Works well
It’s easy to work with carpet padding. It provides enough padding for rooms that don’t have cement/concrete flooring.

Has some extremely hard material in it. After walking on top of it decided it needed to be cut out. Some spots were already ripped, or had missing material. While moving it around a piece of hard plastic or glue fell out, which was huge. If it went under without being noticed it would definitely hurt if you stepped on it. For the price, you get a good amount of it. 3/5

    bad math in lake wales, florida 33853
    I only needed 120sq feet of padding. Both sales associates sent me home with 3 rolls of this padding. * one roll covers 250 sq feet!! I didnt know this untill after reading the reviews. So anyway i kept one roll and had plenty left over to cover the room a second time. So now the pad is 3/8x2 thick and equal to 10lb rather then its orignal 5 lbs

      Great for sound insulation too
      I used this padding under all my apartments through rugs with better then expected results. Walking on the floor can no longer be heard by my down stairs neighbor. It is super soft on the feet and helps to hold the rugs in place. It also insulates against bad weather too. One unsuspecting feature of the padding was how well it reduced echos and improved overall acoustics of the place. I ended up making cool acoustic panels by mounting the padding on thin wood covered in a speaker grill cloth. Placed around the apartment, our conversations can no longer be heard outside of the thin walls and the home theater sounds awesome. Worth it!

      Matt, we recommend this product for only floorcovering applications only. We do not recommend or suggest this product to be used for any other type of application, especially on walls. FutureFoam

        Product and Price cannot be beat!
        This product was so easy to install. I came home from work and it was already installed by my wonderful wife. My wife surprised me at her age (almost 60), and found this the easiest project to do. The Material is great, and walking on it gives you the feeling of having carpet down already. I could not beat the price, and with 7 more rooms to do, I will sure stick to this Padding. Shipping was fast also, and right to my front door which saved me a big headache in trying to get it into a little pickup. Thank you.

        Great product. I used it in our basement for a DIY carpet project. The only complain is that home depot did not store them well in their store, so it had yellowing in the places the wrapping material was not covering the product fully.

        The foam is thin and not really great for anything except short term carpet areas. If you are looking for long term comfort do not get this product

        Thank you for your feedback. This is a base grade use product. If you are looking for a better grade product, you can purchase Contractor 6 which is a 6# density product in a 7/16 inch thickness and for an even better product there is Step Ahead which is an 8# density product in a 7/16 inch thickness.

        Seems sturdy and like a nice thickness/weight. It looks like it will hold up well, but we haven't had it long enough to know for sure. It feels good under the large area rug, nice for sitting on the floor. We used carpet shears to cut it to size, but it is easy enough to cut with kitchen scissors.

        Used this product under my above ground pool for a little cushion. Works great! It dries quickly when water get on it. Laid nice and flat.

        Available and met the need for the project. Stayed together well when cut and comfortable under the carpet.

        I am not a carpenter!
        But this was such a an easy DIY installation. The foam/padding can be cut with regular scissors and was surprisingly well-cushioned. I used this for extra padding underneath our rug, made from scrap carpet and was surprised with the low price for what was provided. It comes in roll that is about 18-20 inches in diameter and fit nicely in my SUV with the backseats down/collapsed. My kids love being on the rug and it provides a nice cushion when doing living room campouts!
