The Best Furniture Sliders for Smooth Moves and Protected Floors
Having hardwood or marble floors is a beautiful addition to any home, but they come with some added responsibility. You’ve got to put in extra work to avoid stains and use furniture sliders to keep heavy pieces of furniture from leaving scuffs, scratches and skid marks. Coffee tables, side tables with storage and especially heavy pieces like sectionals have hard, pointy feet that can leave behind a mark with even the slightest movement. Adding in small, sticky furniture sliders not only protects your floors, but makes it easier to move furniture around when you’re cleaning, rearranging or moving.
They make furniture sliders in a variety of sizes and shapes, and out of a bunch of different materials so you can choose what works best for you. Some are simply felt stickers that introduce some cushion in between your furniture and the ground, while other are grippy rubber that firmly plants your furniture in place. We’ve gathered the 10 best furniture sliders below to make your purchase a little easier.
1. X-Protector Premium Furniture Pads
MOST VERSATILE
Available in two different shades, so you can choose what best suits your furniture, the X-Protector is designed to be applied directly to a chair leg with its adhesive side. After that, it works to keep your floors scuff-free and your furniture in place using felt on the other side. This set comes with 133 pieces, making it perfect for larger furniture collections or entire household moves. The pieces come in different shapes including circles, larger squares and strips, so no matter what piece you’re trying to protect you’ll have a slider that works.
