The Eco-Friendly Terra Pad Collection

Unlike mass-market rubber pads that can off-gas or damage floor finishes, Christopher’s Terra Pad Collection is curated specifically for fine homes and offices. All pads are 100% made from recycled materials in the USA. And with our installation services, every pad is custom-cut to your rug’s dimensions for a flawless, edge-to-edge fit.

The Christopher’s Difference: Providing a Safer & Healthier Foundation

At Christopher’s, we understand that a rug pad is more than just a cushion—it is a protective barrier for your two most significant home investments: your fine textiles and your flooring, especially hardwoods. Most mass-market pads use synthetic glues and low-grade rubbers that can cause permanent damage to your floors.

The Terra Collection—comprising Ultra-Lite, Lite, Value, and Supreme options—provides many benefits over the alternative rug pads:

A Healthier Home Environment

The Terra Advantage: The entire collection is Green Label Plus Certified as low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) emissions. Additionally, our materials naturally inhibit the growth of mold, mildew, and odor-causing bacteria.

Eco-Friendly Sustainable Luxury

The Terra Advantage: Every Terra pad is made from 100% recycled materials. Crafted with a commitment to both the planet and refined interiors, Terra blends responsible sourcing with the superior cushioning and luxury.

Superior Grip & Stability

The Terra Advantage: A sliding rug is a safety hazard and causes "friction wear" on the rug's underside. With the Terra Collection pads underneath, your rugs stay precisely where they are placed, with no bunching or shifting.

Will Not Stain Your Floors

The Terra Advantage: Our pads are 100% Rubber and Latex-free. They are guaranteed not to stain, discolor, or mar even the most delicate hardwood, marble, or stone finishes. This also makes them the ideal choice for family members with latex allergies or sensitivities.

Advanced Spill Protection

The Terra Advantage: We utilize Closed Cell Technology, creating a moisture-resistant barrier, preventing most spills and pet accidents from soaking through to protect the floor below.
