Sizing & Fit

Yes. Every UnderItAll pad is cut to order at the dimensions you provide, then perforated in 2-inch increments for final adjustment. There is no stock-size compromise and no in-store cutting table involved.

• How It Works
• Rug pads for rug retailers

Cutting from a roll costs labor, produces scrap you pay to dispose of, and rarely yields a straight edge on felt. A custom-cut pad arrives at the right size with a factory edge, and the 2-inch perforations still allow field adjustment.

• Rug pads for rug retailers

The standard rule is roughly one inch smaller than the rug on each side, so the pad disappears under the rug's edge. Order at your rug's finished dimensions and the pad is cut to that convention automatically.

• Sizing guides

Luxe 1/4 inch is the trade default: it adds cushion, body, and acoustic damping under most rugs. Luxe Lite 1/8 inch is for low-profile situations such as door clearance, transitions, layered rugs, and thin flatweaves.

• Sizing guides

Yes. That is the point of the perforations. If the room or the rug measures differently than expected, pull along a perforation line to remove a 2-inch strip. It takes seconds per side and requires no tools.

• Installation FAQs

Because pads are cut to order, the size is whatever your rug is. Runners, area rugs, oversized room-size rugs, and odd dimensions are all handled the same way: you provide the finished rug measurement.

• Request samples

Yes. Round, oval, and other non-rectangular rugs are cut to shape. Free-form and irregular shapes are handled as a custom request so the pad matches the rug's actual outline rather than approximating it.

• Sizing guides

Yes, and runners are where custom cutting matters most. Hall runners are almost never a stock length, so a cut-to-order pad perforated along the length lets you match the run exactly.

• Installation guides

Measure the rug flat, edge to edge, at its widest and longest points, excluding fringe. Take both measurements in two places, since handmade rugs are rarely perfectly rectangular, and order at the larger figure.

• Sizing guides

No. Measure to the woven edge and exclude fringe. A pad that extends under fringe lifts it off the floor and makes it look propped rather than laid.

• Luxury rug care

Order at the largest measurement in each direction, then use the perforations on site to bring the short side in. This is the exact scenario the 2-inch increments were designed for.

• Installation FAQs

Use Luxe Lite 1/8 inch under the base rug so the stack does not become too tall for door clearance and furniture legs. A second pad between layers is rarely needed and usually adds instability.

• Designer resources

These are area rug pads, cut to a rug's dimensions. For wall-to-wall carpet, use a carpet cushion specified for that installation method. If you are floating a room-size rug near the walls, a cut-to-order pad is correct.

• Rug pads for architects

The pad should extend as far as the rug does, which is what cutting to the rug's dimensions accomplishes. Furniture legs sitting on the rug are then supported by pad, which prevents the divots you get when legs land on unpadded rug.

• Designer resources

Yes. Room-size and palace-size rugs are cut to order. Very large pads may ship in sections designed to butt together under the rug, which is standard practice and invisible once the rug is set.

• Shipping and lead times

Luxe 1/4 inch suits most fine rugs — enough density to spread furniture load and add acoustic damping. Drop to Luxe Lite 1/8 inch where height is constrained: door clearance, floor transitions, layered rugs, thin flatweaves, and radiant heat.

• Luxe vs Luxe Lite

Not quite. The pad should sit about an inch inside the rug on every side, so it disappears under the edge without leaving the perimeter unsupported. Order at the rug's finished dimensions and the pad is cut to that convention.

• Sizing guides

Yes. Round, oval, and other non-rectangular rugs are cut to shape rather than approximated with a rectangle. Free-form and irregular outlines — hide rugs, contemporary shapes, anything cut to a room — are handled as a custom request so the pad follows the rug's actual edge.
