Hi, Thank you for this question. The padding depends on method of installation. Please see below: Recommended Cushions – Stretch-In installation method. Proper cushion will play a key role in achieving satisfactory results and prolonging the life of the carpet. A proper cushion is firm and uniform in thickness. For all Nourison carpets, we recommend a commercial rubber or frothed polyurethane pad that does not exceed 3/8” inch in thickness and has a minimum density that will support the carpet to prevent excessive flexing of the backing yarns. A hair and jute, or synthetic fiber cushion ranging in weight from 32, 40 and up to 56 ounces per square yard may also be used. Cushions that are too soft or have an uneven or non-uniform density (including pads that contain deep bubbles or ripples or have a high profile i.e. waffle pads) are not recommended. Recommended Cushions – Double-Stick installation method. Special cushions are required for the Double-Stick installation method. The proper cushion may depend on the specific use requirements of the end-user. There are varying thicknesses and densities for different usage such as: heavy, moderate or light foot traffic. To get the maximum carpet performance and monetary value these conditions should be considered when choosing a cushion. We recommend Tredmore 2580 or equal pad. Recommended Cushions – Area Rugs and Runners. Special cushions are manufactured for Area rugs and Runners. Many of these products have rug/runner placement holding properties built in. Runners and Rugs often lose their original shape when exposed to concentrated foot traffic. These special cushions will help hold the carpet in place, as well as help the carpet to maintain the original shape.
