They show a mat being used under this. Is that neccesary? I plan to use it on wood floor but if that is a problem can also use on carpet.

The bottom of the pit is very thin. I have mine on wood floor but it is more comfortable on carpet.

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.

The mat stays good on a hard floor, like in a gym. Have not tried on hardwood. The mat gets slippy when you sweat during the excercise. I like the size, but it could have more grip on its surface.

I have this mat on a wood floor. It is connected to a second mat. They do not slip. They are heavy. Those using it are 70 a 165. They do dance and gymnastics in it. One mat is not enough to cover what they like to do.

I have mine in my garage so I honestly could not be sure about it sliding on the carpet. But having said that, I would be concerned about the fine black "dirt" that comes off the mat. I am still trying to figure out what that is, and surely would not want that on my carpet. The makers of this mat are probably not happy about my "dirt" comments but I would love it if they could tell how to make this go away.

Yes! For extra cushion I also used the rug I had in the living room and placed it underneath the mat in his playing area. But as soon as they become more mobile they will crawl around the house and the hard floors are not a problem for them as I found out. Since I still think it must be uncomfortable, I just had him wearing pants all the time. So although the mat is great, they won't need it for very long.

This is the size of the mat. I put it on a wooden floor, and it slips and slides. My wife suggested that I put a rug underneath to prevent the slipping. I have not done that at this time.

No, it is not recommended to be placed directly on carpet or wood floors. What we have done (we have wood floors) is just bought two 12 x 12 porcelain/ceramic tiles to put underneath it. This product works very well - always use shoes, slippers or socks or your feet will be too hot!

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.

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.

kinda depends on type of flooring underneath. I started with it directly on hardwood, and it really wasn't too bad, but decided to add the big yoga mat for underlayment which made a top notch combo.

No - It's not like the mat you put under the chair by your computer...its WAY thinner. Ours keeps getting crumpled up when we move the chair around so its not my favorite purchase. However, for the price it does the job of protecting the carpet. I don't try my vacuum over it as I'm sure it would try suck up the edges - I just shake off crumbs and/or wipe it down with a cloth.

This is pretty thin, so I if there are any lumps or bumps under it you would notices. So I wouldn't put it on a thick carpet, I would recommend using this on short carpet or tile/wood floor.

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!

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.

Hi! We have wooden floors but we used it a bit on carpet, it was easy to use. Its a great walker and the tray is very helpful.

Personally, I'd put another mat or a rug beneath it. It has a decent pad if it's placed on a carpeted surface, but I'd be a little nervous putting it on a hardwood floor. Otherwise, I loved this play yard. :)
