Carpet Padding Question
I have a lot of carpet padding left over from installing carpet in the bedroom.
The jute padding in my car is shot and i currently have the carpet out of the car.
Can I, or has anyone ever tried using household padding in your car? If so, any issues or concerns?

Re: Carpet Padding Question
If the household padding is made of compressed foam, you may have a problem with heat around the cat. It may melt the padding. Only other thing may be flexibility. Household padding may not be as supple and make it hard to fit into the curves and shape of a car's floor.

Re: Carpet Padding Question
thanks thought about the foam melting as well
I ended up biting the bullet and ordered the jute padding from amazon today
