A carpet fitter acquaintance fitted a felt backed carpet for me. He advised me to get the best underlay I could afford. He reckons its more important than the quality of the carpet. Quite pleased with the felt back, so far.

Well... On my recent trtp to Allders Carpets there was no less than 6 different choices to choose from. They will sell you the most expensive fear not.
Which to me seems to defeat the purpose of buying felt-back, the fact that it is cheap.
I just had a room done and got a choice of felt back, no underlay for
200 quid or hessian backed with underlay for 500 quid. 70% of the difference in cost was the underlay.tim
