These products come in various levels of quality, and the material helps determine its performance.

It results in a multicolored pad and is the most common residential carpet pad. It comes in a 6lb and an 8lb pad. The 6lb pad is usually more cushioned and is best for bedrooms and low traffic areas. It is beneficial for its affordability, comfortability and availability. Negatively the 6lb rebond pad often wears out quicker because of the compression over time.
