Default Which carpet underlay?

I have seen a bit about carpet underlay recently. It seems that Cloud 9 is
highly rated. What is not clear to me is why. I realise that it is lighter
and so preferred by many fitters. It also has a higher tog value so
preferred on cold concrete floors.

But we are about to get a very ordinary bedroom carpet, on a standard
boarded first floor. The room is small and so there is a very definite
traffic area - with the vast majority under the bed, wardrobe, etc. Our
prime concern is the resistance of the underlay to getting unevenly worn in
this traffic area. Would Cloud 9 be better than recycled rubber, tredaire,
old fashioned felt? Any other suggestions?
