I plan to use this 30 mins daily on thick carpet and put it away after each use. Do I need a mat?

You would not necessarily need a mat unless you plan on sweating a lot then you may want that on the mat and not the carpet:)

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.

No, you will not need a mat. I have mine on thin carpet and have no issues.

I use a mat, not the Concept one but the puzzle piece kind, so I'm not 100% sure it that would be fine. My guess would be that it would be, however my only concern would be the sweat... 30min/day is going to produce a lot of sweat, are you going to be ok with it falling on your carpet?

The mat has some cushion but it is not nearly as thick as a playmat. I would use it on hard wood floors if I was with my baby the whole time to prevent any bumps. Hope this helps!

You will need some type of strap to keep it rolled up. The mat is not hard to roll up. It arrives rolled up.

I have one under mine but mine is on laminate flooring. If it were on carpeting, I would put something. I put 2 rubber mats, one under front and one under back.

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'm not a fan of it for plush carpets since it's a soft plastic; chairs leave large dents in it, making it hard to move around on if you have a chair with wheels. On my plush carpet, the chair moves around better without the mat. The mat does protect the chair wheels from getting string and lint on the axels however.

I use this puzzle mat in combination with a no skid under-carpet mat. If you just use the puzzle mat on its own it will still slip around. The mat is mostly useful for its padding. It's pretty thick.

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.

It's very thin, so I think you'd be better off with a mat, as well. Plus, without the cushion of a mat underneath, you might feel the grippy dots on the underside of the towel.

Absolutely. I find it more useful compare to yoga mats, which are usually narrower and thinner. The top surface of the mats are slightly corrugated so it is not slippery when you do workouts. It is both firm and cushioning. I built an area about 6'x10'. They can be quickly put away in less than two minutes.

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

Certainly. I do it all the time. You will need to flour it, of course. I make bread weekly, and I like this mat because it makes for easy clean up. After my bread is done, I just shake the floor off (I go outside and shake it onto the grass, good fertilizer) and wash the mat off. Same thing for rolling pie crust.

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.

No mat required, just only to contain drops. Mat does not hold it in place, rack is self limiting. (takes up very littl space under sink)

It's not necessary for carpet protection really but it is important part of protecting your treadmill. I was told that not using it could cause dust buildup and static from the carpet causing the motor to short circuit/burn out or something along those lines.

No, we have wooden floor and its quiet/stable enough not to need a mat, esp if you have carpet.

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.
