Some recommend 3/8" for a mat, but that's 9.5mm, roughly 1.5 times thicker than the larger 6mm mat discussed herein. Over-kill? A good idea?

I think it would probably be overkill. This mat is probably twice as thick as the cheap foam mats. The foam mats will get ripped and crushed over time as well.

I got a mat this thin so I could have protection on the carpet below the treadmill but still have room to run in my low ceiling basement. The thin nature of the mat is just fine.

I have the 4mm mat under my treadmill and it's fine. I've had it for a year and it looks as good as the day I got it. I have it over carpet. It does have a fairly strong rubber smell at first but that doesn't last.

yes, no problem. It has to be a relatively small one due to the size of the mats.

5/16" will be a little big- 6.3mm is 1/4". I'd look for the latter, just to be safe.

Sammy I believe that is too thick. Check the manufacturers website but I think they specify 6" +/-

What mat? I only used this product by itself. I had that thing packed to its fullest capacity and it was strapped down perfectly. It did not move an inch, so if you do things very safely and securely, you should not have a problem. Hope this helps.

The mat is very small...I don't even use it. (It's 1ft x 2ft.) I use a real driving range mat I purchased used from a driving range.But the net is excellent...you won't be sorry with this product.

Not a good idea with this mat. It's only about 1/4" thick and is pretty dense, so it doesn't compress much.

Hi Dennis,I read your exchange with Jason on Amazon where he asked about a yoga mat thicker than a quarter inch. I already use a mat a quarter inch thick but sometimes cannot stay in certain poses because of pain of bone seeming to touch the floor. Maybe the mat is too soft, I don't know, or maybe I am just too skinny. I was looking for a thicker than quarter inch but was impressed by your statement that you had looked at this and found thicker than this would be unstable.So what is the "mat pad" to which you refer? Maybe that would be the solution. I could not identify under your products on Amazon what would be.Thanks,Greg Smith Hi Dennis,I read your exchange with Jason on Amazon where he asked about a yoga mat thicker than a quarter inch.

Hey Laurie, depending on the thickness of your mat, you may have some problems. I have a thicker mat and I have to REALLY squeeze it in. I can't imagine anything else going in, much less a block.

2 feet by 2 feet is pretty big for a mat shipped by mail? Take some tape and mark off 6 feet by 4 feet on the ground. Its a good size. I bought 2 packs and it was more than enough. Mats are good quality in my opinion.

Put a rubber mat under this item and it won't slip. Go to amazon.com and search under "rubber mat". There are quite a few to choose from. Size 36"x36" would be just about perfect.

my laptop is 15.7 and it's wider than the chill mat, BUT the mat works so well and the fan is very quiet. I notice that someone else has a loud fan, so I'm not sure what the norm is for them? I'm very happy with it.

This mat is very thick and works great on thick carpet with a 200 pound man in an office chair. Sorry but not able to measure the exact thickness. Would recommend with 5 stars. I don't think you will be disappointed in ordering this mat because it is exceeding out expectations. When you get it just let it have a chance to flatten out overnight in a warm room before using.

The mat is 5mm thick not including the nubs!!! It is an awesome mat very heavy duty and definitely worth the price!!! I strongly recommend it!!!

According to the We Sell Mats website (wesellmats.com), they are 3/8" thick. Most others I see are 5/8" so I'm wondering if these are thick enough to provide good padding for a baby, particularly over a very hard tile floor. Any opinions on that?

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 works the best of any I have ever had and I have been through a good number of them. The best I can measure is 3/16" with a pointed end. It is not so much the length of the spikes, but the fact that the whole bottom is covered with them. It does not move around on top of the carpet. It stays put. Be sure you heed my warning about opening this mat up. Get out of the way or it will get you when it snaps open. Read the warning printed in red on the box. I didn't the first time and wished I had afterwards.
