OK, thanks, that sounds like something - is that to keep height low? Or for a better end result (possibly both) and what kind of mat are you talking?

Something like this: https://www.tilemasteradhesives.co.uk/anti-fracture-mat/tilemaster-anti-fracture-mat ?

And does this sound achievable for an idiot?

This is the kind I've used in the past :-

18mm ply will probably give you a more stable surface than 9mm over floorboards. Most of the time you do want to avoid increasing floor depth too much.

Why is this? I would have thought the more floor, the more solid underfoot it'd feel. I remember my father in law having karndean in his kitchen and it always felt like a school dining hall with concrete underneath.
