim the pad to fit the rug. We cut oval all the same way. If you are still concerned, you could purchase a thinner pad that is easy for you to cut at home just in case the curves are different. But in most cases, the oval rug pads we cut are absolutely fine.
-
Is there a charge for your custom cutting service?
No, there is no charge for custom cutting your rug pad. This is a free service we offer with every order. We will cut 1" off each side of the pad so that it's not visible and so your rug can taper over its edges properly.
-
Do you cut rug pads to size for an oval-shaped rug?
Yes, we do. When you are on the product page of the pad you want you can enter your rug's dimensions and select an oval shape from the dropdown menu for rug shapes.
