Felt pads are the small, replaceable part that decides how your air hockey table plays. A worn pad drags, scratches, and kills the glide. What separates these picks is the diameter, the thickness, and what comes in the pack — not the brand name. Get the size wrong and a pad won’t sit flat on your pusher.
Best overall: Self Adhesive Mallet Felt Pads — a 6-pack of 94mm, 2mm-thick pads that fit 96mm pushers and stick straight on. Best complete kit: URATOT Air Hockey Accessories Set — 4 pushers, 8 pucks, and 8 pads, so you replace the whole setup at once. Best bulk pack: 12-Pack Mallet Felt Pads 94mm — the same 94mm pad in a double pack, for families who wear pads out fast.
The rest of this guide breaks down each option, the sizes that matter, and how to pick the right pad for your table.
To earn a place, a listing had to state its pad diameter and thickness in numbers, say what comes in the pack, and describe how the pad attaches. Listings that only promised “smooth glide” without a size didn’t make it, because a pad you can’t match to your pusher is a coin flip.
We also favored listings that name the pusher size the pad suits, since that’s the one fact that decides whether it fits your table. Packs that mixed in a full pusher-and-puck kit, or that offered a bulk count, stayed in for readers who want spares on hand.

Best for: first-time buyers replacing worn pads
This is a 6-pack of green felt pads, each 3 3/4 inches (94mm) across and about 2mm thick. The listing says they suit a 96mm air hockey pusher, which is the common full-size mallet. The self-stick backing means you peel and press — no glue, no cutting. For a table that’s dragging, this is the simplest fix there is.
The 2mm thickness is the number to notice. The listing says the material is fibreboard with a soft felt face, and that soft face is what protects the playing surface from scratches. Six pads cover three pushers twice over, or six single mallets.
This isn’t the pick for someone with a mini table. Those pushers run around 75mm, and a 94mm pad would hang over the edge. It’s also not for anyone who wants new pushers and pucks in the same box — this is pads only.
Best for: households rebuilding a whole table setup
This set gives you 4 pushers in two colors, 8 red pucks, and 8 green pads, plus a drawstring bag for storage. The listing puts the pusher at about 3.8 x 2.3 inches, the puck at about 2.5 inches, and the pad at 3.7 inches — so the pads match the pushers in the box. If your table came with missing or broken gear, this rebuilds it in one order.
The pushers are listed as high-impact plastic, light and sturdy, with a comfortable hold. The pads are described as thick, which the listing says helps them slide fast while protecting the table top. Eight pads against four pushers means you get a spare set before you need it. The drawstring bag is a small thing, but it keeps pucks from rolling under the couch.
This isn’t for someone who just needs pads. If your pushers and pucks are fine, you’re buying parts you won’t use. It’s also not for mini tables — the listed sizes are for standard tables.
Best for: players who want spare pads on hand
This is a 12-pack of green felt pads, each about 94mm (3.7 inches) across and 2mm (0.07 inches) thick, at roughly 7g per piece. The listing says they suit 96mm pushers and calls them ideal spares. Twelve pads means you can refresh three pushers four times, or keep a full set aside for the next time a pad peels.
The listing describes the material as quality fiber lint, built to take repeated friction. That matters because the pad is the part that touches the table every single shot — it’s the first thing to wear. The install is the same peel-and-stick routine: lift the yellow backing paper, press the pad onto the pusher, and check it sits flat before you play.
This isn’t the pick if you need pushers or pucks too. It’s also not for mini tables, since 94mm is sized for full-size mallets. If your only problem is worn felt, though, this is a straight replacement.
Best for: owners of mini air hockey tables
Mini tables use smaller pushers, and this 8-pack is sized for them. Each pad is 2.91 inches (74mm) across, made to fit a 2.95-inch (75mm) mini pusher. That’s the whole point of this listing: a snug fit on a small mallet. A standard 94mm pad would overhang a mini pusher, so this is the size to check before you order anything.
The felt is listed at 2mm (0.08 inches) thick and described as soft, for an effortless, quiet glide with less friction. The listing says the material resists impact and won’t peel or lose adhesion during intense play. The backing is self-stick — peel, press, done. Eight pads give you spares for a table that only has two pushers.
