Nope I ain't buying any of that ****. If I were to buy anything it would be engineered or real hardwood. I have seen and been in many of these rehabs and can tell what I'm walking on.
Pergo is engineered wood and is much more durable than real hardwood (and lighter). The Pergo I used in mine had foam insulation pre-attached. It provides good sound insulation and feels good when you walk on it. They do get cold - you can't beat the combination of foam padding and carpet for foot comfort. But we have throw rugs where it matters. The combination of throw rugs and hardwood looks better and is MUCH easier to keep clean (and non smelly - who puts carpet in a bathroom anyway?).
Pergo is not the type of engineered wood I was referring to. This would have no pad on the back and would not be found at a box store. I would also glue it down and not have all that silly shoe or 1/4 round running around everything.
