I went for the foam instead of putting rugs all over my wooden floor. I am happy with the result and we now own an electric kitchen knife to cut up the roast beef!!

It gave me about 1/8" additional size on the perimeter. Be careful to not add too much extra as then the foam will buckle. The foam that I used was fairly stiff and I wanted to ensure that I did not touch the sound board.
