Density
Why is density important?

The density represents how much foam is packed into each cubic metre of underlay. A high-value density will indicate a better quality underlay (more foam, less air!). As a rule, the higher these numbers, the more luxurious and supportive the carpet underlay will feel. The higher the density, the longer the life of the carpet.
