The flat sponge rubber is a denser carpet cushion which has a flat surface and is used more in large scale commercial applications usually used in Berber carpet.
Fiber carpet underlay is uses existing fibers of virgin and recycled man made or natural fibers which are woven into a sheet of felt. The natural felt is made from animal hair and jute. This is the oldest kind of under lay.
The synthetic fibers include nylon, polyester, polypropylene, and other acrylics. These are needle punched into relative dense cushions which have a firm feel. They can be made to be any weight and be made to stand up to any traffic flow.
With Berber carpet gaining in popularity be sure that the under pad you choose is rated to be used with Berber carpet because not all carpet padding is suitable for this Berber carpet.
So did you still want to save money by not installing carpet padding? I thought you'd change your mind!
