Putting carpeting under mattress

[afinepoint]

The surface beneath our mattress is plywood/pressed board. The exposed edge is carpeted. I plan to carpet the entire surface for additional sound proofing, insulation and to prevent touching a splinter nursery.

I can't see any issues doing this and presume the manufacturer didn't do it to reduce costs.

If you used a thinner carpet, you may be able to cover the edge of the plywood and staple it to the underside which extends beyond the storage area under the bed. I've never thought of using carpet to do this. I have thought of glueing insulation board to the underside of the platform.

On a non 4 season trailer, has anyone determined whether there is any benefit to adding insulation board to the back of storage compartment doors?

What a great idea. Never would of thought of it. Will put a little padding under the mattress also.

These are 5/8 inch thick they interlock, provide a non slip surface, insulation, and sound proofing.
I used this under our bed, I cut one side to fit perfectly, I can take them out to clean.
