10 x 13 Rug Pads
For 10x13 area rugs, we almost always recommend a thick, cushioned rug pad for maximum comfort. We don’t usually stress non slip grip with these large rugs unless you have a thin 10x13 area rug that wrinkles or slips.

How to Choose the Best Area Rug Pad 10 x 13 Edition
Everything you need to know about getting a 10x13 rug pad, all in one place.
With a 10 x 13 area rug, you typically want a thick, cushioned rug pad to help your rug last longer, and add extra cushioning to your living space. This is especially true for rugs in rooms you spend the most time in such as the living room, bedroom, or kitchen.
What you usually don’t need to worry about for a 10x13 rug pad? Non slip grip.
With a larger rug like a 10x13 rug, you usually don’t need a non slip rug pad because they tend to have enough weight to stay put on their own.

Even the cat loves it!
Got the Superior Lock 7/16 to help dampen sound from grand piano sitting atop a 10 x 13 rug. No smell, cut perfectly, rug feels wonderfully cushy, room feels “quieter” with no reverb, even the cat can’t get enough of the comfort and warmth of the new pad. A real win!

Cushy comfort
My rug pad arrived on time (actually a day early) and even at almost 10x13' was easy to unroll and get under my already placed rug. Wasn't sure which side was up on my spill proof pad so I called the 800# and got a quick answer. Now my rug is super cushy and invites you to sit and play with the kids and dog on it. My rug was not an expensive designer collection but this pad really makes it feel like a more expensive rug. Great price, great value and great service.

When You Need a 10x13 Non Slip Rug Pad
Yes, it does happen sometimes.
OK. We know we said that you don’t need to worry about non slip grip for 10x13 rugs, but there is one exception.
If you have a thin or lightweight rug like a flatweave rug you may need a non slip rug pad. And if your rug will be in a high traffic area, we absolutely recommend getting a pad with some non slip qualities.
Why?
Because these 10 x 13 rugs often wrinkle and buckle no matter how much heavy furniture you stack on them. A non slip rug pad with a felt upper like our Superior Lock or Contour Lock rug pads will keep the rug in place on the floor and grip the rug to keep it from wrinkling on the pad. PLUS, these pads have proper padding with the felt, so you don’t have to give up comfort for non slip.
The Superior Lock felt and natural rubber rug pad comes in two thicknesses (1/4" and 7/16”) and has a 15 year warranty. The secret to it’s non slip grip and cushion duo is its reinforced rubber backing paired with soft recycled felt. For a more cushioned pad, get the thicker pad. If you don’t want the rug to go up too high, go with the 1/4" thickness.
The Contour Lock pad has moderate cushioning with non slip grip while keeping a low profile. At a slim 1/8" thickness, the mat combines soft felt padding with a thin rubber backing. The two materials keep your rug anchored to the floor while providing a cushioned space to sit or walk on.

The Best 10x13 Felt Rug Pad for 10x13 Area Rugs
The best part about a felt rug pad is that it’s completely safe for all floor types. The recycled felt doesn’t have any chemicals or adhesives so it won’t stain, discolor, or otherwise damage your floor.
One of the best choices for a thick felt rug pad is our Eco Plush pad. These pads use 100% recycled felt from unused carpet fibers and yarn and come in three different thickness options (1/2", 3/8", and 1/4").
We use a gentle heat pressing technique to meld the felt so the pads last longer, feel softer, and are completely eco-friendly — no glues, bonding agents, or adhesives involved.

“By far the best recycled felt pad I have ever purchased”
This is by far the best recycled felt pad I have ever purchased over many years of having oriental design rugs! I feel it is the softest, safest pad on my newly refinished hardwood floors. I plan on purchasing more for our other large area rugs. Could not tell which side should be up or down as mentioned in another review but we didn't see much difference in either; just unrolled on floor and placed the rug. We have a large and heavy 13' X 10' rug so it takes some time and patience to place the rug on it. I believe area rug lovers are already aware of this, however.

