Any suggestions on a pad to protect the carpet while using the WaterRower Oxbridge Rowing Machine?

I use the rubber pad offered as an accessory when I purchased my rower. It works well.

I can't answer your question, my rower is on a tile floor. I would like to recommend an excellent book about rowing that I found."Row Daily, Breath deeper, Live better, a guide to moderate exercise by D.P.Ordway........ HAPPY ROWING.

I use "Supermats Solid P.V.C. Mat for Rowing Machines (3-Feet x 8.5-Feet)". Bought through Amazon. Perfect fit and very durable.

sorry but i forgot where i bought my pad. I think it was from one of those addendums " people who bought this might be interested in these " . I think it is from the same Oxbridge Company. It is terrific, Thick but easy to roll up. I have a dedicated space so I leave in place and it still looks new. I use it over a wooden floor and it stays in place. best wishes, Doug

We have an elliptical on our mat and it works great, it protects the carpet and prevents slippage.

Yes; more precisely, I use a padded mat under the Rugbuddy, then on top I have another carpet, over the feet of some tables/sofas rest (pressing on the Rugbuddy). So far so good, after 3 weeks of usage. The instructions specify to avoid large area objects lying on top of the rug - presumably to avoid heat build-up.

Just as well as any other brand. Mine is on a berber carpet with pad underneath, and I have never had an issue.

You do not need a mat and it manifestly will not wear your carpet. If you sweat a lot (I do) then put a towel under the monorail to protect the carpet while you work out.

Buy the pad. It's high quality, keeps the machine from moving, and will protect your floors. Very glad I bought it.

I think they do make a pad that slips over the knee area, but if you or someone you know are a little crafty, you could get some seat cusion batting in the craft dept. at Wmrt and make one. Or you could tie a thick towel onto the knee area and try that, it won't look the prettiest but might relieve some of the discomfort. My knee bothered me at first, but now not so much. If you are on it for an extended time, it will get a little uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

The pads Velcro to the bottom of the steamer. I always use the pads on hard floors. There is an attachment for using it padless on carpets, but I have only used it on hardwood/laminate.

I am not having that problem.. Of course mine is on carpet. Maybe you can get those little rubber thingys that holds throw carpets down and put them on the ends of the legs.. might help and you don't lose much if it doesn't.

I have my Sole tread set up on carpet, no issues, but I did put a plastic liner under the tread only to protect the carpet.

Yes it will protect the carpet. I haven't used it for Zumba but I think it would work:) Barracuda Team

Yup. Just got the DC28 Animal and used the 'bare floor' setting on my bamboo floors. it scratched em up real good! Using the machine on the "low carpet" setting seems to be better, but I'm a nervous wreck when I use it.

You can get a mesh or fabric cover for these doors, if I were to want padding on mine I would use a thinner pool noodle cut to fit.

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

Yes, I use it on a water rower. It does not slide as the backside has texture. Compared to the other Skwoosh pad this one is larger and doesn't set into the seat as well plus the other breathes better so it doesn't feel as hot.

I used a water resistant organic wool pad between the mattress and sheet. Works great, especially because the mattress is so lightweight, it's easy to change the sheet.

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.
