Is the mat really necessary if the room is carpeted

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.

Yes! For extra cushion I also used the rug I had in the living room and placed it underneath the mat in his playing area. But as soon as they become more mobile they will crawl around the house and the hard floors are not a problem for them as I found out. Since I still think it must be uncomfortable, I just had him wearing pants all the time. So although the mat is great, they won't need it for very long.

These are simply accessory floor mats made to protect the full carpet. If you mean do you have to remove the carpeted floor mats then yes, it's recommended to do so, yes. But not the entire floor carpet, no.

I think that it would stain the carpet. When I kneel on the mat or do push ups my knees and hands get dirty. Overall it is a good mat though.

No and it requires a little effort to move if it's placed on a rug or thick carpet.

Better to be on carpet, otherwise you may scratch the flooring (also, carpet is softer in case the user falls).

My Venza doesn't have carpeting either. The "rubberized" texture of the mat means that it will not slide and that nothing on it will slide.

No, we put ours in a carpeted room and have had no problems. My little grandson loves it!

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.

I have my rower on carpeting and do have it on a mat. There are raised rubber pieces on the rails and I think that would be sufficient for you. It is extremely easy to move if you would decide to use a mat at a later date.

While I can't answer your question definitively, I can say that mine is on a low nap textured carpet and I'm glad I bought the mat. I don't think that it would be as solid without it.

Yes. I have carpet throughout my whole apartment and I use it in a couple of different rooms. Its lightweight enough to roll it from room to room.

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.

Yes, it does. What I did to minimize the movement was put down the large square rubber mats (looks like a puzzle). On carpet it may not move as much as hard wood floors (which is what I have). It also depends on how hard you hit it. I hit hard so when it moves left, I move behind it and hit it back to where it originally was. I made it a part of my workout since I kick box there is a lot of movement. It definitely is worth getting though, very good quality.

No if you are using the canned foam. I vacuum my rug before cleaning, then scrub in the foam as directed and let dry. After your rug is dry vacuum again and you're finished. I did find that the foam had a strong odor so you may wish to have good ventilation while using.

No. There is absolutely no need to cut the carpet. Why would you think that? The product is a rubber mat you lay down over the carpet.

No. When I received it, the box clearly said it was not for carpeted floors. I find it very deceiving that this is not included in the description.
