Abstract
"A good quality pad or cushion adds to the comfort and life of a carpet. Insist on good quality padding - it can extend carpet life 50 percent. The industry recommends a pad costing no less than 15 percent of the carpet cost. A good carpet pad not only adds to the life of the carpet but provides comfort under foot, thermal and acoustical advantages and a safety factor in places where the young and elderly are like to fall. Because carpet pile flattens down less on a cushion, the pad also adds to the carpet's appearance. Padding should be firm yet soft enough for comfort. Although a soft underlay is appealing it may cause leg fatigue and a spongy sensation or instability underfoot. Over a soft underlay carpet backing may stretch and possibly break under heavy weight."--First paragraph.
