Is this mat also good for carpet floor?

mats for carpet have studs to grip the carpet. hard floor mats don't. as you know, flat things slide over carpet. if you ever have one foot on the carpet and one on the mat, there is a chance you could slip and smack your head on your desk or chair. it's up to you, but that hospital bill will cost more then your $10 savings.

It should work ok. If you don't have a carpet in your gym, I would suggest you go for a thicker mat. I have a treadmill mounted on it. So it works fine for me.

The mat stays good on a hard floor, like in a gym. Have not tried on hardwood. The mat gets slippy when you sweat during the excercise. I like the size, but it could have more grip on its surface.

I have not tried it on that type of flooring. I use it on carpet and it works great. I wouldn't suggest it though being that the wheel is plastic it may slip and you could injure yourself or ruin your floor. As well I would suggest just buying an area rug and use that. The product is worth the investment if your willing to do the work.

I have not used it on carpet. However, it does have an attachment for carpet use.

It could be used on carpet its heavy but it may not be stable enough that the train won't tip but it's a great mat

This mat will stay put on carpeting, there is a strip of velcro. Place velcro side down, plus it is a heavy mat gym quality.

Works perfect on carpet. Does not slide around at all. I bought this mat to protect my carpet when I work out. The mat does have a strong rubber smell when new, but the smell goes away in a few weeks.

Yes, I think so. I like this mat so much that I bought a second one. Excellent surface for games.

No. The tiles of this mat will come apart under the pressure of your hands and whatnot and especially on the soft surface of carpet. Keep seeking stickier and thicker yoga mats.

I haven't tried it on carpeted floor, but I believe it would be effective in this case. However, an all-rubber traditional door stop might be more effective for this particular use case.

I'm sorry I am not sure as to what the thickness a carpet style mat is...the best I think I could answer you is that I believe it may be a bit thinner, but it is not too thin...a decent thickness...no spikes. It has a smooth side and then the other side a little rough. Hopefully that makes sense. We have it on a wood floor and it has worked well for us...we have two.

The mat works fine for me over a more-or-less standard apartment quality fluffy rug. It does not slide as the hard mats tend to do (and costs less) and when I lift it to clean, the carpet below seems untouched after being vacuumed - in fact, it will eventually show how bad the rest of the rug may need to be cleaned. The plastic knobs on the underside grip the fluffy carpets without any aparent damage.

I honestly cannot say for sure since I use my mat in my office setting and it is on top of carpet. I have used other mats on my kitchen floor; however, where the floor was washed and it did not seem to affect the mat in any way. I really don't think it will affect this mat either since it is a sturdy rubber back. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. It's probably the best mats you can buy short of true gymnastic mats. I've used them for years in both a small membership gym and one of my personal training studios.

i would say no to carpet, it is very low profile, works great on my hardwood floor.....

Yes. A mat helps reduce the number of carpet fibers that can find their way into and severely damage the treadmill's mechanical and electrical systems.
