Your Guide to Finding the Perfect 6x9 Rug Pad
Have a 6 x 9 Rug? You’ll want to read this.
6 x 9 area rugs often need a mix of cushioning and non slip grip.
Why?
Because they aren’t quite large rugs like 9x12 area rugs that stay put on their own, but they also aren’t your small 3x5 throw rugs where extra cushion may not matter.
That’s why finding the perfect 6x9 area rug pad can be a little tricky. Lucky for you, we’re all about 6 by 9 area rugs and know how to find the best rug pad for the occasion.
Here’s the scoop: in general, the perfect 6 x 9 rug pad will have a mix of cushion and grip. That means your best option will likely be a rug pad that combines the soft cushioning of felt with the strong grip of natural rubber.
You’ve got a few different options in the felt and natural rubber range though, so your decision tree isn’t quite over yet — the best one for your 6x9 area rugs will depend on the weight and thickness of the rug.

GRAB THE SUPERIOR LOCK RUG PAD FOR YOURSELF
The Best Rug Padding for Thin 6x9 Rugs in a High Traffic Area
For thin, light-weight 6x9 rugs like flatweaves or cotton rugs, you need a strong-gripping pad to keep that lovely rug in place. These types of rugs tend to move around more easily because they don’t have that density or heaviness that thicker, larger rugs had.
Especially if your 9x6 rug is in a high traffic area like a living room, kitchen, or entryway, you’ve probably dealt with that light-weight rug moving all over the place. Well, you shouldn’t have to put up with that.
Reduce the rug movement with our super grippy, low profile RugPro rug pad. The 1/16”-thick carpet pad keeps your rug flush with the floor — no bulky under pad that can get in the way of doors or cause tripping hazards. Plus, this pad’s solid design mixing felt and natural rubber offers more floor coverage than waffle-style pads so you get even more floor protection and it keeps dirt from building up under the rug.
It’s basically the MVP when it comes to non slip grip with thin rugs. Just keep in mind — the thinness of this pad means it doesn’t add a huge amount of extra cushioning to your rug.

Perfect fit, good grip
I have a jute rug on hardwood floors that was very slippery. This pad keeps it in place and seems to protect the floors from the jute (which I learned can scratch and mark up hardwood over time). Custom cut size was a perfect fit. Shipping was pretty quick, pad arrived folded and rolled, but flattened nicely with a rug on top of it. Would buy again.

The Best 6x9 Carpet Pad for More Cushioning with 6 by 9 Area Rugs
If you’d like a bit of cushion under your 6x9 rugs (let’s be honest — who doesn’t want a more cushioned rug?!) but still need to keep a relatively low profile, check out the Contour Lock.
This 1/8 inch-thick felt and rubber pad offers great rug gripper and medium levels of cushioning without the bulk. That means you get a nice comfy area rug pad without the potential tripping hazard. We highly recommend this option for thicker rugs including sisal or jute rugs.
Rugs (especially thick ones like sisal or jute) often have rough backings that can scratch up your hard floors over time. With this pad’s slightly thicker and solid design, it fully protects floors from scratches.

Want Even More Plush 6 x 9 Area Rugs?
Do we have the perfect thick rug pad for you!
Our most cushioned non slip rug pad, the Superior Lock is a fantastic choice for a plush, luxurious non slip rug. Made with more felt and a gentle heat-pressing technique to combine the felt with reinforced natural rubber, Superior Lock offers excellent non-slip traction with thick, cushioned support.
The needle-punched felt surface naturally clings to the bottom of rugs to anchor the rug in place. At the same time, the padding gives you extra softness and comfort. We’ve got this pad in two different thicknesses (1/4-inch and 7/16-inch) so you can choose how much cushion you want.

Putting a 6 x 9 Rug on Wall to Wall Carpet?
We have a pad for that too.
If you’re putting a rug on carpet, we think that’s a great idea! Oh the color! The character! BUT WAIT! Is that a wrinkle in your beautiful rug on carpet? That’ll ruin the aesthetic faster than you can say rug pad.
To keep your rug flat on carpet, you need to check out our Carpet Lock rug pad. We’ve specially designed this pad to keep rugs lying flat, wrinkle free, and in the right place on your wall to wall carpeting.
The felt backing fastens to your carpet fibers to keep it in place (without damaging the carpet) while the top natural rubber surface keeps your rug on the pad. The pad is around 7/16” thick, so you’re in for some serious comfort too.

