Are these mats appropriate to be used over carpet?

They probably can be used over very low pile carpet such as indoor/outdoor. I use mine over a ceramic tile floor, which I'm sure is the intended use. You just want to make sure that your footing is steady, and the rubber tiles don't shift.

I would not attempt them over carpet. They are likely to shift on you and could cause some serious injuries. Or some laughs. But why risk it

I would think it's alright, but I'm sure you're going to compress the carpet a little.I would think a simple vaccum afterwards should puff the carpet back up. As a previous person wrote, you might have the mat slide a little, but that would be the only thing to watch out for.

We haven't had a problem doing so. It works as a yoga mat for us over our carpeted media room.

I'm using them in that manner. The equipment , BowFlex, sits very level on these pads over carpet. Hope that helps.

Yes, I think they would work on top of carpet. If you were to jump on them or exercise, they may shift a bit because they won't be able to grip the floor, but if that's not an issue for you, then it should work. Our issue was just that they didn't stay locked together when used for exercising.

I would say they are generally intended to be used on a hard surface floor where they would grip better. If putting over carpet they might tend to shift due to the nap of the carpet in the way an area rug does.

Short answer is I'm not sure. I have mine on carpet over wood flooring, and it is just fine.

I'm perfectly satisfied with the mats. They go high enough to cover most of the foot rest area and have protected the carpet in our vehicle.

These will move your furniture over carpet easily. They will probably work fine on tile, but not so well over concrete floors. One underneath each corner will be smoother. Two on a side will mean you have to tack it back on forth like a sailboat.

I use a mat, not the Concept one but the puzzle piece kind, so I'm not 100% sure it that would be fine. My guess would be that it would be, however my only concern would be the sweat... 30min/day is going to produce a lot of sweat, are you going to be ok with it falling on your carpet?

Yes, they are stable enough to be on carpet. I bought white ones, they are great except get dirty really quickly and hard to clean.

My husband uses them on the carpet, but I bet they would be fine on the bare floor. There aren't any holes to hook them on to the hook mounted in the floor. These mats are so thick snd sturdy the don't move at all, hubby just loves them.

I am sure hosing them off would suffice for your intended use. We have 3 mats and use them inside at door areas. We are very satisfied with their performance .

I took off my carpet mats and replaced them with these. The front mats may not lay well, or at all, if you leave the carpet mats in place. However in the back I'm sure you could leave the original carpet mats but I removed them. Why not just take them away?

No, I don't see why they would have to be used. They come in a baggie and you have to screw them in as part of the assembly so you can just skip that step. Keep in mind though, you will have the bottom part of the metal posts sitting on the floor/carpeting. If it is carpet then it doesn't matter, but if it is bare floor then it is sure to scratch your flooring.

Yes they are great mats, if they get really wet they may become slippery, but not just from sweat.

Yes they will work off carpet but not as well, I keep a few weights on the mat to keep it from moving, the bottom of the pad is smooth and can cause slipping, but better on carpet than on a smooth surface

We have it over carpet. Seems to work OK. I don't know what the carpet will look like when we remove the pads.

Yes. A mat helps reduce the number of carpet fibers that can find their way into and severely damage the treadmill's mechanical and electrical systems.

Yes. Thick, quality rubber mats. Air out outside for a week first if possible.

I would think so...because the mats are small enough fit in just about any floor area.

I dont think they will fit if you do not remove the carpeted mats. They really do protect the carpeting from weather. I would recommend them They are black
