Gorilla Grip extra-strong rug pad (2×6 ft)

BedroomBudget-friendly

Safety level: Fall-safety / weight-bearing equipment. Check fit and installation; consider an OT or physio assessment.

Warning: Non-slip mat, rug pad or stair tread: use only where the maker says (inside the tub, under a rug on hard floors, or on indoor steps). Place it on a clean, dry surface, keep the underside dry, and test with your foot before you rely on it. Replace it if it slips, curls or the backing wears. Rug pads are not for stairs unless the maker says so; stair treads need every step covered and checked. Loose throw rugs without a pad are a common trip and slip hazard.

Who it helps

This may help people who feel unsteady while walking or standing.

Check before buying

The maker says not to use this pad on stairs, carpet, vinyl, painted, acrylic, natural stone, porous or refinished floors. Put it on a clean dry floor, lay the rug flat on top, and trim excess. Re-check that corners stay flat.
Check the weight capacity, dimensions and installation requirements on the manufacturer's page.
Check return policies in case it doesn't suit you.

Limitations

This is safety equipment: a poor fit or installation can make things less safe, not more. An OT or physio can help you choose and set it up.
