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.

I'd say it would work just fine as long as the carpet and pad aren't real thick. If so, then I'd suggest using something thicker and more rigid underneath.

I would not put them over the carpet floor mats. I took out the carpet floor mats. They fit Toyota Prius C great!

The mats hold up very well. I keep my mats outside under the porch to protect the kids from falls on our concreted area. I would not use anything too strong to clean these mats with, as this may break down the material that they are made of. With that said, I give them a good wiping with anti-bacterial wipes and they seem to hold up very well. I am very pleased with these mats and they provide a level of cushioning that puts my mind at ease. I hope this helps!

No, use hard sliders (Like these) to slide over a soft surface like carpet. Use soft or felt sliders to slide over hard surfaces.

Rubber versus what? Yes, they are a sturdy rubber mat. I've been very pleased with them. Easy to vacuum and clean when necessary vs. carpet.

They would be good for basement carpet, the backing is a vinyl-ish material that looks resistant to water and the carpet is very low pile. They are somewhere around 1/4" thick. Not sure about the padding.

I'm not 100% sure. I use it over a hardwood floor and have yet to ding the wood/slip so it might be OK? However, tile is more brittle and slippery so it's hard to say. You could always put down one of those sticky mats underneath that is meant to keep area rugs on slippery surfaces if it doesn't stay in place.

I do not know anything about Jiu Jitsu or wrestling so cannot answer if the mats are suitable for those activities. I have the mat over cement on my basement floor and it works very well for aerobics, yoga as well as stretching and strength exercises

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.

You probably could but I wouldn't expect them to stay in place. Like the other post mentioned it would be unsafe to do this on the driver's mat. These rubber mats are an exact fit so the carpet mats should be removed first for best results.

I don't think so. You should have no problems with the long side of the mats

No. The tiles of this mat will come apart under the pressure of your hands and whatnot and especially on the soft surface of carpet. Keep seeking stickier and thicker yoga mats.

Not really. These are meant for temporary use to move furniture. They're not designed to protect carpet. These would be noticeable and ugly because they're too big. They have curved white plastic bottoms about 1/4" thick with about 3/8" black foam glued on top. The furniture sits in the foam to keep it from moving on the pads.

From my experience I would not advise these for carpet. The adhesive never really sets so the pads can shift, exposing the carpet to potential damage.

Probably not. The mats I got are very good, thick mats. I do not think they would fit over your current mats, but they are great mats!!!

It seems to me that this is a question for the manufacturer from a durability and longevity perspective (and what they warranty). However, from a materials standpoint if you are using them for a work out it may not be thick enough to absorb lots if bouncing shock. They are about 1 inch thick perfect for a wood floor or over carpet. Also, I would suggest picking them up after use because they are not designed as a long term walking surface.
