Do you need a treadmill mat for this, and if so, what dimensions?

I actually have rubber flooring in my workout room. Which is fantastic for all equipment and cushions for aerobics. You buy it online and it helps with cushioning and sound proofing.

What desk are you using? Would love to start using one with this treadmill?

This mat is thinner (about 1/4 inch thick) and made from a very tough, denser material which seems to be a cross between plastic and rubber. It is not likely to rip and it would protect the floor beneath the equipment as long as there are no sharp contact points but it would not help with noise reduction. My treadmill took 4 people to move it and I have had the mat for 3 years and there is no sign of wear on it.There are other mats that are an inch or more thick and the rubberized material looks like it is injected with air, like the inside of a Three Musketeer Bar, and that type of mat may muffle noise.

I have no idea as I returned the mat as unsatisfactory and not as described. Amazon should provide the dimensions in the product description.

This is an excellent treadmill and I guess it will absorb motion/sound better than cheap ones, but I suspect it will depend more on your building than on the treadmill. I know you can buy mats to put under them but I have horses and would suggest that you look into what is called a stall mat used for horses. They are much thicker and heavier than mats sold for treadmills and would probably cushion most of the noise. You could try the treadmill and if it is too noisy, then get a really good mat.

Yes, it is suitable for a walking treadmill without arms - such as the Rebel Treadmill 1000 - underneath. The desk is very stable, which makes it ideal for use with a walking treadmill.

You don't use the included resistance band until Beta cycle but i kind of hated the band. I liked using dumbbells way better. In the videos there is only one guy with the resistance band and everyone else is using dumbbells. I think a mat would be good on hard surfaces but probably not that great on carpet. I didn't use one at all.

If you purchase it through the diamondback website they recommend a 84 x 36 x 0.25 mat as an accessory (for $55). You can get one on Amazon with those exact dimensions for $25

There are rubber pads about 2" square at each corner. It would probably be fine on the floor but felt pads would be good too. You may not need the mat unless you are protecting the floor from sweat.

I have the 4mm mat under my treadmill and it's fine. I've had it for a year and it looks as good as the day I got it. I have it over carpet. It does have a fairly strong rubber smell at first but that doesn't last.

The treadmill absolutely will damage your floor/carpet without a mat. It is also somewhat quieter with the mat under it. Carpet can also damage the treadmill with the fibers getting all up in the belts.

The treadmill mat is 15 inches wide, the platform that it moves across is 19 inches wide. The instruction booklet states weight not to exceed 250 pounds. I hope this is of help to you.

What are the dimensions of the mat? Two people have replied with completely different answers! Which is correct?

Absolutely. I find it more useful compare to yoga mats, which are usually narrower and thinner. The top surface of the mats are slightly corrugated so it is not slippery when you do workouts. It is both firm and cushioning. I built an area about 6'x10'. They can be quickly put away in less than two minutes.

I truly do not know. I have never used it without the mat. As my treadmill does not have a motor, the only noise is the belt.

No. This isn't the kind of treadmill you can move in and out of place. It's very heavy.

We have the 4 x 6 2" thick mat (solid purple) under there now. Works fine for front and back hip circles, and mill circles, but she uses the 4 x8 when she is doing everything else.
