Sorry if this is slightly off-topic guys.
We moved house last year and are in the process re-decorating the entire
house. In a couple of months we will be ready for re-carpeting the entire
upstairs and staircase.

Being for the upstairs, what is the general consensus for the best underlay
with heat / sound proofing properties? I have had a quick look and seen
some but it seems very expensive, about £100 for a 10m x 1.5m roll.

Thanks

Hum, I'd be very cautious about rubber crumb based stuff. It falls apart
to black dust over a the years. And my experiences with old felt underlays
isn't much better regarding the mess when being lifted.

I've used "Cloud 9" in 10mm thickness and am very plesed with the
comfort/sound insulation etc. This is based on reclaimed polyurethane foam
sandwiched between two thin sheets. It's light and easy to handle. Time
will tell if it falls apart in use but there are no signs of that
happening here after about 5 years, even in the doorway.
