Protecting Laminate Flooring from heavy furniture

Our 3 peice suite has a metal base as its a recliner set 'very heavy', would i need to put carpet underneath to protect Laminate Flooring ?
i know you need it for small furniture coffee table ...
but what about bookcases, display cabinets ?
would i need to use some carpet underneath to protect floor or would it be ok as it would not be moved?

just wondering what others do to protect Laminate Flooring ?
thanks advance

    get some felt pads that are designed to proyect laminate dloor. They just stick on the legs of furniture to stop it marking.

    Can get them from The Big Sheds etc

    they are much cheaper at the local pound shop.

    i use rubber pads under the sofa feet, and some rug/carpet under my puter desk.
    the dining set has the above mentioned felt pads. all the rest of the furniture has nothing. it never moves.
    Get some gorm.

    Yeah you are right they are cheaper from the pound shop. Infact, just £1.
