    Cork—Soft and nonabrasive, these bumpers won't scuff your surface or objects that knock into them. Use them on wood furniture, glass, and surfaces that scratch easily.
    Hardness Rating—The harder the bumper, the better it withstands impact and abrasion over time. The softer the bumper, the more cushioning it provides for objects made of glass, soft metal, and other fragile materials. Bumpers with a medium rating offer a balance of impact resistance and cushioning.
