Think I'd go for the 11mm in the bedrooms, nice and comfy on your

Surely the whole idea of an underlay is to allow the carpet to move
relative to the floor? But obviously on stairs they need to be tightly
fitted.

My lounge carpet has been spoiled due to the underlay having too much
give and the castors of the settees have caused craters due to the
carpet backing stretching.

One doesn't normally have settees on the stairs. And heavy point loads
will mark some types of carpet - regardless of the underlay.
