I agree with this advice. We were very lucky - when we replaced the carpet in our family room, we ordered a mid-grade pad because that was the best we could afford. When the installer got here, he only had the highest grade on his truck, so he installed that at no extra charge. I can absolutely tell the difference, it is so much more comfortable to walk on. I have plantar faciitis, and when my feet are really inflamed it's the only room I can walk barefoot in.
