Will this pad keep my rug from sliding?

The natural rubber grips the floor and the open weave grips the rug's back, which reduces sliding and creeping. It works best on hard, smooth floors.

Does it add much height under a door?

It is a low-profile pad, so it adds little height. That makes it a better fit for thin rugs and doorways with tight clearance than a thick felt pad.

It is designed for standard rugs that need grip and support. Very thick or shag rugs usually want a denser, plusher pad instead.

The grid lets air flow under the rug, which helps when you vacuum and reduces trapped moisture. It also keeps the pad from feeling solid and heavy.

Natural rubber pads are usually cut with scissors to match a rug's size. Trim slightly inside the rug's edges so the pad stays hidden.

Natural rubber can have a mild rubber odor when new. Air it out flat for a day or two before laying the rug on top.
