The best carpet underlays for stairs are extremely durable, because stairs (along with landings and hallways) typically experience the highest foot traffic in the home.
Therefore, you’ll need a stair carpet underlay made from compression–resistant materials like memory foam (such as Plushwalk), or highly dense materials that can spring back easily. Otherwise, the carpet or flooring on your stairs is likely to deteriorate quickly, flattening in areas where you tread often.
Our stair underlay options all fit the bill, especially Plushwalk 10mm, which is often recommended by our experts for its memory foam construction and longevity. Recovering up to 92% from compression, it’s the perfect solution for stairs or heavy–traffic areas.
Whether you’re fitting full carpet to your staircase or only need a stair runner underlay, you can’t go wrong with the resilient products from Simply Underlay.
