Felt rug backing is glued to the rug. Felt backings do allow for good air flow.  They help with soundproofing, offer a thicker cushion to prolong the life of the rug and are safe for all types of floors and finishes.  Carpet with felt backing can be laid directly to the floor or subsurface.  This backing does not provide grip to the floor.  If the rug is in an area where it can shift a rug pad is recommended.
