Furniture Slides for Carpet

Stop grinding bare wood and metal into your carpet. Furniture slides for carpet use a hard ABS plastic head that glides over carpet loops without snagging, pulling, or crushing fibers — the opposite of felt pads and rubber caps, which grip soft flooring and make everything harder. Nail-on for solid wood legs. Self-adhesive for metal, plastic, and wood. Round, square, and rectangular — 4 sizes per shape from 23 mm to 50 mm. Tap in with a mallet or peel and press. Your carpet stops paying the price.

Furniture Slides for Carpet

The carpet underneath your furniture is quietly being destroyed. Every drag, every snag, every chair pulled back at the dinner table grinds bare wood and metal into the pile. Professional-grade furniture slides for carpet, rugs, and all soft flooring — nail-on or self-adhesive, in every shape and size your furniture demands.

Choose Your Mounting Method

The right furniture slide for carpet starts with the right fit. Solid wood legs pair with nail-on slides. Metal, plastic, and hollow tube legs pair with self-adhesive. Each mounting method is designed to protect your carpet while providing the strongest possible connection to the leg.

NAIL-ON

Nail-On Furniture Slides

Mechanical fastening via zinc-plated steel tubular rivet with anti-rotation mortise — the professional standard for solid wood furniture legs on carpet. No pre-drilling required on any hardwood, MDF, or softwood species. The rivet separates wood fibers rather than removing material — replaceable in the same location, time and time again, without damaging the leg.

  • Round nail-on — 4 sizes: Ø 23 mm to Ø 50 mm
  • Square nail-on — 4 sizes: 23 × 23 mm to 50 × 50 mm
  • Rectangular nail-on — 33 × 19 mm
  • Anti-rotation mortise on all shapes prevents misalignment
  • For solid wooden furniture legs only

Nail-On Furniture Slides

Designed for solid wooden furniture legs on carpet and soft flooring. The zinc-plated tubular rivet drives in with a rubber mallet — no drilling, no prep — and holds without loosening over years of daily use. Square and rectangular variants include an anti-rotation mortise that prevents the slide from spinning on the rivet and exposing unprotected corners or edges. Nail-on carpet furniture slides are the professional standard for wooden legs in residential and commercial settings.

Nail-On — Carpet (ABS Sliding Surface)

The ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) head is harder than carpet fibers — it glides over them rather than gripping into them. High abrasion and strain resistance allow the slide to move across carpet pile with minimal friction, protecting both the carpet and the furniture. Temperature range: −20°C to +80°C. The Ø 50 mm round and 50 × 50 mm square sizes include an integrated EHBF acrylic foam layer for vibration dampening and cushioned movement under heavy loads.

Round Nail-On Slides — Carpet

For round and turned wooden furniture legs on carpet. Fits Ø 23 mm through Ø 50 mm legs. The Ø 50 mm size includes EHBF foam for heavy furniture.

Ø 23 mm
Fits legs Ø 23–27 mm — Side chairs, lightweight seats
Ø 28 mm
Fits legs Ø 28–37 mm — Dining chairs, desk chairs
Ø 38 mm
Fits legs Ø 38–49 mm — Accent chairs, heavier seating
Ø 50 mm EHBF
Fits legs Ø 50–74 mm — Dining tables, coffee tables

Square Nail-On Slides — Carpet

For square-section wooden furniture legs on carpet. The anti-rotation mortise on the tubular rivet prevents rotation — critical on square slides where any spin exposes an unprotected corner to catch carpet fibers. Full corner-to-corner coverage prevents the four corners from gouging into carpet pile. The 50 × 50 mm size includes EHBF foam for heavy furniture.

23 × 23 mm
Fits 23–27 × 23–27 mm — Lightweight side chairs
28 × 28 mm
Fits 28–37 × 28–37 mm — Dining chairs, bar stools
38 × 38 mm
Fits 38–49 × 38–49 mm — Dining chairs, accent chairs
50 × 50 mm EHBF
Fits 50–74 × 50–74 mm — Heavy chairs, dining tables

Rectangular Nail-On Slides — Carpet

For oblong and rectangular wooden furniture legs on carpet — the hallmark of mid-century modern, Scandinavian, and contemporary furniture design. Anti-rotation mortise prevents the slide from spinning under the asymmetric lateral forces that carpet generates during movement.

33 × 19 mm
Fits 33–40 × 19–25 mm — Mid-century chairs, modern dining

Self-Adhesive Furniture Slides

For metal, plastic, hollow tube, and wooden furniture legs that can’t accept a rivet. The EHBF (Extra High Bond Foam) acrylic foam tape bonds to virtually any clean, smooth surface — chrome, powder-coated steel, anodized aluminum, engineering plastics, and wood. Clean the leg with isopropyl alcohol, peel, press firmly for 10 seconds, and the slide is on. Allow 24 hours for full adhesive cure before heavy use. Self-adhesive furniture slides for carpet are the only option for metal sled frames.

