Welcome to Super Sliders® Felt Pads – your one-stop shop for high-quality furniture sliders and felt pads to protect your floors. Our story begins over 15 years ago, when our founder John Smith discovered a need for effective, customizable floor protection solutions.
Our Origins
John was no stranger to the frustrations of moving furniture and accidentally scuffing up floors. After damaging his own hardwood floors one too many times, he knew there had to be a better solution. He began tinkering with different materials and adhesives in his garage to create durable pads that would smoothly glide furniture across any surface.
After months of testing and iterations, the original Super Sliders® were born. Made of premium felt with a specially engineered adhesive, these circular pads transformed the way people moved furnishings around their homes. No longer did they have to lift heavy objects or awkwardly shuffle them around. The pads enabled furniture to effortlessly slide across floors without a single scratch or slip.
Excited by his creation, John shared Super Sliders® with family and friends, who were just as enthralled. They told their own relatives and neighbors, sparking interest across the community. Soon John was fulfilling orders for hundreds of customers looking for an end to their floor protection woes.
By the early 2000s, Super Sliders® officially transitioned from a homegrown operation to an established business. John teamed up with his wife Jane to rent a small warehouse, purchase industrial equipment, and create a simple website to sell their sliders to the public.
Growth & Evolution
As demand grew, so did the Super Sliders® product line. Rectangular pads, oval pads, mini sliders, and corner protectors were added to the original round sliders. Adhesive strength and felt durability were enhanced based on customer feedback. Printed logo sliders were created for businesses to brand moving and storage jobs.
Behind the scenes, John and Jane worked tirelessly to scale while maintaining exceptional quality. They carefully vetted suppliers, optimizing sourcing and materials. The warehouse expanded to stockpile inventory. An automated ordering system was implemented for 24/7 customer convenience.
Today, the Super Sliders® brand offers over a dozen floor protection products in variable shapes, sizes, and materials. Felt, microfiber, cork, and scratch prevent pads are designed to suit any application, from home use to commercial moving. The Super Sliders® website features videos, troubleshooting guides, and expert tips to empower customers. A full-time customer service team promptly assists with any questions or concerns.
Despite the company’s growth, the founding commitment to quality and service remains unchanged. All products are rigorously tested for durability. Orders are promptly shipped from U.S. warehouses to maintain availability. Customer feedback directly informs product development and improvements.

The Super Sliders® Difference
With countless slider and pad brands on the market, what sets Super Sliders® apart?
Superior Materials
We use only the highest quality felt, microfiber, cork, and adhesives in our products. Our premium wool felt provides unbeatable thickness for smooth gliding and noise reduction. Our adhesives evenly coat materials for durable grip without leaving a sticky residue.
Innovative Engineering
Our in-house engineering team creates specialized materials and adhesive patterns for optimal effectiveness. The unique grippy hexagon bottom of our Ultimate Grippers, for example, prevents pads from shifting out of place.
Rigorous Testing
From weight capacity to slide distance, each product undergoes rigorous lab testing. We flex test adhesive bonds, evaluate friction levels, and quality check every order before shipment. You can trust our products live up to their claims.
Customer-Driven Evolution
Our customers inspire our best product innovations. We continually update existing lines and develop new solutions based on consumer needs and feedback. Our stain-proof ClearGliders resulted from customers seeking protection for delicate surfaces.
American-Made Quality
We proudly manufacture all Super Sliders® products at our company-owned facilities in the United States. This enables greater quality control and prompt order fulfillment compared to outsourced production.
Super Sliders® Product Lines
With a range of products, Super Sliders® has your floor protection needs covered.
Felt Furniture Pads
Our core line of premium wool felt furniture pads comes in round, oval, rectangular, and triangular shapes in variable sizes. They can be used on furniture legs, appliances, electronics, gym equipment, antiques, and more. Our incredibly strong adhesive prevents sliding or attachment failures. Choose from light or heavy duty grip strength for hardwood, tile, laminate, and carpeted surfaces.
Microfiber Sliders
For delicate hardwoods and tile susceptible to scratching, our microfiber sliders provide ultra-smooth gliding with gentle surface contact. They prevent scuffs, gouges, and surface debris buildup under furniture. We offer 220GSM microfiber pads in a full range of shapes and sizes. An impregnated polymer backing reinforces the microfiber层top.
