How thick you need your next carpet underlay to be is dependent on your budget, comfort preferences and how much sound absorption and heat insulation you desire.
The thicker the underlay, the more expensive it tends to be - the Wilsons Underlays we stock range between 8 - 12mm in thickness.
If you’re buying on a budget, we recommend opting for an 8mm underlay, as they’re more affordable and still provide a comfortable amount of cushioning underfoot.
However, if you desire an even softer and more luxurious feel, you should look at carpet underlays from 10mm upwards.
If you want the highest levels of sound absorption and heat insulation, you’ll require a thicker carpet underlay, such as the Plushwalk 12mm Carpet Underlay. This fantastic product offers an incredible 3.5 tog rating to keep you toasty throughout the year, and an impressive 49dB sound reduction to make your home less noisy