Self-Adhesive — Carpet (ABS Sliding Surface)

Same ABS sliding surface as the nail-on range — hard, smooth, and chemically inert. Ideal for the sleek metal-leg dining chairs, sled base office seating, and contemporary furniture that defines modern residential and hospitality spaces. The EHBF adhesive resists the higher lateral shear forces that carpet generates during furniture movement. Temperature range: −20°C to +80°C.

Round Self-Adhesive Slides — Carpet

For round metal, plastic, and hollow tube furniture legs on carpet. Fits Ø 23 mm through Ø 50 mm legs.

Ø 23 mm
Fits legs Ø 23–27 mm — Lightweight chairs, stools
Ø 28 mm
Fits legs Ø 28–37 mm — Dining chairs, task chairs
Ø 38 mm
Fits legs Ø 38–49 mm — Accent chairs, ottomans
Ø 50 mm
Fits legs Ø 50–74 mm — Tables, sofas, benches

Square Self-Adhesive Slides — Carpet

Full corner-to-corner ABS coverage for square legs of any material. Round slides on square legs leave all four corners unprotected — exposed corners catch and tear carpet fibers with every movement.

23 × 23 mm
Fits 23–27 × 23–27 mm — Lightweight side chairs
28 × 28 mm
Fits 28–37 × 28–37 mm — Dining chairs, bar stools
38 × 38 mm
Fits 38–49 × 38–49 mm — Accent chairs, ottomans
50 × 50 mm
Fits 50–74 × 50–74 mm — Tables, heavy seating

Rectangular Self-Adhesive Slides — Carpet

For oblong legs and sled frame contact points — mid-century modern, Scandinavian, and contemporary furniture design. EHBF bonds to chrome and steel sled frames without tools — the only carpet slide option when a rivet isn’t possible.

33 × 19 mm
Fits 33–40 × 19–25 mm — Sled base chairs, modern dining

On Hard Floors Instead?

Furniture slides use a hard ABS surface designed for carpet and soft flooring. If your furniture is on hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, or stone, you need the opposite — a soft PA6 surface that absorbs micro-texture and moves silently without scratching. Same platform, same shapes and sizes, different surface for a different floor.

Self-Adhesive Pads

Same PA6 surface in the widest possible size range — 33 round sizes, 31 square sizes, 100+ rectangular sizes. For tables, cabinets, and furniture that moves less frequently on hard floors.

Slides protect the carpet from the furniture. Glides protect the floor from the furniture. Use ABS slides on carpet. Use PA6 glides on hard floors.

Slide-to-Leg Size Reference

The optimum slide size is the one that matches the leg’s actual dimension as closely as possible. Oversized slides overhang and catch on carpet fibers. Undersized slides leave the leg edge exposed to drag through the pile. Match the leg, not the approximate.

Why These Slides, Not Something Cheaper

There are three types of people who buy carpet protector slides for furniture: those who’ve just snagged a carpet they love, those who’ve replaced slides that fell off in six months, and professionals who already know what ABS means. All three end up here.

vs. Felt Pads on Carpet
Felt is designed for hard floors — soft fibers reduce friction on smooth surfaces. On carpet, felt does the opposite: soft felt fibers interlock with carpet fibers, increasing drag and making furniture harder to move. Felt also absorbs moisture from carpet cleaning, trapping it against the leg. ABS slides glide over carpet pile because the surface is harder than the fibers. Less effort to move, less damage to the carpet.
vs. Rubber Caps and Leg Tips
Rubber grips carpet fibers — that’s its purpose on hard floors. On carpet, rubber creates maximum resistance to movement. Pushing a chair with rubber caps across carpet requires significant force and damages carpet fibers with every push. ABS slides provide minimal friction on soft flooring. If your furniture is on carpet and needs to move, rubber is the worst possible choice.
vs. Generic Adhesive Glides
EHBF foam backing provides structural adhesive performance — not repositionable tape. The viscoelastic foam carrier distributes shear load across the full bond area. Waterproof adhesive survives spills and humidity. On carpet, lateral forces are higher than on hard floors — carpet fibers resist movement, transferring more shear into the bond. EHBF handles that load where standard adhesives fail.
vs. PA6 Glides on Carpet
PA6 needle-punched fiber surface is designed for hard floors — it absorbs micro-texture and provides smooth, silent movement on hardwood, tile, and stone. On carpet, PA6 fibers engage with carpet fibers, creating fiber-on-fiber friction that increases resistance instead of reducing it. ABS carpet slides present a hard, smooth surface that carpet fibers cannot grip, snag, or penetrate — the right surface for the right floor.