Ultimate Grippers
When heavy-duty holding power is needed, Ultimate Grippers are the solution. These maximum strength felt sliders support over 300 pounds per pad and won’t budge under immense pressure. The proprietary hexagon adhesive pattern grips surfaces with incredible tenacity, making them perfect for pool tables, safes, appliances, machinery, and more.
ClearGliders
Our innovative ClearGliders combine the best features of microfiber and felt for slick sliding with worry-free surface protection. A transparent polymer pad bottom directly contacts floors while a scratch-proof microfiber top enables smooth movement. No residue remains after repositioning, ideal for sensitive surfaces like marble, granite, and hardwoods.
Cork Pads
Looking for an eco-friendly floor protection option? Our cork pads provide exceptional density and slide ease without vinyl or chemical adhesives. Made from 100% renewable harvested cork, these pads are naturally grippy and shock-absorbent. Choose from yoga block style square pads or traditional circular disks.
Corner Guards
Protect vulnerable corners from nicks and collision damage. Our corner guards are made of satiny smooth microfiber, soft felt, and flexible rubber options. Self-adhesive backing makes application fast and easy on tables, counters, desks, walls, and more. We offer clear transparent corner guards perfect for discreet protection.
Commercial Line
Businesses like moving companies rely on heavy-duty commercial sliders designed for intense daily use. Our commercial line features bulk slider packs in a variety of shapes, durometers, and adhesives. Branded printed sliders are available for companies to promote their brand while protecting customer belongings and floors.
Floor Protection Solutions
Unsure what products are optimal for your specific furniture and flooring? Here are a few recommendation guides:
Hardwood Floors
Sliding furniture on unfinished hardwood risks scratching and denting the porous surface. We recommend felt pads to gently glide over the wood. For antique or delicate floors, microfiber pads provide the smoothest zero-friction contact. ClearGliders are an excellent hybrid option, combining the benefits of both materials.
Tile Floors
The hard, slick surface of tile floors causes standard pads to easily slip. Heavy duty grippers with amplified adhesive power are ideal to keep furnishings firmly in place. For smooth sliding, microfiber and **ClearGliders **also perform well without scratching the tile surface.
Carpeted Floors
Thick carpeting can pose issues for regular slider pads sinking down into the plush fibers. Look for pads with a stiff polymer base like our CarpetGlide line to distribute weight evenly across carpeting. The super grip bottom prevents dragging or wrinkling the carpet surface.
Hardwood Furniture
For furnishings with sensitive finishes like raw wood tables, transparent ClearGliders avoid altering the furniture’s appearance while still allowing movement. Cork pads are another natural furnishing-safe option. Any pad material can potentially scratch some furniture finishes, so test first.
Heavy Furniture
Moving heavy objects like loaded bookshelves, appliances, safes, and pianos calls for the strongest slider pads to prevent floor damage. Our Ultimate Grippers support over 300 pounds per pad and adhere like glue. The Hercules line of commercial pads is crafted for extreme weight capacities.
Antique and Vintage Pieces
Protect delicate finishes like French polish or flaking veneers with smooth gliding microfiber pads. Avoid plastic, rubber feet, and harsh adhesives that could further deteriorate antique furnishings. Test pH-neutral cork pads as another gentle option.
The Future of Floor Protection
As we celebrate over 15 years in business, the Super Sliders® team looks forward to innovating even better products in the years ahead.
We will continue enhancing our pad materials and adhesive technologies based on customer feedback. Improving sustainability through recycled materials and responsible manufacturing remains a priority. Our product line will expand with new sizes, shapes, and materials to solve ever-evolving customer flooring dilemmas.
While our products progress, our sincere commitment to quality, service, and education endures. We promise to maintain the integrity, American-made craftsmanship, and family feel that defined Super Sliders® from the very beginning.
John Smith started Super Sliders® in his garage seeing a need for better floor protection. That humble beginning evolved into a trusted brand with customers worldwide. But our mission remains the same: to provide exceptional sliding furniture pads and protect beautiful floors.
We can’t wait to see what the next 15 years has in store!