This isn’t for full-size tables. If your pushers are around 96mm, these pads are too small and won’t cover the base. It’s also pads only, with no pushers or pucks in the pack.
Best for: families who wear pads out fast
This is the same 94mm, 2mm green pad as the smaller pack, doubled in count. The listing says they’re self-stick, suit a 96mm pusher, and protect the playing surface from scratches. The material is listed as fibreboard with a soft felt face that moves more smoothly. If your table gets heavy use, this many pads means you’re not reordering every few weeks.
The math is simple: a busy table with four pushers burns through pads as the felt flattens and the adhesive weakens. Twelve pads give you three full changes across four pushers. The listing doesn’t give a wear interval, so how long each pad lasts depends on how much you play and how clean your table surface is.
This isn’t for mini tables, and it isn’t for anyone who needs pushers or pucks. If you only own one pusher, this many pads is more than you’ll use for a long while.
Best for: standard tables used indoors and out
This listing is a 10-pack of replacement felt pads, crafted from polyester fiber. The seller says they suit standard air hockey tables and give a consistent, smooth gliding action. Ten pads is a generous count for a two-pusher table, and the listing frames them for everyone from casual players to students.
The listing also says these pads are made for long-lasting performance and easy maintenance, and that they’re suitable for both indoor and outdoor air hockey venues. That’s a wider use case than most pads here — if your table lives on a patio or in a garage, that line is worth noting. The seller describes the feel and control as designed for intense play.
This isn’t the pick if you need exact dimensions before ordering — the listing doesn’t print a diameter or thickness figure. If your pushers are an odd size, that’s a reason to check the fit carefully. It’s also pads only, with no pushers or pucks.
Best for: home tables used for parties and guests
This is a pack of green self-adhesive pads, made from felt the listing describes as durable and easy to clean. The seller says they suit both air hockey pushers and tables, and that the self-adhesive design is simple enough for players of all ages to apply. The pads cover three pushers, or give you spares for a two-pusher table.
The listing leans into the social side: home entertainment, parties, and other events. If your table comes out when people visit, felt the listing describes as easy to clean is a small plus for upkeep. The seller also notes the pads add challenge and excitement to the game, though that’s a feel claim rather than a number.
This isn’t for anyone who needs a stated size. The listing doesn’t print a diameter or thickness, so if your pusher is a specific measurement, confirm the fit before ordering. It’s pads only.
Best for: players who want a black pad, not green
Most pads here are green. This one is black, and it comes as a single pusher plus a single lint pad. The listing says the pad is made with ABS and lint fabric, with a soft lint surface that helps the pusher slide evenly across the table. If the green look bothers you, or your table is dark, this is the one listing that offers a different finish.
The listing frames it as a routine replacement option and a simple gift-ready add-on. One pusher and one pad means it suits a player replacing a single worn mallet, or someone who wants a spare ready to go. The self-adhesive backing keeps the swap quick — press the pad onto the bottom of the pusher and play.
This isn’t for anyone replacing pads across a full table. A single pad won’t cover four pushers, and a single pusher won’t rebuild a set. It’s also not the pick if you want a stated pad diameter — the listing gives that measurement in the title only.
Best for: casual players doing a quick pad refresh
This is a pack of green felt pads with self-adhesive backing. The listing says they’re crafted from durable felt that resists wear and tear, and that the backing makes them easy to attach to your mallets. The seller notes they suit all ages, which fits a pad you simply peel and press. The pads cover three pushers or give spares for two.
The listing describes the felt as durable and easy to clean, and says the pads help keep your gear in top condition. It also repeats the entertainment angle — more fun and challenge in the game. The install is the same across every pad here: lift the backing, line the pad up on the pusher base, and press it down flat.
This isn’t for a buyer who needs exact measurements. The listing doesn’t state a diameter or thickness, so if your pusher is an unusual size, that’s a gap to check. It’s pads only, with no pushers or pucks.
Best for: mixed groups and family game nights
This is a 10-pack of self-adhesive felt pads made from polyester fiber. The listing says the felt is durable and holds its integrity through regular use, and that the pads improve pusher performance so each strike lands better. Ten pads is a solid count — enough for a full table plus a long run of spares. The seller lists it for family fun, parties, and other events.
