Carpet Underlay

When it comes to carpet, most people focus solely on the carpet itself. But what if we told you that what lies beneath is just as important? Yes, we’re talking about carpet underpad (or carpet underlay) — the unsung hero of comfort, durability, and insulation.

If you’re investing in new carpet, choosing the right carpet & underlay combination can make all the difference. Whether you want a luxurious plush feel, soundproofing for a busy home, or enhanced durability, we’ve got you covered. This guide will break down everything you need to know about carpet underpads, how they improve your home, and how to choose the perfect one.

What Is Carpet Underpad & Why Does It Matter?

A carpet underpad is a layer of material placed underneath your carpet to provide cushioning, insulation, and support. It might not be visible, but it plays a crucial role in the performance and longevity of your carpet.

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 carpet underpad

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 carpet underpad

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

Prevents dirt buildup and keeps your carpet fresh.

Blot spills to prevent moisture from seeping into the underlay.

Protect high-traffic areas with rugs or carpet protectors.

Deep cleaning every 12-18 months extends carpet life.

If your carpet shows signs of unevenness, check if the underlay needs replacing.
