The underlay for your new carpet can be either rubber or foam (there is also felt underlay which is recommended for woven carpets).
What is important is the level of quality you choose. A better quality foam or rubber underlay will provide increased cushioning underfoot, will last longer and offer better support for the life of your carpet. It will also provide improved sound, and heat and cold insulation, all for a relatively small cost.
If the existing underlay is only 2 or 3 years old it can be reused but we do not recommend it as it will have deteriorated to some degree, particularly in the high traffic areas. If you are purchasing a carpet that will last many years you need an underlay that will last the same period of time.

Selecting a new carpet is exciting. A lot of things need to be considered – fibre type, colour and design to name a few. You want your home to be a warm and welcoming environment, but there is also an important
decision to be made regarding your carpet’s underlay.
Not only does underlay feel great underfoot, it also
improves in the longevity of the carpet. Therefore,
investing in the right underlay to complement the
style of carpet chosen will provide you with many
years of enjoyment. Connoisseur carpet underlay,
