Expert Reviews
What reviewers liked
The traditional style rug ripper has an open grid mesh-like construction that creates a thin barrier between the rug and the floor that will hold the rug in place and protect the floor without adding height that can make the rug a trip hazard. Made in the USA, the Gorilla Grip rug gripper comes in a variety of sizes, but users can also easily cut the item with scissors. The versatile grippers can also be used in drawers, on shelves and when opening tight jars.
This thin, webbing-like rug pad is an interesting design that works better than we expected based on its looks. The Gorilla Grip Original has thick intersections of material that compress with every step, helping to increase the surface area holding your rug in place.
This rug pad for hardwood floors has the unique feature of being dual sided so it holds firmly to your rug as well as your hardwood floor to prevent your rug from slipping and sliding. Non-adhesive and slip-resistant which doesn’t allow your rug to bunch or fold over. It’s not visible under the rug, and because it’s so soft and dense, your rug feels cushioned when you step on it.
This pad is easy to use, even easier to clean (it's washable), and reviewers report that these pads keep pets from slipping on rugs, too. Needless to say, if it can pass the puppy test, it's as good as gold — and the fact that it has an impressive following is the cherry on top.
What reviewers didn't like
Had very loose “weaves,” with a lot of space between the rubber portions of the mesh. They provided significantly less grip than our mesh pick.
Only appropriate for hardwood floors.
You can feel the texture of this oddly-shaped pad under some thin rugs, like a rag rug. It's not terrible, but compared to all the other, smoother options we tested, it is noticeable. Its minimal design offers little in the way of floor protection, rug protection, added cushion, or sound dampening. It also comes with a long list of flooring types it absolutely can't be used on without pulling off stain, sticking to the floor, or leaving waffle-shaped debris.
Not suitable for acrylic, vinyl, natural stone, lacquered, porous, stairs or refinished surfaces.
