Depends what room IMO. I wouldn't use it on the stairs or high traffic areas for instance.
What properties do you want, underfoot comfort, sound absorption, thermal properties, carpet support.
Then yeah it'll be fine. Perfect for bedrooms.
Not really a case of best, the softer and thicker you go, technically the worse for the carpet. But comfier for bare feet.Great thanks, I wasn’t aware there was so many types and thicknesses. Any recommendations on what’s best for a bedroom? Think the last stuff I got was 9mm but happy to go with whatever is best for a bedroom.

I suggest you read the thread, it's been answered.What's wrong with thick underlay in a living room?
I don't think it is, unless your saving you can't get firm thick underlay? I thought going thicker was always better for the life of the carpet, ours certainly feels comfier with thicker underlay. I can understand soft underlay causing issues with a carpet but it's firm I don't see the problem.I suggest you read the thread, it's been answered.
It's a scale of comfort/softness Vs support/good for your carpet.
Obviously if you only use crap carpet use soft underlay, but if you use expensive carpet your not going to want to ruin it.
Holy thread revival Batman!
So looking to buy a load of underlay for two bedrooms and a living room. All will be carpeted pretty cheaply as they won’t be down more than 5 years due to refurbishment plans is cloud 9 still the go to? Anyone recommend a supplier? I need gripper as well is there a go to brand or is it all pretty much the same?
got a link to the seller?I'd still go for Cloud 9, the most recent batch I got was just from an eBay seller as they were the cheapest. I also got some grippers from eBay and it was about £30 to cover the whole house, they're all basically the same.
Sadly not, it changes each time.got a link to the seller?
They've been cheapest for me more often than not as well.You searched for cloud 9 - Tradepriced Carpet Underlay

Used these a few timesNormally get the 11mm stuff
The place I was looking at getting the carpet wanted 1.50 per gripper and said I needed 80 of them for the new place
An entire box is like 35quid lol
They are like 1m lengths arent they?
Used them years ago for some Sonic Gold underlay for my engineered wood floor (also recommended from here) and had completely forgotten about them they seem to be well priced for Cloud 9 once VAT and delivery are added.You searched for cloud 9 - Tradepriced Carpet Underlay
