Buying carpet underlay off the internet

Innys

Has anyone done this and, if so, were they satisfied with what was delivered?

I have done a search and this place seems to be one of the cheapest:

Have anyone used them and, if so, would you care to share you experiences?

Thanks

Thanks to both who have replied so far.

The only remaining query I have is in relation to the quality of the underlay. I went into my local carpet shop today and they advised that the underlay sold on the 'Net is "seconds"

Now, I know they have an interest in me buying carpet and underlay from them and I took what they said with a large handful of salt but felt it may be worth getting the views of fellow MSErs. So, would you say the underlay you bought was as good as, or better than, that bought on the High St?

Thanks

Your local carpet shop was talking rubbish.

If you buy the same brand of underlay online as in the store, it should be the same unless otherwise noted.
We bought the underlay for our carpets online a few years back because from memory it worked out at about the same cost to get the best of the type we wanted online, as to buy the cheapest in store.

I always buy my carpet (same carpet every house) from same branch of a national carpet company. Their own Manager advised me to buy underlay online to save money! Your local shop is taking you for a fool!

Hi Innys

I bought off Trade Price around Nov 2010 and had no problems, placed order early morning and underlay was delivered next day

I have used them for underlay last year, very quick delivery & cheaper than most. I bought Cloud 9 Cirrus 9mm, very pleased with it. I will be buying more when I do my bedroom.

He's right, its my trade as well ...... the foam underlay is the stuff to get these days, especially if you have concrete floors as its warmer, the rubber underlay is made from old tyres and just retains the coldness of the concrete.
I always use Cloud 9 underlay as well, the best in my opinion ..... be prepared to ease all your doors tho :-)
