Are these mats appropriate to be used over carpet?

They probably can be used over very low pile carpet such as indoor/outdoor. I use mine over a ceramic tile floor, which I'm sure is the intended use. You just want to make sure that your footing is steady, and the rubber tiles don't shift.

I would not attempt them over carpet. They are likely to shift on you and could cause some serious injuries. Or some laughs. But why risk it

I would think it's alright, but I'm sure you're going to compress the carpet a little.I would think a simple vaccum afterwards should puff the carpet back up. As a previous person wrote, you might have the mat slide a little, but that would be the only thing to watch out for.

We haven't had a problem doing so. It works as a yoga mat for us over our carpeted media room.

I'm using them in that manner. The equipment , BowFlex, sits very level on these pads over carpet. Hope that helps.

Yes, I think they would work on top of carpet. If you were to jump on them or exercise, they may shift a bit because they won't be able to grip the floor, but if that's not an issue for you, then it should work. Our issue was just that they didn't stay locked together when used for exercising.

I would say they are generally intended to be used on a hard surface floor where they would grip better. If putting over carpet they might tend to shift due to the nap of the carpet in the way an area rug does.

I'm not 100% sure. I use it over a hardwood floor and have yet to ding the wood/slip so it might be OK? However, tile is more brittle and slippery so it's hard to say. You could always put down one of those sticky mats underneath that is meant to keep area rugs on slippery surfaces if it doesn't stay in place.

Yes, we often use them on a carpet. Sometimes it might be necessary to stack them, but they work fine.

Yes the are very sturdy on carpets! I use the on the beds and to raise up the sofas in the living room. I have had no problems thus far. I love them.

Yes; more precisely, I use a padded mat under the Rugbuddy, then on top I have another carpet, over the feet of some tables/sofas rest (pressing on the Rugbuddy). So far so good, after 3 weeks of usage. The instructions specify to avoid large area objects lying on top of the rug - presumably to avoid heat build-up.

I have my mat in my kitchen over hardwood floor and have had no issues with any damage to the flooring. It is a high quality mat.

No, I don't see why they would have to be used. They come in a baggie and you have to screw them in as part of the assembly so you can just skip that step. Keep in mind though, you will have the bottom part of the metal posts sitting on the floor/carpeting. If it is carpet then it doesn't matter, but if it is bare floor then it is sure to scratch your flooring.

Well, we use them on both carpet and wood flooring. But the carpet is not a real plush/fluffy kind of carpet. Probably would make a difference. = }

of course, there is no reason not to. as i have advised before, this is the perfect mat for all floor exercises but not standing balance exercises because the thickness does not allow you to get a firm grip or foot grasp of the floor. I ALWAYS USE IT ON A CARPET.

I'm perfectly satisfied with the mats. They go high enough to cover most of the foot rest area and have protected the carpet in our vehicle.

I don't think so.. The carpet still too hard, yet, I would recommend to use a yoga mat..

Yes, these are designed to fit where the stock carpet mats sit, through the same eye-loops etc. They are easy to remove though. The floor carpet remains.

They would be good for basement carpet, the backing is a vinyl-ish material that looks resistant to water and the carpet is very low pile. They are somewhere around 1/4" thick. Not sure about the padding.

Yes,I am using them on carpeted floors now. You may wish to achor them to your wall for safety. Good solid consruction for this price level

You would not necessarily need a mat unless you plan on sweating a lot then you may want that on the mat and not the carpet:)

Rubber versus what? Yes, they are a sturdy rubber mat. I've been very pleased with them. Easy to vacuum and clean when necessary vs. carpet.

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.
