    You can use double sided tape to hold in place but then you will have residue on the carpet.

    They make some anti slip material, rubberized, to put underneath. I would go with large pieces.,

      Tape and rubberized one did not work.

      What is really interesting is that I did not have ANY

      problem in my last apartment in the same building-

      W-t-W must be a different material....? or?

  • Have you tried a rug pad?

    That's what I use.

    I tried the open weave rubber type, but it hasn't helped.

    Are you speaking of something else?

    Also tried those twisty upholstery pins around the edges

    but that didn't help either.....

    I went to the site you recommended. Looks like they have a special one for carpet on carpet. However $80 is not in my budget. Maybe I will have to wait & save up for it if I cannot find a more affordable option. Thank you!

    • Yes they are expensive. Just shop around and see what you can find locally. A good carpet or rug shop will have options too, and maybe for less money. The site I provided was for you to comparison shop, (they do have excellent products and have customer service), and there are many other retailers. Now that you know what is available, you can keep an eye out until you can find one in your budget.
