I bought this padding to go under a thick area rug, which I also purchased from Wayfair, under my bed. I really wanted a VERY cushy feel and the results were more than my expectations!!!! This padding gave incredible thickness to my already VERY thick area rug that it feels like ur walking on a cloud!!! It also has a great backing which is protecting my beautiful newly installed hardwood floor!! Very well worth every penny!!! Thank You Wayfair!!! :-)
