Is this treadmill mat safe for carpets? I'm concerned that it may stain my light colored carpet.

We have had the mat on our tan carpet for a year now and the carpet under the mat is not stained at all. We love the mat.

I don't know the answer to this question. I have the mat on a travertine floor. I have not seen any color transfer to anything else even when the mat has gotten wet but I don't know.

I put an old sheet underneath it just incase that happened. I have light carpet too. So far the sheet has protected.

I have light colored carpet as well and recently moved my treadmill and there was no problem with the mat bleeding color on my carpet. I had it in the first location for about eight months and use my treadmill daily, hope this helped you. Happy Running :)

I don't know if I understand your question. I purchased a gym mat and placed the treadmill on top of it. I have an impression that I could just have placed the treadmill directly on my carpet and that it would work fine. Please elaborate further if you'd like more help.

Works perfect on carpet. Does not slide around at all. I bought this mat to protect my carpet when I work out. The mat does have a strong rubber smell when new, but the smell goes away in a few weeks.

I'm sorry, but I don't know that. All of the paths my mom uses it for are carpeted. I would imagine if it's dragged across a floor rather than the walker lifted a little ahead of them, it might leave marks.

I have very light beige carpet and I have had no issues with it staining at all. I hope this helps.

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?

Not sure what you mean by "staining". We use it on a light colored carpet with no concerns.

I have the brown one & have not seen any staining on my floor. I have a light colored tile.

Our Barracuda exercise mat works well on most carpets. It may shift a bit depending on the thickness and shine/gloss of the carpet, but so far most people have found that it works well on carpet. Thanks for your interest in our product:)

This mat is a very, very thick rubber and from 1st use my hands and soles of shoes were definitely black. To resolve, i water hosed it down outside and sun dried. This took a lot of the black rubber remains away. I would definitely not use it on white carpet, unless you had another layer of protection.

Hello MR, I use the mat in a home office with carpet and an adjustable keyboard that goes from sit to stand. The mat works perfectly on carpet, although it may shift slightly over time. This will depend on the type of carpet and really thick or shaggy carpet may add to the level of shifting. However, I do not believe this is a safety hazard and I have certainly not experienced any level of shifting that would cause a concern. I use the mat for more than 12 hours a day on carpet and no concerns. Obviously, you know the rule about chairs on the mat. :) However, since you mentioned sit to stand,. I have been using an exercise ball so I do not have to move the mat when I do want to sit down. Yes, it may sound crazy, but an exercise ball can make a nice alternative chair. :) I hope that helps. I really like this mat and find it more than comfortable for long periods of standing. I will tell you that it takes a couple days for the matt to lay flat once you take it from the box. Also, I wanted to point out that for a while the mats were being shipped with the incorrect warranty card. So, if the box says 10-year warranty and the card says seven, hang on to the card and the label from the box. I informed the company of this issue and they were working with their partner to correct the issue.

I did without incident.. in fact I now have it on a carpet rug on carpet since I am in a rental with nice carpet... but even direct on carpet I had no issues... it does mention in the instructions to put a mat under it on carpet incase of leaving marks from the motor... but has never been an issue for me and I have both the red and the black model.

I don't see why it couldn't be used on a carpeted floor. The mat is large and insulated enough that it shouldn't cause damage to the carpet. I would check while you are using it on the carpeted floor that the heat from the iron doesn't go through the mat and damage the carpet. Also it the iron was on a high setting and were to get of the edge of the mat, it could melt or fuse your carpet quickly.

The color of the backing is almost the same as the mat itself. I'm using mine on light creme color tiles in the kitchen, I've yet to see any stains around or underneath the mat. I love this product and it makes a huge difference on my back after standing for too long.

I have low-cut carpet so it works well on that. I feel it works best on non-carpet surfaces (hard wood for me). Even on low-cut carpet you can it is not as solid when on hard flooring. I don't think it's a deal breaker if you have carpet - in fact, I think it would make the workout even more challenging. Hope this helps. (BTW - not as easy as it looks. Good machine.)

We use the mat to protect the floor, so I think as long as the whole treadmill fits on the mat, you should be ok.

You might want to consider getting at least a throw rug to put directly on your hardwood floor and then put the mat on the rug. That way no moisture would get under the mat to damage your floor. The mat also help to lessen the sound of my treadmill, and I'm really glad I have it. If you had to move your treadmill, having the rug under the mat would make it very easy to slide it on your floor. Hope this helps.
