Carpet Pads: Choose The Right One

If you have a carpet or area rug, then you need a carpet pad. Carpet pads provide comfort, sound insulation and prolong the life of your rugs and carpets as well as adding protection to your floors. There are many carpet pads available to you yet you can narrow your choices to a few, depending on the use and type of floor and rug.

If you have small carpets or runners that tend to slide, then you should choose a quality non slip carpet pad. Here, I can suggest two types of pads. If you prefer a thin carpet pad, then there is a nice quality organic non slip pad that is 1/8 of an inch thick. This carpet pad still provides some comfort and does prolong the life of your rug. What it really does not do is provide any sound insulation.

The next quality non slip carpet pad is one that is a solid 1/4 of an inch jute and rubber combination pad. Here, the recycled jute surface holds your rug and the solid layer of rubber holds to the floor. Make sure to get one that has a natural layer of rubber as opposed to a sprayed on latex or rubber like substance as these can harm your floor. This type of non slip carpet pad prolongs the life of your rug and floor, adds comfort and sound insulation and prevents slipping.

Finally, if you do not have a slipping issue with your carpet, an excellent choice is a solid recycled jute carpet pad. This pad is needle punched to almost a 1/2 of an inch density and does not contain any chemicals, rubber or adhesives. It provides excellent comfort and sound insulation and protects both rug and floor as best as a carpet pad can. If this is your choice, make sure to choose one made of recycled fibers and a 40 ounce weight, or density.

Be sure to purchase a quality carpet pad for your rugs and carpets for the best in protection for carpets and floors. The small investment you make now will prove to provide a lifetime of enjoyment while avoiding the risk of damage to rug and floor.