The Perfect Area Rug Pad for a 6 x 9 Oval Rug
Have a 6 x 9 oval rug that you’re not sure how to size for a rug pad? You’re in good hands.
Measure the longest length on each side, then simply select the “oval” in the “rug shape” section, then put the dimensions in the rug size section.
We’ll provide a cut pad that hides just under the rug so you’ll hardly know the pad is there. (Except for the wonderfully cushioned walking sensation you get from walking on it 😉)

Customer Questions & Answers
-
I am looking for two kinds of pads: one for a runner and one for a 6'x 9' rug on hardwood floors. Both pads should have sound reducing properties.
Our Superior Lock 7/16" thickness is a great pad for sound dampening and is suitable for your runner and your rug. It will help to greatly reduce noises within your home while also keeping neighboring noises out.
-
I need a breathable pad due to Florida’s humidity. I’m interested in the all felt pad because of the cushioning but our cats have accidents and I’m not sure how to get urine out of felt. We also need a custom cut for a 6x9 rug. What do you suggest?
I suggest our Anchor Grip rug pad, which is made from a soybean oil-based polymer blend. This pad is waterproof with a liquid resistant barrier that temporarily prevents spills and pet accidents from reaching floors. In all honesty, urine is a tough liquid to clean, but when you do clean your pad we recommend blotting it. Anchor Grip is a low-profile pad with exceptional non-slip traction and comfortable cushioning. And we can custom cut it to fit your rug.
-
What kind of pad should I use for a 6x9 feet area rug that is 100% polypropylene? It is on a tile floor in a low use area.
The best pad for your needs depends on whether there will be furniture on your rug. If so, you probably won't be too concerned about slipping so I suggest Eco Plush for its lush cushioning. If you haven't put any furniture on the rug, take a look at our Superior Lock. This pad provides both comfort and a strong foundation that will prevent your rug from moving, creeping and bunching
-
Can I put a rug pad under a latex-backed 6' by 9' rug to prevent damage to hardwood floors?
Yes, you can. I would suggest our Contour Lock or Anchor Grip rug pads. Both of these low-profile pads have solid gripping power, and will protect your hardwood from damage.
-
I have just bought a 6' x 9' Bosphorus Faded Tribal Cartouche Medallion Rug that's to go vinyl plank flooring. What pad do you suggest and how thick should it be? I am looking for something with cushioning.
We only sell two types of pad for vinyl flooring and they are Anchor Grip and Eco Plush. Anchor Grip is a non-slip pad which is what you will need for a rug your size otherwise it will slip. Eco Plush comes in three different thicknesses but it is not a non-slip pad. You can also contact your floor manufacturer and ask if natural rubber is okay to use. If so, then I can recommend Superior Lock 7/16". This has a lot of cushion and it is also a non-slip pad.
-
Do I order a 6' x 9' rug pad for a 6' x 9' rug? Or should I go smaller?
Just enter 6' x 9' and we will cut and trim the pad so that it fits your rug.
-
We have a 6' by 9' Karastan wool rug on a hardwood floor that we lay on every night, so we need a pad with the best cushioning possible. What do you suggest?
Cloud Comfort is the softest pad we sell, but my only concern is that it is not a non-slip pad. If you are confident your rug won’t move then this will be the best pad for you. Alternatively, I suggest the non-slip Superior Lock rug pad at 7/16" thickness.
-
I bought a 6 feet x 9 feet oval educational rug. Should I get the 1/4" thick Cloud Comfort foam pad or something thinner?
The 1/4" thickness would be okay for you. However, Cloud Comfort is not a non-slip pad and a rug your size will be more prone to slipping. Maybe a better choice of pad would be 1/4" Superior Lock. This felt and natural rubber pad will provide some cushion and grip.
-
I have a 6x9ft thin cotton rug on a hardwood floor and would like to know what the best pad is for it.
The Contour Lock or Superior Lock 1/4" are perfect for you. Both will keep your rug firmly in place. Choose Superior Lock if you want more cushioning as well.
-
What are the best pads to buy to keep a 6' x 9' rug secure on carpet?
Carpet Lock is the only pad we recommend for rugs on carpet. It is a felt and natural rubber pad with excellent non-slip traction that keeps rugs stable and lying flat.
-
What is better for a 6' x 9' rug on a laminate floor: Eco Plush or Superior Lock?
Superior Lock would be the best choice since this felt and natural rubber pad is non-slip. It will also give you a good level of comfortable cushioning.
-
I am looking for a 6ft x 9ft pad to go under an area rug in my dining room but I don't want a non-skid pad. We have a pedestal table that is too heavy to lift and so if I need to move it I want to be able to slide it on the rug and pad.
Yes, there is. Our 100% all felt pad is ideal for you. It is called Eco Plush, and it has no gripping attribute.
-
Which type of rug pad would be best for a 6 feet by 9 feet Turkish (oriental) runner on the hardwood floor of an entrance hall?
I would recommend a thinner pad for your runner. My first suggestion is RugPro which is the thinnest pad we have. It is also the pad with the strongest grip. My second suggestion is Contour Lock which is 1/8” thick and also benefits from a powerful grip. Both pads are made of felt and natural rubber and are just what you need in high-traffic areas such as entrances and hallways.
-
If my rug has a fringe on the longer side, do I include the fringe in the measurement I send?
No, there is no need to include the fringe when placing an order. Just enter your rug's exact dimensions without the fringe and we will custom cut a perfect fitting rug pad for you.
-
I want to get a thin flat weave rug that is 6' by 9'. The only furniture on it will be a coffee table. I would like a pad to add comfort and to stop the rug from constantly slipping. Is the memory foam pad a good choice?
No, the Cloud Comfort memory foam pad would not be a good choice. While it will give you lots of cushioning it is not a non-slip pad. The best choice for you is the Superior Lock felt and natural rubber pad which has both gripping and cushioning.
