Abstract
A carpet protector to support furniture and reduce damage to a carpet thereunder is provided. The carpet protector in accordance with the present invention generally includes a deformable receiving portion and a rigid base. The receiving portion preferably includes a plurality of ridges on an upper surface thereof to grip a furniture leg placed thereon. The base is configured to receive the lower surface of the receiving portion and includes a plurality of protrusions configured to extend into carpet on which the carpet protector is placed. The protrusions transfer and distribute the weight of the furniture to a base layer of the carpeting. The upper surface of the receiving portion preferably defines a concave surface to reduce slippage of the furniture leg upon the carpet protector.
