Hi Richard

In my home and all of my investment flats, I use Cloud 9 Cumulus
(11mm), or Cirrus (9mm), (comparable alternatives are Tredaire
Dreamwalk and Softwalk).

The 11mm just works with normal grippers, and is lovely underfoot. The
9mm works well with grippers and I'm not sure I can tell the
difference.

Any of these underlays make a relatively cheap carpet feel much more
expensive IMHO

You can get them on ebay for less than tradepriced. Around £40 per
roll, (18sq yds), plus £13.99 p&p for the first roll, and £7.99 for
subsequent rolls.

Thanks for this.

Just wondering, do you have an idea yet of how long they last and how
they turn out when they [begin to] fail?


No, I've only been using it since 2003 - but people in the trade,
(fitters and suppliers), have tended to confirm that they are excellent
quality and last for a long time.

Ask in a few carpet shops how much it is per yard - it will be around
£5-£6, whereas the ebay prices are around £3 per yard.
