Old rug on compost?

We’re getting rid of a large old rug roughly 2m x 3m. Is it worth folding up ontop of the compost to keep the heat in?
can compost get too hot? I don’t want to have to store this rug in summer.

If it’s really too dry, put a watering can over it. We don’t get that problem, it’s almost always raining some time of the day here.
There is no way I’d be able to get my husband to do that! Got soil, got grass cuttings.
I have watered it (waste water) and covered now with a square of pond liner, so I’ll see if it stays a bit wetter.
The carpet will get wet with the rain, I won’t line it with plastic and will continue to water the compost underneath with the hose.
