Is Carpet Underlay Really Worth It?

When people are decorating their home and choosing the new flooring for the rooms in their property they often only consider the visual aspect of the changes they are making. One of these is which type of carpet to buy. Which colour should they get? Which pattern would look the best in their home?

However, what they usually do not consider is purchasing a carpet underlay to go underneath their carpet. There are many benefits to using carpet underlay and what many people do not realise is that it is more beneficial to invest in a premium underlay and then to get a cheaper carpet rather than spending a lot on a carpet and choosing to waylay underlay completely.
