Carpet Cushion Replacement – Reader Question September 14, 2009
Posted by creatingyourspace in : Carpet Cushion , trackbackDear Big Bob’s,
I am thinking about replacing my carpet because of years of pet stains and stains from my children growing up. I did not do a very good job of having the carpets cleaned each year, but I am wondering if I need to replace the carpet cushion along with the carpet.

Debbie,
Carpet cushion is important for several different reasons. It is not only there for comfort, but it also helps maintain your carpet’s original appearance.When replacing your carpet, you want to give the carpet the best chance you can to wear well. New carpet cushion will ensure that.
Things you want to consider are comfort,performance and warranty.
There are different types and qualities of carpet cushion. The better the cushion, the better your carpet will perform. Better quality cushion also blocks moisture, fights stains and odors, minimizes sound transfer between rooms, provides thermal insulation and increases air flow between the floor and your carpet for better, more efficient vacuuming.
When shopping for carpet cushion, take a sample of the cushion you are considering and place it under a carpet sample. Walk on it! Take your shoes off! See how it feels on your bare feet! You should see the difference between different grades of carpet cushion.
Investing a little more on the front end for better carpet cushion will save you money in the long run by not having to replace your carpet as quickly.
