AI pick (line): X-Protector Felt Furniture Pads

X-Protector's felt pad assortments are thick and dense and come in many cut sizes, so one pack covers most chairs and tables on hardwood.

Not for: People with chairs that drag constantly on hardwood, where stick-on felt shears off and nail-in or wrap-around glides last longer.

Shepherd Hardware (brand)

Shepherd's nail-on and screw-on felt glides stay put under repeated dragging, where adhesive pads tend to peel.

Not for: Owners of metal-legged or veneered pieces you don't want to drive a nail into.

Attachment method: Use adhesive pads for furniture that rarely moves, and nail-on, screw-on or slip-on glides for chairs that get dragged Shear from sliding is what peels adhesive pads off.
Felt density and thickness: Choose dense, firm felt over soft fluffy felt Soft felt compresses fast and traps grit, and trapped grit scratches the floor.
Size to leg: The pad should cover the leg's full footprint without overhanging much, so cut or choose the shape to match square or round legs Exposed leg edges still scratch, and large overhangs catch and peel.
Surface prep: Clean and dry the leg base before applying adhesive pads Dust and old wax are the main reason pads fall off.

X-Protector: Popular felt pad assortments with many sizes in one pack.
Shepherd Hardware: Wide range of adhesive, nail-on and screw-on felt glides.
Scotch (3M): Widely available felt pads and bumpers.

Thin, soft adhesive felt on dining chairs.
Pads left in place after they collect grit, because they then act like sandpaper.
Adhesive pads on tile or stone where furniture drags often.

Usually because the chair is dragged often or the leg wasn't cleaned first, so switch to nail-on or slip-on glides for high-traffic chairs.
