How To Know It's An American Rug Pad

There are so many rug pads and rug pad suppliers online and in stores and it gets difficult to know which rug pads are American made and which are not. Unfortunately, too many stores represent their pads to be made in the USA when it is not true.

There are a few good ways to determine if a rug pad is made in the USA, or American Made. The obvious way of simply reading its description or of asking the store is not always the accurate way - Unfortunately, many stores tell customers what they want to hear and since most people like to use American Made rug pads, that's what they hear! The truth is that about 70% of the rug pads offered today are actually imported.

Learn About The Store

I always tell people that the Internet is your best friend when it comes to learning more about a store or seller. There are a few reputable agencies that validate the origin of various products, so it is a great idea to utilize this resource. In regards to Rug Pad Corner, we belong to the U.S. Building Council and we also supply a NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) to our shipper, UPS, for shipments to Canada - This agreement states that since we sell only American Made products, the shipments to Canada are not affected by customs or duties taxes.
As you search online and perhaps ask around about a particular store, you will eventually learn enough to determine if that store's products are made in the USA. Certain agencies require hard proof of manufacture to validate a company and it's claim to offer American Made products, so feel free to use these resources to your benefit.

Ask Us, The Rug Pad Corner Family

We are no strangers to the industry - As a matter of fact, Rug Pad Corner is the oldest and largest rug pad only supplier on the Internet. I remember when we started, there were only furniture stores that offered rug pads as a compliment to their other products. Since we have been around so long, we know just about all there is to know about every rug pad and every supplier - So, we are not shy to share this information with anyone. Feel free to ask us about a particular rug pad name or a specific seller and chances are we'll know about it or them.

I can truly state that there are only a handful of online sellers that offer pure American Made rug pads and nothing else. The list, plus or minus, includes Rug Pad Corner, Best Rug Pads, Rug Pads for Less, USA Rug Pads, Durahold Rug Pads and Only Rug Pads. There seem to be others that call themselves something with the word "USA" in their name, yet it is not always wise to trust a name.

American Made rug pads are in demand and perhaps the best to use for a few reasons. First, since the manufacturing is in the country, it can be controlled to certain quality standards. Next, there's always a feeling of helping our economy when we buy "American". These are just a few reasons to choose a rug pad, or any product, made in the USA and we can have greater peace-of-mind doing so.