The listing emphasizes easy application for beginners and experienced players alike, and says the pads raise the enjoyment and competitiveness of the game. That’s a feel claim, not a measurement. What you can count on is the count and the material: polyester fiber felt with a self-stick back.
This isn’t for anyone who needs a stated size before buying. The listing doesn’t print a diameter or thickness, so match it to your pusher carefully. It’s also pads only, with no pushers or pucks in the box.
Three more listings came close. BQSPT Felt Sticker Air Hockey is a 16-pack of 94mm green pads for 96mm pushers — the biggest count we saw, and a fit for anyone who wants a long supply. 4/8-Pack 3.7-inches offers 94mm pads at 2mm thick for 96mm pushers, in a choice of pack sizes. Air Hockey Mallet Felt Pads is a 6-pack of self-adhesive green replacement stickers for standard mallets. All three are worth a look if the sizes above don’t match your table.
Measure the base of your pusher, not the handle. Standard full-size pushers measure about 96mm across, and the pads listed for them measure 94mm. Mini pushers are much smaller, around 75mm, and take a 74mm pad. If you order a 94mm pad for a mini pusher, it will overhang and drag. If you order a 74mm pad for a full-size pusher, it won’t cover the base. Measure first, then match the number in the listing title.
The pads here that print a thickness all say 2mm (about 0.07 to 0.08 inches), so that’s the figure to compare against when matching what you already have. Thickness changes how the pusher sits on the table: a thin pad keeps the mallet low and close to the surface, which most players want for control. The listing for the URATOT set describes its pads as thick, which it says helps them slide fast. There’s no single right answer, but 2mm is the number to compare against if you want to match what you already have.
Look at what’s actually worn. If the pushers are cracked or the pucks are chipped, a pad-only pack won’t help — you want a set like the URATOT Air Hockey Accessories Set, which includes 4 pushers, 8 pucks, and 8 pads. If the pushers and pucks are fine and only the felt is flattened or peeling, a pad pack is all you need. Pads are the part that touches the table, so they wear first. Check the pusher base and the puck edges before you order.
Count your pushers, then add spares. A two-pusher table uses two pads at a time, so a 6-pack gives you three changes. A four-pusher table burns through four per change, which makes the 12-pack the better fit. Felt flattens and adhesive weakens with play, and how fast depends on your table surface and how often you play. If you host games often, a higher count saves a reorder. If you own one pusher, a 6-pack will last you a long time.
The cleaner route is to buy the size that matches your pusher. That’s why the 74mm Mini Pusher Felt Pads exist — they’re made for mini pushers around 75mm, so there’s no trimming at all. If your pusher is an odd size between the two, measure carefully and pick the closer number. A pad that’s slightly small still sits inside the base; one that’s too big will overhang and drag.
Start with a clean, dry pusher base. Wipe off old adhesive and dust before you press the new pad on, then run your thumb around the edge to seat it flat. The listings here describe self-stick backing — the Gejoy 94mm Felt Pads say to peel the yellow paper, press the pad on, and make sure it fits well.
The felt pad. It’s the only part touching the table, so it takes the friction of every shot. The Gejoy listing describes its pads as built to withstand multiple frictions, and the 74mm Mini Pusher Felt Pads listing says the felt is meant to prevent scratches and wear on the table. When the felt flattens or the adhesive gives, the pusher drags and the table surface is at risk.
For a two-pusher table, yes. Six pads give you three full changes, and a pad pack like the Self Adhesive Mallet Felt Pads covers that. If your table has four pushers, a 6-pack is only one change plus two spares, so the 12-Pack Mallet Felt Pads 94mm makes more sense. The URATOT set includes 8 pads alongside its 4 pushers and 8 pucks, which covers a four-pusher table twice.
For most people, the Self Adhesive Mallet Felt Pads is the pick — a 94mm, 2mm pad that fits standard 96mm pushers and sticks on with no fuss. If your pushers and pucks are also worn, the URATOT Air Hockey Accessories Set rebuilds the whole setup in one order. Before you buy, measure your pusher base and match that number to the listing. That one step decides whether the pad sits flat or drags. Everything else — the count, the color, the material — is a smaller choice after the size is right.
