Add the carpet and padding R-values together to calculate the total insulation factor. The best type of carpet padding for each room varies depending on the carpeting it supports, the level of foot traffic, and the brand. Top-quality carpet padding is moisture-proof and has high-density ratings.
Installing the wrong size carpet padding damages the carpet and voids the warranty. The padding type should suit the floor location. For example, choose moisture-protective padding for damp basements and thinner padding for radiant-heat flooring. Carpet padding is a sheet of foam, rubber, felt, or spongy material that goes underneath the carpet for protection. Installers glue or staple the underlay for carpet to subflooring.
Under the padding is a subfloor typically made from plywood or OSB that creates a level surface. Carpet padding helps protect carpets to last longer, feel more comfortable, and insulate better. Carpets without padding deteriorate faster.
Padding also creates a quieter home, protects the subfloor, and are more vacuum-friendly. Carpet padding is not moisture-resistant and will trap dampness and grow mold if used with indoor-outdoor carpets outside. Installers typically replace padding when installing new carpet. Worn-out padding is less-supportive for joints and can have smelly stains, mold, or mildew that affects new carpet. Some carpets require a new specific padding to maintain warranty. Most new and upgraded carpet padding makes carpet last longer, feel better, and protects subflooring with these features:.

Shopping for new carpet is exciting. There are a wealth of colors and styles to choose from, and close to a half-dozen fibers to consider.
Carpet in a home may look good and feel great under your feet, but it would be a different story if the pad were removed. It ads cushioning underfoot but also provides stability along with insulation and noise reduction. The best carpet padding will protect the backing on the bottom of your carpet and keep it from breaking down, thus prolonging the life of your carpet.
If you choose the wrong type of padding, it can actually cause problems, however. As manufacturers strive to push innovation and come up with greener products, new hybrids are introduced every year. You may even find some interesting choices in local carpet shops, but the most common carpet padding types are also the most popular for a good reason. Rebond carpet padding is among the cheapest forms available and is made from recycled foam, which gives it a multicolored appearance. If you choose the right density, rebond carpet padding is often the best way to go unless your style of carpet calls for another option.
Homes that have heavy foot traffic in carpeted areas may want to consider our next option. From the foam family, the best choice would be frothed foam.

Frothed foam provides durability and is dense underfoot, while rebounded foam is an affordable all-around choice. Memory foam is similar to frothed foam but has been infused with gel, which gives it the feel memory foam is famous for. Memory foam beds are something many of us have had experience with, and you can have that same sinking feeling beneath your feet with this type of carpet padding. The last type of commonly used foam in the carpet industry is called prime foam, although its name can be misleading.
That means they can be reasonably firm, but not suitable for heavy foot traffic. One of the oldest styles of carpet padding, the classic waffle pad, is still available today.
