Veken Non Slip Rug Pad Gripper Reviews Summary

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "I ordered two, one for a 5x7 and 8x10 they fit perfect under the rugs I didn’t have to trim them at all."
• "If for some reason it doesn’t fit the exact measurements of your rug, you can always trim it."
• "I ordered this non-sip mat, cut it to the size of my rug and the rug hasn’t moved an inch since."
• "The sizes match perfectly for what we needed."
• "I liked being able to order this anticipating mat in a specific size. No trimming!"
• "This pad works great in holding down an area rug on a hard wood floor."
• "I ordered the same size as my rug and it stays hidden and keeps the rug in place."

Cons:

• "One star off because it looks like it was cut by hand, leaving jagged edges on one end that had to be trimmed straight."
• "The pads are not perfectly square."
• "This product was not the correct size. It was also cut at a complete angle so it stuck out of one side and didn't even cover the other side."
• "This is the wrong size.. double checked that I ordered the correct size and I did. This measures far bigger than the rug I have and sticks out on all sides."
• "Dimensions are inaccurate - had to cut 3 inches off 2 edges to make it fit under my 4x6 rug."
• "Very thin mesh like rubber that holds in place but is slightly bigger than my rug which is supposed to be same size."
• "These come at kind of odd cuts... They cut very easily and no one wants the rug pad sticking out of their rug so a few inches short on one side doesn’t mean anything to me."

Quality and Material

Pros:

• "The quality and gripping ability is top notch."
• "Pad holds the rug in place great!"
• "This is a great product, I would highly recommend this product to anyone."
• "This pad stays in place and cushions your steps."
• "This is a really good pad. It works really well."
• "Holds our carpet solid!"
• "The quality is great."

Cons:

• "Cheap quality. Not thick enough to gives you the soft feeling when you walk on your carpet."
• "Nice thickness. Happy with this. I've bought some before that turned out to be really thin."
• "These are thicker than your typical bubble pad of this type but I don’t feel any noticeable difference in rug comfort or padding."
• "It's not what I consider 'thick' by any means, but I already figured that."
• "I was looking for a very thick pad, but this is pretty light weight and thin."
• "There is no way this is extra thick, it’s as thin as can be."
• "These pads are quite poor. Our carpet slides on them. I believe they are just too cheap and thin."

Odor

Pros:

• "According to the instructions, '...it is normal to sense a slight smell when the pad is new'."

• "It was neatly packaged and did not have a terrible smell like they sometimes do."
• "There was NO odor alluded to by other reviews."
• "Once the smell was gone from the pad we brought it back inside and it does the job decently."

Cons:

• "This one STINKS. 5x7 stank up my entire house in like 15 minutes."
• "It was a little smelly like it. Kind of smelled factory chemically."
• "Out of the package has that strange smell, sticky so gently pull apart."
• "The product had a very strong plastic chemical odor that lasted for hours."
• "When we first opened the product it smelled so bad, it was a very strong chemical stench."
• "the item smells terrible. It smells like ammonia."
• "Unfortunately it had a weird smell when it came. Like a plastic smell but pretty strong."

Functionality and Use

Pros:

• "Ordered this for a rug that was super slick when you walked on it, it worked wonders. No more slipping and will definitely not be having accidents or falls anymore."
• "Walking on the carpets became much more secure. No slipping."
• "I'm satisfied with this non slip rug pads... they held the rugs on place."
• "It prevents our rug from slipping."
• "It definitely keeps the rug from sliding. Makes me feel safe when stepping on it."
• "No more slippy, slide on the rug."
• "This one holds the rug fast even under all the heavy foot traffic it sees."

Cons:

• "Correct fit but will not stay under carpet as it comes out as carpet walked on…Was contacted by sell and was to be given a refund but it has never been received."
• "Good material but carpet often slides out slightly. I seen this problem with other pads too, so cannot put any specific blame on this one."
• "It stays bunched up under the runner.. it’s actually not safe as it makes the runner very slippery!"
• "Attempted to use in a carpeted room to hold an area rug and it did not hold the area rug in place whatsoever."
• "It does not hold the carpet in place. The carpet moves off the liner, but liner itself does stay in place on the floor, but carpet does not."
• "Still have some sliding issues with this on carpet."
• "We have this under our jute rug and it comes up and bunches regularly, and we have to straighten it once a week."
