They give you a choice between two thicknesses. I got the thickest one because we have tile floors as well. It is very nice. My daughter loves it and I also have bad knees and it is quite comfortable to me.

It's definitely thick enough. Based on my research it was twice the thickness of the cheaper flimsy ones. I think it was 1.5cm. If you search deeper into reviews you will find it. We are very happy with it and got it for the same reason.

Maybe a half of an inch. I have hardwood all through the house and where I have heard a few "thumps" followed by crying, but my son has not hurt himself falling. I personally love this mat.

The material is way better than those classic children mats. To me the thickness is just about right and it's enough to protect my baby from bang or fall on it. I am really in love with it myself as I play on it with my baby for most of the time...have fun!

Yes we too have a tiled floor and we live in new england and it gets really cold...The one we bought was 1.5cm thick and it cost $90....however now when i click on the link, the mat's thickness is showing to be Regular 1cm and it is costing $70. So maybe they dont have the thick ones anymore or it could be a typo. Check with the seller before you buy this. I can also tell you that my friends have the regular thickness ones, but theirs are much heavy close 15Lbs. So we had 2 reasons to buy the 1.5cm thickness one. Also the colors are very vibrant and till date i keep finding a new item on it now and then. Hope that helps...

This mat is 1 cm thick. If you are planning on using this mat as a baby knee protector, or any other parts of the body, I would recommend you buying the 1.5 cm thickness version of this. If you still don't feel safe with your baby using this, just buy a rather thick one from another company! Happy shopping! =]

This mat is for a carpet area, not hardwood floors. It has feet on the bottom to grip the carpet.

I have mine on a 1/2 Inch thick rubber mat and it is fine. The problem I have with the unit is that it sways and wobbles a bit so I secured mine to the wall studs with some sturdy hardware and brackets. It would sway on cement as well before I set the rubber mat under it. The only problem I see is that your carpet would be crushed where it sits (it has 4 rubber feet) when you decide to move it.

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.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

The mat has velcro around perimeter that could be used for some traction if the floor was carpeted enough to adhere. Mat would slip across wood floor without something holding it in place. Hope this helps.

Yes, the mat will slip on tile. We use those rubber shelf liners under the mat to keep it from sliding. Our daughter tumbles on it daily and it has made it much softer. We have never bought a mat where this did not happen.

This mat provides better cushion than a standard yoga mat for abs but is firm. I use it on hard tile floors and it is fine. In response to the other answer about yoga I use it for yoga x all the time I find it less slippery than my yoga mat.

My treadmill is on the 2nd floor on bamboo. The mat has helped with vibrations & noise from my running. My husband has commented that it is quieter downstairs than when it was just on the bare floor. If I was buying a second one I would get the thicker mat.

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. This is a very cheaply made mat. I received it in about 3 weeks after ordering. It was shipped directly from china. It is already torn in a place. I ended up buying the Baby Care Play Mat - Genius Bear - which is excellent for the hardwood floors. There is ample cushion for the hard floors.

I have my mat in my kitchen over hardwood floor and have had no issues with any damage to the flooring. It is a high quality mat.

I'm sorry, I didn't understand this question was to me. It's not too thick; it's a mat with music in each key. My son is 15, and he tells me he enjoys quick stepping back n' forth on it. And, I believe its best for indoor play.

I don't know the answer to this question. I love this tile mate we use it when our 9 month grandson visit, since we have hard floor those tiles come so handy for the baby to play & crawl on cushion safe floor!

Hi there! Thanks for the question - This mat is just shy of 3/4" thick. I hope that helps and thank you very much for checking us out!!

Hello,we Have hardwood floor and found it to be just fine in protecting our son from some of his falls. He has taken some pretty bad spills on this mat and has basically dusted himself off and kept going. Our son has used this since he was about 7 months old and is now 13months old. Now that he walks it's obviously harder to keep him on the mat but that's not really the mats fault! :) hope that helps.
