Carpet Question Corner #16: Should My Cushion and My Carpet Match?
You should first check with the manufacturer to see if a specific cushion is required.
Generally, residential cut pile, cut-loop, or high-level loop carpet requires a resilient, firm cushion with a thickness of 7/16 inch and no less than 1/4 inch with 6 pounds per cubic feet density. Types of cushion may be various polyurethane foams or rubber.
Berber carpet or thinner loop or cut pile carpet is made with large, wide loops, and it has been found that a stable, low-flexing, cushion foundation is necessary. Cushion thickness should not exceed 3/8 inch for these type products.