Customer Questions & Answers
-
I would like a pad for a 10 by 13 area rug on a bamboo floor. I want something that won't stain or harm the natural beauty of the bamboo. What do you suggest?
I recommend Superior Lock for your rug and floor. This felt and natural rubber pad is made with more than 1 lb. of natural rubber per square yard. Additionally, the backing is reinforced with another coating to prevent premature flaking and deterioration that is so common with cheap and low-quality products. The Super Lock rug pad will not harm or stain your bamboo floor in any way.
-
Does using a felt rug pad require a curing time for hardwood floors? We will move into our new home only a couple of weeks after the floors are finished. We have a pool table, and I would need to put my 10x13 rug down before they set up the table.
My advice is to wait for the floor to be fully cured. It is better to be safe than sorry. The flooring's manufacturer should be able to tell you how long it takes for your floor to cure.
-
I have a 10' x 13' rug with a 1" pile that will sit on a simulated hardwood laminate floor. How thick should a Superior Lock pad be for this rug and floor or would you recommend a different pad?
I would go with either the 1/4" or the 1/3" thickness.
-
I am looking for a rug pad to help block noise from the downstairs neighbors. I have yet to purchase the rug but it will probably be 10' x 13' or 11' x 11' and will be on a hardwood floor. What pad do you recommend?
The Superior Lock 7/16" is the best pad for you. Its dense layer of insulation does a great job of absorbing sounds, thereby reducing noises coming into homes from neighbors.
-
I don't understand the statement on your site: "All rug pads will be cut approximately 1-1.5" on all sides." Can you please clarify exactly what size pad you recommend for my 10'x13' area rug?
What you need to do is enter your rug's exact dimensions and we'll cut that pad so that it's a perfect fit. This is a free service we offer, and we'll take about 1" off all four sides of the pad.
-
Will you cut the pad we choose so that it fits my 10x13 rug or will we need to cut it?
You don't have to cut the rug pad yourself because we will do it for free with our custom cutting service. Just enter your rug's dimensions and we'll make sure the pad is a perfect fit.
-
Which of your pads is softer and better for a tile floor?
The 7/16" thick Cloud Comfort is our softest rug pad and is for rugs that do not require protection against slipping. If you need something with a strong grip then go for our second softest pad which is the 7/16" thick Superior Lock.
-
We have 10' x 13', 6' x 8', and 4' x 6' rugs on new hardwood floors. We would like a non-slip pad that will not harm the finish or the wood. What are your recommendations?
I recommend our Contour Lock or Superior Lock felt and natural rubber pads. Both have excellent non-slip traction that will keep your rugs stable, plus they will provide you with some comfortable underfoot cushioning. These pads are completely safe for your hardwood and will not stain or damage it. Contour Lock is 1/8" thick while Superior Lock comes in three different thicknesses.
-
What rug pad would you recommend for a 10' by 13' carpet piece that will be used as an area rug on our living room wood floor?
I would suggest our Contour Lock or Superior Lock felt and natural rubber pads if you are looking for something with a powerful grip. If not, I suggest the luxurious cushioning of the Eco Plush all felt pad if you are confident your rug won't move.
-
I am looking for a pad for a 10x13 area rug that will be under two couches and a coffee table. Therefore, preventing slippage isn't the most important requirement. I'm really after something that will act as a sound barrier. What do you suggest?
I recommend the Superior Lock 7/16" thickness. This felt and rubber pad has excellent soundproofing that will eliminate internal noises as well as improve the acoustics of your home. When you place your order tell us the exact dimensions of your rug and we will cut the pad to fit with our free custom cutting service.
-
I’m looking at Eco Plush and Superior Lock for my 10' x 13' rug. It will be on laminate with two recliners on it. My rug is quite thick so I may not need the extra thickness of the 1/2" Eco Plush. However, will I need Superior Lock’s non-slip attribute?
With the size of your rug, you can go with Eco Plush. The rug is pretty big and has furniture on it so I doubt it will slide. If you are concerned that a 1/2" thick pad is too thick, we do have a 1/4" version of this all felt rug pad.
-
I have a 10 feet by 13 feet short shag rug with a pile that is less than 1". It is to go on a tile floor. I am interested in the Superior Lock rug pad and see many great reviews. Do you think the 7/16" thickness will be a good fit for my rug?
Yes, I think that is a great selection. The pile of your rug plus the 7/16" thickness will give you a good level of comfort and stability.
-
What do you recommend for a 10x13 Dhurrie rug that sits on a hardwood floor under a dining table?
I recommend our Eco Plush pads 1/4 thickness, which is easily enough cushion to protect your floor.
-
I need a pad for a 10' x 13' rug on a Pergo laminate floor but I don't want one that will stick to the floor. There will be chair legs on the rug's perimeter. What do you suggest? Also, what about PVC pads?
Since your rug is pretty large and you don't need grip, I'm going to suggest Eco Plush. This is a 100% all felt pad, and it is the safest one to put down on your floor. It contains no rubber which is why I'm suggesting it. With regards to PVC padding, we do carry a PVC pad. It's called Anchor Grip and is made from soybean oil and bio-based fillers. This pad is thinner and only comes in 1/8" thickness.
-
Which is the safest rug pad for a 10' x 13' rug on newly installed oak floors? This is solid oak, not pre-engineered wood, so I can't have any staining or sticking.
Eco Plush is the safest pad to put down on your floor. It is a 100% all felt pad that will not stain, mark or damage the solid oak.
