I have always had carpet in the room I had my treadmill in. About 1 month ago we redid all of our floors to laminate flooring. All of the sudden I noticed how loud my treadmill had because. It rattled and echoed and I hated it. I finally decided to buy a mat to go under it to see if it would help. This mat appears thin but it does the job. It rolls out very easy and stayed in place until I got my treadmill on it. The only issue I had was when I was moving my treadmill back into place, it bunched up just a tad. However, I am a 27 year old female who was doing this by myself. If I had help I could have moved the treadmill, set the mat down, and placed the treadmill on the mat all at once. I however had to lift the front end and place it on the mat, then do the same with the back end and adjust the treadmill slowly until it was straight. With this being said even with me placing the treadmill on the mat in that manner, the mat did not rip or have any issues like I read in reviews of other mats. I immediately got onto my treadmill to see what it sounded like. It was completely back to how it sounded when I had carpet. Granted, there is still obviously noise and my treadmill is still a little loud, but no more echo and no more rattling. I think its just enough cushion to make it not wobble on my hard floors. The mat was JUST long enough for my treadmill. (3 inches overhang on the front, 1 on the side from the legs)
