Works Great for Peloton Bike
By KGonza on Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2020
I bought this mat to put under my Peloton Bike. The size is perfect for my bike and fits my space. I really wanted a 5-ft mat instead of 6 ft or larger because I simply don't have the room for larger mats with other furniture in my room.I have been using the mat for about 1 month and I ride nearly every day. . . so around 30 cycles. The mat still looks new and doesn't have any signs of visible wear/tear. Also, I use the special cycling shoes that clip into the pedals and the mat is holding up to that also. The feet of my stationary bike are not wearing through the mat.The top of the mat is slightly shiny, but also has a texture to it. The rubber feet of my bike do not slip on the mat when riding. I have not had to re-position my bike.I did put a non-stick silicon mat under this particular mat. I did this for two reasons: 1) we just put in brand new ceramic tile in our house and I wanted an extra layer of protection in the floor. I didn't want this mat to stick to the tile and leave a residue over time. I am not sure if it would even do that, but was taking no chances. 2) I wanted to make sure the mat itself would not slip or move on my tile floors when riding. My tile floor has a texture, but the bottom of the mat doesn't have much of a texture at all.The mat itself is as described. The mat is not thick, but it is dense and heavy. I think it is adequately thick for what I am using it for. However, it is under 1/4 inch. It did arrive with a bit of an odor, but after a couple of days airing out and a quick wipe down, it is completely odorless. I have this in a spare bedroom.So far, I am happy with the mat itself and it seems to be wearing very well so far.

Not one-inch thick, maybe not suitable for use on carpet
By What's the frequency, Kenneth? on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020
After reading a lot of horror stories about discolored floors and easy damage to various mats all over Amazon, I decided not to skimp, and got the "commercial grade" mat.Shipping weight was 11.9 pounds, so, it's not quite the 13 pounds stated, but close. It's not one inch thick, either—more like 1/8 inch, as someone else pointed out. Can the vendor please explain the listing? At this point, I'm hoping it is really "commercial grade," and hoping I got the value for my money over and above the mat that was $10 less from the same vendor, with the same dimensions.It rolled out okay. I inverted it and rolled it up for a minute or two to take the curl out, which worked, more or less. After so many assurances by other reviewers that it didn't stain their carpet, I'm giving it a shot. I can tell you right away that when I rolled the exercise bike onto it, the rollers did dig fairly deeply in, but did not leave marks, nor did the fairly small bumpers the bike sits on when in use.I am concerned that this mat will show permanent marks, if not complete damage, after a while. We shall see. I'll set myself a reminder to check back regularly and update the review, and update the ratings. I was forced to put in a rating, so I flat-out guessed based on first impressions.
