I live in an old apartment and was wondering if you could install carpet over this using carpet tiles? does the mat roll out flat or does it curl up?

Mine rolled out flat and has stayed flat. If yours doesn't then just flip it over so the curled side is face down. I don't see any reason why you couldn't install carpet tiles on top of this.

I have a high pile shag area rug in the playroom. It does roll over it but it's a little harder to maneuver. I'm sure it would work fine on a short pile rug or carpet.

Yes. It is solid, but flexible to roll up. We have our eliptical bike on it and it works great on our carpet.

I have a area rug, it roll fine between the hard wood floors onto the rug and on the rug. I recommend it.

I've done it both ways and really a nice thick mat is soooooo much nicer on your joints and less slippery than carpet. I'm older (55) so being nice to my joints makes sense. Mine is about 3/4 inch thick black puzzle mat that I got here on Amazon. I bought two sets and put them together to make a larger area. Well worth the $. The thin yoga mats really only help with the slipping part.

It's great on carpet. My studio apt was carpeted throughout and I had absolutely no problems.

I bought the carpeted version, but it's only designed for a small area, like an entranceway. I think your size project needs a professional, buried installation. I don't believe this would work very safely on an uneven surface and you would create as many problems as you would solve.

It was rolled up and yes it did curl up..but after sometime it did and still does lay flat. Can't remember how long it took tho as I've had it for so long. I think we even tried laying it flat with weights/books etc and tried curling it in the other direction. I don't use it anymore but it does stay stored flat..lol It's now for sale but served it purpose :-)

We do not have ours on a mat. It sits on outdoor carpeting with no padding. We like it just fine that way, and feel that padding might be excessive.

I received mine rolled. I was rather surprised, as I thought it would be thick enough to rule out being rolled. Sadly, it's thinner than I thought and the castors on my chair make seemingly, permanent divots in thetop. It's difficult to roll my chair up and out of those divots. My chair pretty much stays in the same placeall the time. The only good the mat does is to protect the carpet underneath and to catch dropped items.

No, it came rolled and never did become flat before I returned it. It was totally unsuitable for use on my medium deep pile carpet.

Hi. I think it is designed for a flat, smooth surface. Carpet tends to be uneven, regardless of the type, especially when someone steps on it. But I have not tried it on carpet, so perhaps it can serve your purpose. The squares are pretty secure when connected, so you may give it a shot, but I don't think they will stay put.

I had the same situation. On half of it I used 2-sided carpet tape and nothing on the other half. After 4 months I can't tell any difference. The occasional tile (fewer than 10%) in both sections didn't seem to lay perfectly flat so I put two widths of tape underneath them and solve the problem. These tiles are perfect for a basement.

Hi Pam-Anela,My Boyfriend assembled this in thier living room, which they have a hardwood floor and I don't see any problem afterwards. It rolls smoothly, easy to moves and impressive quality.

Its too thick to roll up like a yoga mat. it was shipped to me flat in a box. if you can lay it flat in your suitcase that would be best. But there are other mats that work just as well and are not so thick that they stick up and cause tripping if not careful.

We dont roll our around too much but when we do the wheels hold up fine. We keep ours in the master bedroom which is carpeted. The wheel seem to do fine with the carpet. They even have two wheels with locks on them to keep it from rolling around. I liked mine so much that I bought my fiance one and it has really helped our laundry hamper situation.

I echo Alan's response. It's pretty thick (which is a good thing for a mat like this) so you won't be able to roll it up tightly.
