I've just bought rustic oak laminate flooring from homebase in the sales and the genuinely helpful (carpenter) assistant recommended the softboard underlay for my living room and hall. It was a little more expensive but he said the benefits over the tinfoil covered foam were much better.
Once my carperts are lifted and the old underlay binned, I have tiles under all that, which will remain and the softboard underlay and floor boards will then go down. My question is, do I need a damp proof membrane. The assistant didn't mention anything and as I said, he seemed to know his stuff.
