Types of Bumpers Available
Our collection spans several key types, each tailored to specific applications.
Furniture and Cabinet Door Bumpers
Self-adhesive rubber or silicone pads, like those from ScotchBrand, are clear, sound-dampening dots perfect for drawers, cabinet doors, and tabletops. They stop slams, protect walls from marks, and provide a non-slip grip for cutting boards. Packs of 200 or more offer great value for whole-home applications, fitting seamlessly into any Hardware upgrade project.

Foam bed bumpers with water-resistant covers, such as the hiccapop 2-pack or Milliard options, are lifesavers for parents. These guard rails fit twin, queen, or king beds, featuring hypoallergenic materials and non-slip bases for toddlers, kids, adults, or seniors.
