Many consumers believe Carpet Padding or Cushion, is used for the purpose of comfort while walking. However the primary reason for Carpet Pad or Cushion is to absorb the impact that the carpet would otherwise be subjected to. An impact can cause synthetic latex to break down, it can cause backing to stretch, or even the separation of the primary backing from the secondary backing. You may be surprised to know that the best performing Carpet Cushion actually provides less comfort when walking on it.
