Will this work well on carpet? For a really heavy treadmill?

Perhaps if you don't plan to move it. I bought 2 sets with the idea of being able to roll the treadmill around on them easier than directly on the carpet. They fell apart immediately when I tried to move the treadmill on them. They didn't work at all!

Hi Cynthia: If your carpet is thin this would probably work okay. It is flexible (it comes either rolled up or folded over) and is very good on hard floors. It would not be good on plush carpet

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

I have used it only on solid floors. I just tested it on my carpets, two different types, did not work. Weights would not even register.

This is a clamp-on mechanism that only clamps to a horizontal surface. So it would work if the treadmill has a good surface that is about 2-1/2" wide. Due to the vibration of the treadmill, I would suggest putting a rubber pad under it, like maybe a piece of mouse pad, to dampen vibration and keep it from shaking loose.

I don't believe so. My treadmill is on a carpet, but I decided to use the mat anyway just to avoid the possibility of static electricity or grease leaks from oiling the belt, and things like that. For the price of the mat I figure it's cheap protection for the carpet, plus, if I ever move it to a uncarpeted floor, I already have the mat. Hope this helps.

I used it on carpet during the time that I had one, it worked well enough although I believe a firm surface would probably have resulted in smoother movement in the horizontal sliding direction. I think it worked about as expected but just wasn't for me.

Although not ideal it works. I have mine on carpet, and it works just as well. If you are concerned you could place a large piece of plywood down underneath.

Mine works fine on carpet. Put something heavy of the bottom shelf and you should be ok. And I place my things toward the center of each shelf. Looks really good.

I haven't tried it on a carpet. Sorry can't help with that one. I think it is probably worth a try though!

The thicker one is great under my very heavy treadmill and although it's on low pile carpet, I think that it cuts down on wobble.

I think it would work on a hard floor with furniture on it, but you might get some shifting around over the top of carpeting.

Oh yeah it should be fine for just pushups ^ . It didn't move on the floor at all for me, on carpet and wood.

(Only) When you and the treadmill are *NOT* moving - then: Yes, there should be no problem setting this on the belt of a (non-moving) treadmill. The bottom is rubber, and should not slip.

I have it on carpet and it wobbles a little but on a hard surface I don't think it will wobble at all.

I am not sure of the problem you are describing. If your treadmill is moving quite vigorously because the floor is incredibly uneven, such that moving the arms back and forth causes the machine to move side to side or front to back, then I am not sure this mat will solve the problem. If the problem is merely that the machine is slipping to and fro on the floor (such as because the floor is slanted one way or is incredibly slick), then I think the mat would solve that problem.

When you raise the desk, it moves toward you a few inches. I don't use it with a treadmill. I think you're asking if it will do that, and so the answer is a conditional yes. I'm out of town now so I can't be more definitive. If you can wait until Friday, I'll give you more detail.
