Is the mat cushioned enough to put it directly on the floor or should it be placed on carpet? My house is all wood floor.

It could be used on a wood floor, but it's not SUPER cushioned. I generally use it on a rug - although you could easily place a blanket or towel underneath it if you needed extra padding.

I think it is padded enough- all my floors are wood as well. My 4 month old has begun to roll and squirm beyond the mat though, so now I put a large old quilt under so he's not kicking and playing on the hard wood

It is not cushioned enough. That is we don't feel it is. We also have wood floors with area rugs which is what we laid this on.

Sorry I don't have carpet at home due to allergy.I think it is better to use on hardwood floor.

Yes the mat will stick well to the floor, it's not sticky on top, but with multiple uses, once it is broken in it will develop traction:)

I have hard wood floors and I lie the baby on it and it doesnt seem to bother her. About the thickness of the mat its not like a gym pad. Its more like a bed comforter thickness.

You can but if you do I would put it in an old sheet or some kind of cover in between it and the couch. All my floors are carpet and I have noticed were I put it for my mal to lay on it leaves a dark spot after a while. carpet no big deal it comes up after a good scrub with my spot shampooer but a couch I would be a little more hesitant to leave the mat on it. So I'd say sure go ahead but put a sheet or cover of some kind under it.

While I can't answer your question definitively, I can say that mine is on a low nap textured carpet and I'm glad I bought the mat. I don't think that it would be as solid without it.

I honestly cannot say for sure since I use my mat in my office setting and it is on top of carpet. I have used other mats on my kitchen floor; however, where the floor was washed and it did not seem to affect the mat in any way. I really don't think it will affect this mat either since it is a sturdy rubber back. Hope this helps.

Even though the mat rolls up to store, it flattens out pretty quickly. When placed on a sturdy surface, it stays flat. My son has used the mat on the carpet and it is still pretty sturdy. I don't think I would use it on anything softer without support underneath, though.

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

I keep mine in the living room, which is carpeted. My 52 pound dog lays on it just fine.

Absolutely that's where I use mine. Your choice of footwear will make a difference. Something without too much tread. I am thinking of buying a large floor mat like you'd use under the chair of a large desk but it isn't a deal breaker if your only option is to use it on carpeting.

I just feel it mostly in my feet, best to set it on carpet. You can lay down and put you leg on it for leg Massage.

Mine is on tile floor. Depending on the thickness & pile of the rug, it may wobble somewhat.

Actually I am also that it might harm the wood floor, so I use it on carpet. I must say that it is slippery so my remedy has been to put a rubber daisy (you know that you use to open jars) it fits right on the base and it keeps it from sliding around and I can still balance on it. I got it to improve my balance and I don't want to slip off of it. So that is my solution to the slipperiness.

Mine is on a tile floor. I do not think carpet would be bad but, if i were to put it on carpet I would go to Home Depot and get 4 tiles to place it on.Hope this helps.

You could put it on a table. Since you want as much air flow as possible, I wouldn't put it on carpet.

Yes, I have it on a wood floor supporting a heavier than normal door leading to my garage. It has a thin rubber base on bottom to protect my wood floor, or any surface. I would think it would be even better on carpet. Due to the weight of my door (metal interior fire door) the door stop does slide on my wood floor at times so I have to readjust it to keep the door propped open for my kitties.
