There are three types of waffle looking runner rugs available.The first is a thin non slip pad that is an organic polymer and very safe for floors and are durable. The other type is an actual solid rubber pad, which is not a sprayed latex rubber but an actual solid layer of rubber. This also is safe and long lasting. Lastly is a one of nylon or plastic. For non slip function it has a spray on it, which eventually wears off and will mark the floor. These types of runner rugs can flatten over a period of time.These days an excellent rug is being used and made of recycled jute and solid rubber.
