I just put 1,500 sq ft of wood down so I am in the process of buying some area rugs. I don't know the first thing about rug pads for area rugs... does anyone have suggestions? A good inexpensive source? Also... can I get the gripper pad (less money) for say my bedroom in which a lot of the rug is either under the bed or in front of the bed where it is very low traffic area? I would assume I should spend the money for a good pad for the family room rug where it will get a lot of use due to kids? Suggestions or tips?
