There are many different types of carpet underlay available on the market today. Traditionally a rubber underlay has been the most popular but this underlay has perhaps seen it day.
Rubber is still an excellent underlay and will always have its place, especially on the stairs however PU foam underlay is fast becoming the market leader.
PU underlay was originally developed in the USA and has made a growing appearance in the UK in the last 15 years. It is now our most popular underlay type and Tredaire Dreamwalk is our favourite. This product from the Seventh Heaven range combines quality and value and is difficult to beat - especially when considering our cheap prices!
PU underlay has many advantages - it is kind to the environment, it is light and easy to handle and transport. But above all that it is comfortable underfoot.
The most luxurious underlay we supply is Tredaire Sensation. Being some 40% more dense than Dreamwalk and still only 11mm tick this must be a challenger for the best carpet underlay on the market.
