Thick, cushy, 100% virgin New Zealand wool carpet pad - 24 oz and 36 oz

Godfrey Hirst's thick, luxurious carpet cushions surpass all expectations. Unlike carpet padding made from petroleum-based urethanes, synthetic latex or questionable post consumer content, these unique cushions are made from 100% pure virgin wool. They are all-natural products, not laced with toxic additives.

Nature Underfoot comes in two thicknesses: The regular Underfoot is the lighter and thinner option weighing 24 oz a square yard and is 1/4" thick. The Bigfoot is the heavier and thicker option weighing 36 oz a square yard and is 1/2" thick. Both provide a very cushy feel that's lasting and won't let you down, literally. That's because New Zealand wool has a superb memory that simply never crushes.

A good carpet cushion can add to the useful life of a carpet. It can also improve the acoustical and thermal properties and reduce the overall maintenance costs.

Why we like it

You have to feel this pad to believe it. It's almost as soft as the carpet itself, and together they make a great team. If you're reading this, you're probably considering a wool carpet. If so, why would you want to put anything synthetic underneath it? Try a sample and you'll see why this is the best way to protect your carpet and provide the comfort you're looking for. If you have allergies or chemical sensitivities, this is as pure as it gets.
