You should usually get a carpet pad. The carpet pad acts as a support for your carpet. As you step down and walk on your carpet, the carpet pad provides a surface that will give a little bit. This will support the fiber and the carpet itself. Carpets are made in two layers- primary and secondary. Basically, the carpet pad makes a slightly resilient surface to help support that carpet. It allows the carpet to spring back if you walk on it. It will help your carpet wear better. Carpet pads will increase the life of your carpet.
Carpet pads can go anywhere from 3 lbs all the way to 18 lbs. Although personally, I think anything over 8 to 10 lbs is throwing your money away.
