Think of it as the mattress beneath your sheets. A good one makes all the difference. A quality carpet underlay enhances comfort, protects your flooring, and even improves energy efficiency.

Types Of Underpad
Which One Is Right For You?

Foam
Foam underlay is one of the most popular choices, thanks to its lightweight and affordability. It’s great for providing a soft, cushioned feel underfoot.

Rubber
Rubber underlays come in two types: sponge rubber and crumb rubber. Sponge rubber is soft and flexible, while crumb rubber is denser and better suited for high-traffic areas.

Felt
Made from recycled fibers, felt underlay is dense and offers excellent durability and insulation. It's often used with woven carpets.

Combination
This type blends different materials to offer the best of both worlds. Typically, it combines foam and rubber to balance comfort and durability.
Carpet & Underlay Maintenance Tips
Vacuum Regularly
Prevents dirt buildup and keeps your carpet fresh.
Clean Spills Immediately
Blot spills to prevent moisture from seeping into the underlay.
Use a Carpet Protector
Protect high-traffic areas with rugs or carpet protectors.
Schedule Professional Cleaning
Deep cleaning every 12-18 months extends carpet life.
Inspect the Underlay
If your carpet shows signs of unevenness, check if the underlay needs replacing.
