What brand/size floor exercise mat works best for this bike?

Mine is on concrete flooring, but I would suggest a very firm mat to prevent rocking while pedaling. Skip those cheap soft foam interlocking mats you can get at local home improvement stores and opt for a firmer "horse stall" rubber mat...one 4x6ft mat would be perfect.

The exact footprint is 45" by 24". Everything drips off of me straight down and if i spill water the same. I would say any size mat that size or larger would be perfect. It's a great bike. One thing to remember is the resistance is friction. I keep an oily rag nearby and once a week oil the wheel per the manufacturers directions. This keeps tension adjustments very consistent. Good luck

It's a really good, sturdy mat and heavy duty enough. You'd just need a longer one. Mine's only about 5' and I use it for my spin bike.

The Cardio Max Mat is 3mm (1/8") Thick. Thank you for your interest in our product:)

As the other responders have mentioned, 1/2" mats are good for cushioning for exercise programs like P90X, Insanity or CrossFit. For long term standing, I agree with the other responders that anti-fatigue mats are probably your best bet. Or you might look for a mat that is 3/4" thick or more. Also you don't need a 48 sq foot mat because it is 4'x6', which is probably bigger than you need, although the pieces can be disassembled easily. But before you invest in mats, make sure the shoes you are wearing are appropriate for the time you will be standing. A good cushioning cross-trainer or walking shoe might be better than a mat.

If space is an issue- the 55-4266. It is more compact and easily rolls on wheels for storage. A popular mid-range one is the 55-4700 which has everything you need. However, the most popular is the 55-5557. It has a longer bed, sits 15: off of the ground, has a sleek look, and has 4 springs for different resistance levels. Whichever model you decide on- know that most people want it to include a stand and rebounder, as well as exercise videos.

This one is a poly wheel. Let me know ifyou are still looking a softer wheel. Poly will not mark the floors. Soft black rubber will. thanks

I bought the mat for my son who is a big guy (225#). He uses it for exercise & stretching & is very satisfied with it. He has uncarpeted hardwood floors and finds the padding completely adequate.

I would look at and compare the hardware under the seat currently on the exercise bike with photos of seats you are interested in. If you're still not sure, contact the exercise bike company.

It is just a tad bit longer as the one I got, but uses the same size risers. Nothing on the bottom, I use mine on carpet and never had a issue. If you use on hardwood floors I suggest using the same mats as exercise equipment

I think hardwood floor would be best but you could probably use it on a carpet that isn't too plush. Don't think it would cause damage As long as it didn't slide around. I have a work out mat under mine.

I don't know what other mat you're referring to. I ordered this mat & it works perfectly for my treadmill.

Measure the width of your seat. Bought it and it was too small for my exercise bike.

They will not fit because the left side mat has holes in it for the floor hook. The floor hook is to prevent the mats from sliding under the pedals.

This pad is pretty thick and works great for me, but my floors are hardwood. I ordered the biggest mat because my treadmill is commercial size. I know I couldn't help with the carpet part but I hope this helps a little.

The bike I use and recommend is the SUNLITE EXERCISER SUNLT F5 TRAINER. I'm 6' 170 and there is still plenty of adjustments settings if needed.

Maybe a cold gelpak, something that is non-rigid. I don't have the mat with me at the moment, but based on my memory I think you could fit in something malleable that's no higher than 1-2".

I've done it both ways and really a nice thick mat is soooooo much nicer on your joints and less slippery than carpet. I'm older (55) so being nice to my joints makes sense. Mine is about 3/4 inch thick black puzzle mat that I got here on Amazon. I bought two sets and put them together to make a larger area. Well worth the $. The thin yoga mats really only help with the slipping part.
