100% High-Density Polyurethane Foam

Love every step. Most people understand the concept of memory foam and equate it with the unrivaled comfort of premium mattresses and pillows. Using the same technology for underfoot comfort is an easy way to "connect the dots". Healthier Choice is not like other 2-3 lb. low-density memory foam products; it's a 10 lb. high-density memory foam engineered specifically for flooring applications.

Patented Foam Technology

Co-created with Dow Chemical in the mid-1970s based on foam technology created for the NASA Space Program. Healthier Choice is the only carpet cushion made of this patented high-density memory foam technology. Its advanced cell structure provides luxuriously dense, supportive comfort under your carpet.

Accidents Happen.

Everyone wants to keep their new floor clean and new looking, but accidents happen. Healthier Choice Carpet Cushion protects your family from the dangers that lurk beneath your carpet. Liquid spills can seep down into the subfloor and cause lasting moisture damage and cause mold or mildew growth.

100% Water Proof Foam

A revolutionary Breathable Moisture Barrier Skin that blocks liquid spills from penetrating down into the cushion while allowing moisture vapor to escape from beneath your flooring.

360º Mold & Mildew Protection

Infused with antimicrobial protection to prevent unpleasant odors, staining and deterioration of the underlayment by inhibiting the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria.

Patented Foam Technology

Healthier Choice's patented foam technology has a dense, micro-cellular structure engineered to absorb every step like millions of tiny shock absorbers. Our cushion is engineered to take the impact so your carpet doesn't have to. This prevents premature wear and tear, keeping your carpet looking newer and lasting longer.
