The rug pad has many benefits. For starters, it prevents the area rug from slipping by holding it in place.

A rug pad also prevents grime and dirt from accumulating under the rug.
Without a carpet pad, drafts and other cold air can seep through the carpeting, making the room feel colder. A carpet pad helps block these drafts and adds an extra layer of needed insulation. Now when you get out of bed on a cold night, you aren't met with cold feet!

Most rug pads can be cut to the correct size, so buy one that's slightly larger than your rug, so you have room to customize it. You always want a rug pad to be completely hidden under your rug and to be roughly one inch less than your rug's overall size on all four sides, notes Hyman.
