What do you put between a carpet and a tile floor?

A carpet pad is usually put under a carpet to make it softer, to absorb sound, and to act as additional insulation between the tile floor and the room.

There is a foam pad they use underneath the carpet.
And along the edges the put a "tack" strip which has thousand s of upside down tacks thru a wood strip. This grips the edges of the carpet and keeps it in place. Although the pad isn't absolutely necessary it is advisable.

If you are just tallking about an area rug, you buy a rug pad. If your talking about laying carpet over tile you would use carpet padding.
