I purchased some carpet underlay from a auto carpet supplier. have a search on the net

I used laminate flooring underlay sponge to do the whole car, its about 3-4mm thick so you can double it up to make the original thickness of the old crappy stuff, if you leave it out the carpet could sag around the centre tunnel and around the edges of the footwell and then tear. Best of all is the sponge is virtually weightless and deadens a hell of a lot of road noise.
