Carpet Underlay

Question

I have old underlay that appears to be in ok condition. Is it a good idea to lay new underlay on top for extra cushioning?

Damian · Accepted Answer

Personally I’d recommend removing the old underlay and starting a fresh. 
But a good quality underlay and you’ll be better off

It's generally not recommended to lay new underlay on top of old underlay. It can affect the stability and performance of the flooring. It's best to remove the old and replace it with a new one for better cushioning and support.

I personally wouldn't  lay over  the top if still in good condition just stick to new carpet

Isaaq · Answer

In my opinion if the old underlayer is in good condition then adding new one would be counterproductive. If you do decide to lay new underlay make sure that it is joined to the original underlay properly as it may cause you problems

Marin · Answer

No is not a good idea to lay a new under lay on top an another under lay. Yes, you can do that but it's gonna be to soft underneath your foot.  The idea is if there are 2 layers of tine underlay, yes that is ok
