Does underlay increase carpet durability?

Question

How does underlay increase the lifespan of a carpet? Surely, it's the type of carpet that matters?

Alan · Answer

Doesn't necessarily increase durability.  It's a comfort thing. Soft to walk on. For me a good underlay and good carpet, no better feeling bare foot

Hi yes the underlay does increase the lifespan of a carpet . It also adds to the comfort , heat retention and sound proofing . No point putting down a decent carpet on cheap underlay or no underlay at all . 35 plus years in the business.

When you use the underlay down the carpet you minimise the friction between  your shoes and the carpet. Otherwise  it insulate better  from noises and cold temperatures ,plus it's  more comfortable.

yes the underlay will definitely protect the carpet

Sanjar · Answer

So because it provides a protective barrier between floor and carpet, a quality carpet underlay can help extend the lifetime of a carpet by as much as 30% to 50%. In effect it acts as a shock absorber, preventing the carpet pile from flattening and protecting it from wear and tear, particularly in high-traffic areas.
