If rug pads are made of jute, do jute rugs need a pad?

I am shopping for a jute rug, and had begun researching pads. I see that latex-sprayed rubber pads can damage hardwood, and that 40 oz jute pads are considered better. My question is, if the rug I am buying is actually made of jute, does it need a pad at all? Some say “pad recommended,” but all the expert sites about pads just say to buy a jute one, which would be the same as the carpet, no?

You shouldn t use a pad in the padding you use for carpet. But you should use a special matt thats very thin. These mats are made to use over hardwood. They allow the wood to breathe and not let the jute scratch the wood. They also help keep a rug in place and not “walk” all over when stepped on.. They come 3 ways, for hard wood , for over carpet and over hard surfaces. If you get the wrong type they can very well discolor hard wood.
