Question:

Does a rug pad have to have the exact dimensions as the rug?

I'm thinking about buying a 9'2 x 12' 11 rug, but there are no rug pads with these dimensions. The closest pad size would be 8 x 10. Is it okay that the rug pad doesn't fit exactly with the rug or do I need to get a custom rug pad?

Hi, okorder /
A rug pad should always be just a bit smaller than the rug, so you can't see it and so the rug sits on the floor at the edge. If your pad were to big just as big, you'd likely trip on it often.
