In most cases, yes.
Using a rug underlay is a simple yet essential step to protect your flooring, enhance comfort, and maintain the appearance of your rug.
At King Living, our rugs are crafted with premium materials and designed for both style and comfort. However, we still recommend pairing them with a quality rug underlay for several key reasons:
Why Use a Rug Underlay?
1. Enhanced Comfort
An underlay adds an extra layer of cushioning, making your rug feel softer and more luxurious underfoot.
2. Non-Slip Safety
Rug underlays provide grip, helping prevent your rug from sliding or bunching. This keeps your rug securely in place and reduces the risk of slips or falls.
3. Floor Protection
A rug underlay acts as a protective barrier between the rug and your floor, helping to prevent scratches, scuffs, and stains—especially on hardwood, laminate, or delicate surfaces.
4. Noise Reduction
Underlays absorb impact and reduce sound transmission, creating a quieter and more peaceful living environment.
5. Improved Insulation
By adding an extra layer between your rug and the floor, an underlay can help insulate the room, contributing to a more stable indoor temperature and potentially lowering energy costs.
6. Extended Rug Life
Using a rug underlay helps distribute pressure evenly across your rug, reducing wear in high-traffic areas and prolonging its overall durability.
7. Easier Maintenance
A rug that stays flat is easier to clean. An underlay keeps the rug stable during vacuuming and helps maintain its shape.
Invest in Longevity and Comfort
Whether you’re placing a rug in your living room, bedroom, or hallway, a rug underlay is a smart investment that enhances the performance and longevity of your King Living rug.
