Better Solution
Classic Aero supplies a carpet set for front and baggage floor. The front has a dense, sound deadening material glued to the back of the carpeting with spacing for the floor stringers to fit between, all edges are finish bound. The result is a level front floor. In addition, both front and baggage carpets come with industrial velcro to help hold the carpet in place. Typically, you'll find you don't need to use this in the baggage bay, and the front will require only about half of what they supply. End result is a well-insulated floor that will not "bunch up" when you climb in and out. Want a really finished look in your plane - CA supplies carpet for the seating area as well. It may seem pricey, but the end result is a perfect fit that solves multiple problems.
