Welcome to Carpet Cushion Council

As the industry resource for answers to carpet cushion-related questions, the Carpet Cushion Council educates carpet retailers, manufacturers, distributors, and cushion manufacturers about the benefits of carpet cushion. Ultimately, the Carpet Cushion Council's objective is to provide carpet retailers with tools necessary to improve communication with customers and increase overall sales.

The Essential Role of Carpet Padding
Proper carpet cushion (often referred to as carpet padding or underlayment) is the foundation of any successful carpet installation. High-quality cushion significantly extends the lifespan of your carpet, provides essential sound absorption and acoustical benefits, and improves a room's thermal R-value for maximum energy efficiency.

Committed to Sustainability & Standards
The Council is dedicated to environmental sustainability and superior indoor air quality. We proudly support the CRI Green Label Plus program to ensure low VOC emissions and actively champion carpet cushion recycling initiatives across the industry. Whether you are looking for commercial cushion criteria, ADA compliance guidelines, or the latest carpet installation standards, we are your definitive technical resource.
