Would this work as a non-slip under medium size rugs on a tile floor? Anybody tried it?

I haven't tried it, but I have had the non-slip items that are made for area rugs and this is very similar material, only thinner. My question would be: why not buy the non-slip items made for an area rug, unless you want to attach this under just the corners of the rug??? The material "grabs" and doesn't move, but it is thinner than what they sell to put under area rugs so I don't know how it would hold up under traffic. Hope that helps.

I don't know about a rug on tile. I used them in my tool box to keep my tools from sliding around every time I open and closed the drawers. It stuck to the tools but still slid a lil on the painted drawer surface... ended up putting a little bit of glue down to hold them

Yes, it should work fine. Right now I use it on a rug with another rug on top and that has worked. It will work even better on your bathroom tile.

It is about an inch thick, it has contoured edges, and is non-slip on a ceramic tile floor so I think it would be for a wooden floor.

Yes! It will get stuck. We have the same flooring, nearly all hardwood with Persian rugs. We have found that Neato is fine on rugs with 2-3 " fringe but gets stuck on one with longer fringe. The solution has been to put a virtual wall strip just under the fringe on the rug (which is only on two sides of the rug) and the fringe completely hides the strip. The neato stays away from the fringe and enters and exits the rug from the side instead. This has worked for us. YMMV. But on shorter fringe rugs it does fine.

Mine's on carpet on a basement floor. If you are upstairs from others, whether they will hear you probably has more to do with floor/construction. There are heavy duty no skid rubber feet on all legs that I imagine will absorb most sound and should keep it from moving. If it's a floor that slips (hardwood/tile), I would think a small carpet under it would work as long as the carpet was also rubber backed. BTW, I still use this rebounder four - five days a week and am loving its sturdiness. It still appears brand new. (I mostly use it barefoot, but wear athletic shoes sometimes.)

We use ours against a regular tile floor that is not the "stick on kind," but it works great on the standard tile floor and does not slide. I don't know if it would damage the adhesive of your floor, but it will brace against your type of floor. The device works very well.

I think it will really struggle with rugs. I would spend the extra on a roomba. I had to return one of these because it would struggle switching surfaces.

yes it is thinner than a rug I would definitely believe it will work for you

I would not worry about the floors. Of course it depends on how plush the rug is.

Sure but it wouldn't move at all - you'd have to pick it up to move around. If you tried to slide you may scrape your flooring. You would also be a good 10" shorter.

I imagine it would. It's pretty sticky. You'll need to make sure the underside of the rug is as free from dirt as possible though.

I tried it and ended up tacking it down to keep it in place. Bear in mind there is no hardwood floors under the carpet. Tacked down it works just fine.

Not really. If the pile of the area rug was very low, then maybe. It is really best for hard floors.

We have tight-weave rugs on which it works pretty well. It works better since I discovered there were brakes on 2 of the wheels!

It will not slide well on carpet. But a chair mat as you mentioned should do well. It is a very good chair.

It does slip on tile, my girls start there tumbling off the mat then do the hard tricks on it which sometimes causes the mat to move. However it has not lost its thickness throughout the year of using it.

If you have tile or hardwood floors it doesn't slip! It kind of has a non slip grip at the bottom to help.
