best brand and type of underlay?

I'm looking to buy some good quality underlay for our house to give us some insulation as we currently have bare floorboards. we are going to have building work done we dont want to buy nice carpets until afterwards. Trouble is that the house is currently freezing and hence I intend to put down the underlay to help insulate.
The only brand name I know is Tredaire but apart from that I dont know anything about underlay. I'd be grateful for some pointers on makes and depths etc.

Also any pointers on where to buy quantites online would be great.

TIA

    Spent a while researching underlay a few months ago, we went for the Cloud9, really comfortable underfoot. Got ours off of ebay cheaply, well cheap compared to carpet shop prices!!
