Even though you can’t see the carpet cushion it is just as important to consider as the carpet itself. Did you know that it’s carpet cushion, not the carpet itself that determines how a carpet feels beneath your feet?

Carpet cushion:

Helps preserve the look of the carpet
Can extend the life of the carpet
Provides protection against wear
Absorbs the impact of foot traffic
Can improve the sound absorption in a room
Actually helps keep your carpet cleaner and easier to maintain
Things to consider when purchasing carpet cushion:

Thicker is not always better
Look for cushion that is not too soft nor too hard – this is purely personal preference
If different rooms have different needs, different cushion can be used in different areas
Put your money in the cushion, better cushion allows you to buy a less expensive carpet
Make sure that if you are purchasing prime urethane cushion that it is FHA approved
When selecting carpet cushion, place the sample under a carpet sample and walk on it. Take your shoes off and feel the difference. You will be surprised at how great the right cushion can make a piece of carpet feel.
