Underlay is vital to increase the life and durability of your carpet. It also provides a softer feeling underfoot, and increases the insulation qualities of your carpet. Underlay can be reused if it's only 1-3 years old, however it is highly advisable to replace underlay when you replace carpet, as underlay ages and shows wear too, especially in high-traffic zones.

There are three main types of underlay- rubber, foam and felt. Different types of carpet need different underlay, and each underlay provides for different levels of comfort, sound, insulation and quality.
