A question of margins: How far beyond the length and width of the treadmill should a mat extend?

That's totally personal preference. Ours is about 3 inches longer on each end and about 2 inches wider on the sides.

We use the mat to protect the floor, so I think as long as the whole treadmill fits on the mat, you should be ok.

I suppose the mat could be rolled up to allow for the shorter length, but it would be quite difficult (my opinion) to fashion it around a step. This would be a tripping hazard due to the thickness of the mat.

I would put a treadmill mat underneath it, and use it where you want. Try not to workout at 2am, but that's apartment life. The deliverer left it on my front porch. I used a dolly to get it in the house. It wasn't a big deal, but with steps, you will need help. ENJOY IT. I used it in my office at work, and now I have one at home.

More space. I use both the ladder and the mat. I don't have room for both so I use only the mat during vertical plyo. Plus I home school my son and we use insanity and asylum for gym class so there is 2 of us needing the floor space.

Less than half an inch is a pretty safe bet. Some seem to be able to do farther than half an inch

The thickness of the mat is 2.5 millimeters. Now I measured the mat NOT including the extended length of the prongs that stick out from underneath the mat to grip the carpet. The wheels on my desk chair are 2 inches wide - I weigh almost 300 lbs and this mat does not even have any indentations when I scoot across it with my chair. Other people have complained that every week or so they may have to move the mat because it shifts a little from the original position. I have not noticed this. I think the size of your desk chair wheel has to be considered as well. Obviously the wider it is the better it will displace weight on the surface of the mat thus limiting any indentations. I love this mat and would recommend it to everyone. The fact that I weigh so much and it with stands that is amazing!! Hope this helped.

when the treadmill arrives, you can get it through a 29inch doorway. Once it has been put together, you will have a difficult time fitting it through the doorway. It is 37 inch wide.

I bought a GSC Expando Folding Exercise Mat, Blue. It is 2 feet x 6 feet x ~2 inches thick when unfolded. Folded, it is roughly 2 feet x 2 feet x 6 or 7 inches. I like the mat fine but wish it was bigger. It's kind of marginal for me.

That would be an interesting addition. If you are considering the Varidesk single (which I love) the the answer is it depends on how tall you are. There are 11 height settings with the Varidesk. The tallest setting(which I use) does overhang the edge of the desk by a few inches. I would suspect this might be the setting you would want anyway given the extra height of the treadmill (assuming you're going to use a standard height for a desk). The arms of the Varidesk unit swing up from the back so the lower settings are further back on the desk. Hope that helps.

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.

I recommend the one that I purchased, which is slightly thicker. I'm assuming that it's slightly heavier and will not move on the carpet. Most treadmill manufactures do recommend a treadmill mat. I am very happy with this purchase, and have been using it for 3 months now without any issues.

Do you want the measurement with the plate extended or without extending it?

I have never stored my treadmill upright, but it looks like it would be about 73 inches long by 30 inches wide by around 7 or 8 inches. The last measurement that is unsure due to it being in the "in use" position. I hope that helps.

Sounds like you are about the height of the woman in the picture of the treadmill. It was recommended by a man who was about 5'11 and was a personal trainer. It should be fine. I used it because it fit under my stand-up desk. I still use it there.If I had it to do over again I would look for one with a small footprint, like this, but with padding in the platform. It has worked fine for a few years now. We had to adjust the belt a couple of times because it would get off center and rub against the side making noxious smells of burning tread. But once we adjusted it was fine.

I have the 4mm mat under my treadmill and it's fine. I've had it for a year and it looks as good as the day I got it. I have it over carpet. It does have a fairly strong rubber smell at first but that doesn't last.

You may have to physically blow some additional air into the valve to fully inflate - and thus fully extend - the mat.Only complaint I have with mat is I'm a 'side sleeper' and the 2" thickness is still not enough to avoid pressure points at hip and shoulder. (Adult male, 5'9", 195#.... Maye the 195# thing is more of the issue!!)

I am recovering from a lower back injury so i don't stretch to the maximum, i'm probably using it like a person of short stature would. I can't say so for a really tall person. I do really love this mat :)
