is this mat the same thickness as a carpet style mat only without the spikes?

Yes, I would guess the thickens is the same but the spikes are missing off the back. I am very pleased with the mat and it is working very well to protect my hardwood floors.

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.

Yes, also keep in mind that it takes a few days for the mat to settle down after being rolled up in the box because the plastic is pretty thick.

If the mat isn't the same thickness it's awfully close. Mine is doing it's job on the hardwood floor.

My mat is thin and perfect for my hardwood floor. I'm very happy with the product. I've had Sam for a month or so and it fully protects my flooring.

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.

It's about 1/2 inch. And not a soft mushy foam inside either. It's denser. I have 2 of these types of mats now and it's made a world of difference to stand on these instead of the floor or those mushy foam mats.

I don't know for sure but is it very similar to the material used in the Gel Pro mats fro the kitchen. It is smooth, lays flat, about 3/8" thick and it stays in position. I like it

The backs are about as thick as the mat. I have used 50 of these and am very pleased.

It's not carpet.. atleast not any I've ever felt. It's very silky to the touch. Super soft but slick. There is zero padding though so while it's silky you can feel the board underneath it. Regular carpet would have been a better option. And also.. this is NOT for a full grown cat. It's barely big enough for a kitten.

I don't know that it would be thick enough? It's only about 1/8"-1/4" thick and it's flimsy. It's great for under exercise equipment on carpet. A great comparison would be to an exercise mat. I'd look for thicker a mat, more industrial.

If you are putting this on a tough surface (cement, woods, etc.) then you might want something to thicken the mat. If you are going on carpet (which I do), you will be okay. I like that it isn't clunky.

No, you will not need a mat. I have mine on thin carpet and have no issues.

The mat part isn't very thick, about 1/2 inch. The top cover is slightly thicker/plush at 1 inch. If putting on carpeted floor it wood be okay as my kids haven't complained (only used for short sleeping times) but a hardwood or laminate would be pretty uncomfortable.

Yes this mat is thick enough that it will not bunch up during intense work on it.

We roll our's up, but it's been used VERY infrequently because the spikes are more like needles and extremely uncomfortable. I do not recommend buying this mat.

Yes, the mat in this picture is exactly the same one. Love, love the mat. Hope this helps you out.

Standard carpeting with standard padding, yes, because the base is so heavy. There is a very slight tilt that is not really noticeable, but it might be worse if you had thicker carpet and/or padding.

It's one of the thicker ones, I'm not sure of the measurement - I thought that was in the specs - but it's very resilient, your feet don't sink to the floor like they would with a kitchen mat. I take my shoes off and stand all day, use the shoes only when I leave my office, and it's really comfortable.

The mat adheres flat to shower floor with suction cups.Guess-timate maybe 1/4" thick. Edges of mat taper off flat so as one doesn't trip. It's more a cushioned feeling underfoot, not a thick raised cushion. Hope this helps.

It is thin, approximately 1/8 of an inch . Hope this helps. My wife likes this mat as she user the Wii because carpet too thick for Wii platform.
