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.

Healthier Choice offers 360º protection against damage caused by spills, moisture vapor, and microbial 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.

Healthier Choice's patented foam technology is engineered to last for the life of the carpet – backed by our NeverCrush Guarantee.

Dense Micro-Cellar Structure

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.

Carpet Cushion with Certified Peace of Mind.

Healthier Choice has been independently screened for over 10,000 harmful chemicals.


Healthier Choice was created 27 years ago as an alternative to other carpet padding which contain harmful chemicals known to cause cancer and other health related issues. Healthier Choice goes to great lengths to ensure that harmful chemicals are not included in our foam. We partnered with The Carpet and Rug Institute and Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to screen our foam for over 10,000 harmful chemicals.

Because of Healthier Choice Carpet Cushion's incredible durability and NeverCrush Guarantee, it will last twice as long in the home, which lessens its impact on the environment compared to other flooring products. And, at the end of its useful life it is 100% recyclable which means it never has to end up in a landfill.
