FAQs
How many pads are in a pack?
Each pack contains 8 felt protection pads.
What colour are the felt pads?
The felt pads are brown, designed to be discreet on furniture.
Can these be used on carpet?
These pads are primarily designed for hard floors and are not intended for use on carpet.
How long do the pads typically last?
The lifespan depends on usage, furniture weight, and floor surface. Regular inspection and replacement of worn pads are recommended.
Can I cut the pads to size?
While possible, cutting the pads may compromise the integrity of the felt and the adhesive. It is best to use them as intended or find a size that fits your furniture legs.
Are these suitable for outdoor furniture?
These pads are designed for indoor use. Outdoor conditions may degrade the material and adhesive more rapidly.
Troubleshooting
Felt pad not sticking securely
Ensure the furniture leg surface is completely clean and dry before application. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds to ensure a strong bond. If the surface is uneven, consider alternative methods or a different type of protector.
Furniture still scratching the floor
Verify that the felt pads are correctly applied and cover the entire contact area of the furniture leg. Check for any debris embedded in the felt or if the pad has worn down significantly. Replace worn pads immediately.
Pads detaching after a short period
The adhesive may be compromised due to heavy weight or frequent movement. Ensure the pad is applied to a flat surface. For very heavy items, consider using screw-in glides or reinforcing the adhesive.

Cons

- Can be damaged by sharp objects or excessive friction.
- Pads can accumulate dirt, potentially scratching floors if not cleaned.
- Not suitable for all furniture leg shapes, especially irregular ones.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the bottom of the furniture leg is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris.
- Peel the backing off one felt pad.
- Firmly press the adhesive side of the pad onto the furniture leg, ensuring full contact.
Compatibility:
These pads are best suited for furniture with flat-bottomed legs. They are compatible with a wide range of floor types, including hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, and linoleum. They are generally suitable for chairs, tables, sofas, beds, and other common household furniture.
Care:
Periodically check the felt pads for wear and tear. If the pads become dirty or filled with debris, they may scratch the floor. Clean the pads gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. If excessive wear or damage is observed, remove the old pad and replace it with a new one.
