Felt Backed Carpets for Easy, Affordable Fitting
At Urmston Carpets, we stock a huge selection of felt backed carpets – perfect for anyone looking for great value flooring that’s easy to fit and comfortable underfoot.
Felt backed carpets are ideal for DIY installations, rental properties, and budget-friendly makeovers. They can be fitted with or without underlay, making them a quick and cost-effective flooring solution.
What Are Felt Backed Carpets?
A felt backed carpet has a built-in felt layer that provides extra comfort and insulation, meaning there’s no need for separate underlay. This makes it an excellent option if you want an easy-fit carpet that still feels soft and warm underfoot.
Benefits of Felt Backed Carpets:
Can be fitted directly to the floor (no underlay required)
Soft, cushioned feel underfoot
Affordable and great for quick installations
Easy to cut, shape, and fit yourself
Available in a wide range of colours and textures
Ideal for landlords, rentals, and high-turnover properties
Why Choose a Felt Backed Carpet?
Felt backing gives your carpet extra flexibility and comfort while keeping costs down. It’s perfect for:
Bedrooms and Living Rooms – cosy and comfortable underfoot.
Rented Homes – durable, affordable, and easy to replace.
Quick Home Refreshes – ideal when you want a fresh look fast.
DIY Fitting – no professional tools or stretching required.
💡 Tip: For busy homes or high traffic areas, we recommend combining your felt backed carpet with a hard wearing twist pile for longer life.
