Carpet cushion also commonly called carpet padding plays such an important role in the longevity and wearability of your carpet, but is often overlooked. The reality is, most consumers go to purchase their carpet and by the time they are overwhelmed with all of the carpet selections, they choose the first carpet padding that the flooring consultant shows you – if you even see the sample at all!
