The rug pads are two sided. One side is for use on hard floors and you can flip it over to use on carpet. A slipping sliding mat or rug is as much a tripping hazard as it is a nuisance. Door mats with an inbuilt anti slip backing are definitely something to consider if non movement is your main priority.

Carpet will always move in one direction when compressed so when a floor area rug or door mat is placed on top and walked on the pile of the carpet moves sideways usually making the rug move with it. If you are placing your mat on a carpet select gripper backing. The taller the pile the more chance of this movement to occur but if the pile is very dense then the sideways movement can be reduced.

How effective a gripper backing is will depend on the length and thickness of the carpet pile.
