This pad is both an "over carpet" pad as well as a pad that can be used to protect hard surface floors (such as hardwood).

The "over carpet" feature will help prevent your KidCarpet.com area rug from bunching, wrinkling or creeping when it is placed over another carpet.

Your pad will ship separately and will probably arrive before the rug.

All pads are easily cut to any size with a pair of scissors.
