Carpet Underlay - Foam

Lightweight foam underlays are designed to raise the bar when it comes to performance and have quickly grown to become the product of choice. Every polyurethane (PU) foam underlay also helps to reduce waste by being made with recycled post industrial material and, where local facilities exist, can even be fully recyclable at the end of their long service life.

Each PU foam underlay is differentiated by its performance characteristics so the thicker the underlay the better the comfort, whilst the greater the density the better the more consistently your underlay will perform over time.

Floorwise describe this correlation between thickness and density as ‘bouncebackability’ which helps explain how underlays will perform and to define which products would be better for certain environments. Thinner higher density products being best suited to high traffic areas like hallways, stairs and landing whilst in areas like bedrooms a thicker product gives a more luxurious feeling underfoot.
