What is carpet underlay?

Underlay is a layer of material that's placed under flooring to help protect the flooring from the floor underneath, cushion it, absorb sound and of course, insulate. It can be made from a variety of materials, including foam, felt, and rubber. The primary purpose of underlay is to help keep carpet in good condition for longer, however most people focus on these two important factors : added soft, cushioned feel when walking on your carpet, and the additional insulation properties. 

Bonus 1) Comfort: Underlay can make your carpet feel softer and more luxurious underfoot. The additional soft layer makes your carpet feel thicker, bouncier and 

Bonus 2) Insulation: Underlay can help keep your room warm and reduce energy costs.

Bonus 3) Durability: Underlay can protect your carpet from wear and tear, extending its lifespan by up to 50%. 

Bonus 4) Sound reduction: Underlay can help reduce noise. 

Further perks of having great underlay

Environmental friendliness: Some underlays are made from recycled materials, reducing CO2 impact of producing new materials. Some are even able to be recycled completely AGAIN, further saving the environment by allowing the underlay to take on another life.
