It’s nice to relax while the children play in the next room, knowing a bit of rough and tumble will not hurt too much, as the floor is padded with a quality underlay. It’s lovely to walk around in your bedroom barefoot, sinking your toes into the lush carpeting, and barely hearing a sound. This is not so much to do with the quality of carpeting, but the type of underlay beneath it.

Underlay does more than just provide a layer between a base floor and the carpeting, ensuring it just does not feel like you’re walking on a carpet sample in a warehouse. It blocks out sound, it keeps heat in, or allows under floor heating to rise through the floor. So the best quality shag carpeting for your bedroom is only really as good as the underlay beneath it.

With these few but distinctive differences in underlay, you can see how it’s important to get it right. Cloud 9 underlay is considered a top quality brand, and sells the idea of walking on a cloud, which is what you’re looking for in your carpet.

You want your nice to carpet to feel good, like you’re walking on a cloud. In fact one popular brand of underlay in the UK is called “cloud 9″. Just make sure you work out what sort of underlay you need before buying your carpet and planning to install it.

Underlay is not just for carpet either. If you have laminate flooring it’s essential to have underlay for that as well, or again, you just feel like you are walking on planks set on concrete! The quality and type of underlay can completely change the way a room “sounds” when you are walking in it as well as the way it feels.

If you’re looking for Underlay for Carpets, you can find a wide selection at the Simply Underlay website.
