Can this be used as a kneeler? I kneel down to pray, however, this becomes very painful as my floors are hard tile.

I quess you could use it for a kneeler but I wouldn't recommend this mat for that purpose because even though it has good cushioning the surface has kind of deep grooves all the way across the entire mat and I don't think that would be comfortable on your knees. I would recommend that you try to find a mat with a smooth surface for kneeling.

I wouldn't recommend it because it's textured so it feels rough on skin. But perhaps worse, it's too thin at only 3/8" to provide cushioning for an area as sensitive as the knees. It would be especially stressful if you bow and move during prayer as some Muslims and Buddhist do. I'd recommend something 3/4-1" thick and very firm, like a child's play mat. They are made to cushion falls. You might even consider using a chair pad or sleeping pillow, whether memory foam, regular foam or feather.

My knees hate this desk and I'm only 5'9". I am constantly banging my knees and thighs into the side drawers. I guess it's okay as long as you get up slowly and carefully.

My knees are parallel to the floor when I sit on the bench. The bench is a heavy stable platform. So I would say yes.

Hi there...I use it for running and it's an amazing help. So much so that I bought a second one so I can use them on both knees. However, for squats or deadlifts I think they'd be uncomfortable. But again, I just use them for running so I can't ay for sure.

It won't hurt the floor, but it would be uncomfortable if you walk on the floor in bare feet! Also, I would think the only way to remove it would be to sand/refinish the floor.

I think it would be too powerful for the knees. There are only two speeds and both are quite forceful.

These are a pair of the best fitting and comfortable kneepads I've ever used. As to use on a hardwood floor, I'm not sure but they'd be worth trying. This may sound bad but I'd but these kneepads through Amazon and try them on a piece of your hardwood and if they don't work, return them to Amazon. I use mine outside on the rocks and they give the protection I demand. Another option would be to check out KP Industries for a pair that don't have a plastic shell but lots of rubber/foam to protect your knees. I'm so pleased with my pair, that I recommend you give 'em a try and return 'em if they do not meet your demands. Returns are easy on Amazon. W.

absolutely. I have bad knees as well as neuropathy in both feet. I needed something that kept me from sliding and hurting myself in the shower. We always had problems finding a bathmat that would stick to the shower floor. This one sticks great and I never slip. Hope this helps

hmmmmm.... It might be OK. I don't know if it would wear well if the floor you were using it on had any type of rough surface.

well it certainly gets hot. I don't see why you couldn't put it on your knees. Just put something a little heavy; like a pillow to press the heat on knees. This pad is so much bigger tha sunbeams.

Hi Lynne, parts of the workout are tough o knees, but there are alternative moves that I do instead. The lunges are hard on the knees.

It is not cushioned. It's just a layer of flannel with a waterproof backing. For a quick change outside the home we use this on hard surfaces. I've seen people use this on their beds. I think if you are kneeling on a hard floor it might hurt your knees to change the diaper. Especially the first couple weeks when they poop constantly. Maybe get a little area rug for you and baby? Something thick enough to cushion for you & SO. Or you can use a folded blanket?

If your putting down 3/4" floor, buy a air/mallet nailer. It's easier, uses cleats, and you don't have to kneel down to use it. Also, with the mallet type, the tongue and groove seams will be tighter. This stapler works great for thin floors, my was 3/8" floor with 1 1/4" staples The air/mallet I bought for the 3/4" floor was from Harbor Freight for about $120, it worked flawlessly.

Not real soft, I was getting afraid of slipping on the tile, is why we bought this one. I wouldn't buy it for tender feet.

Depends how tall the desk is for your knees. The problem I had was that it is cheaply made and broke in less than a weeks use.

It certainly could, but because you play this game "running" on your knees, it would probably hurt!

gosh, I would not try this on floor or stairs. I think it would wear through rather fast with constant 'sanding' by the grit from your shoes.
