Are these mats appropriate to be used over carpet?

They probably can be used over very low pile carpet such as indoor/outdoor. I use mine over a ceramic tile floor, which I'm sure is the intended use. You just want to make sure that your footing is steady, and the rubber tiles don't shift.

I would not attempt them over carpet. They are likely to shift on you and could cause some serious injuries. Or some laughs. But why risk it

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.

We haven't had a problem doing so. It works as a yoga mat for us over our carpeted media room.

I'm using them in that manner. The equipment , BowFlex, sits very level on these pads over carpet. Hope that helps.

Yes, I think they would work on top of carpet. If you were to jump on them or exercise, they may shift a bit because they won't be able to grip the floor, but if that's not an issue for you, then it should work. Our issue was just that they didn't stay locked together when used for exercising.

I would say they are generally intended to be used on a hard surface floor where they would grip better. If putting over carpet they might tend to shift due to the nap of the carpet in the way an area rug does.

I bought them specially for wooden floor and tile because these mats are smooth underneath.They sell others with small 'spikes' under the mat to anchor to the rug. You should look for thekind that is most beneficial to your needs (and I guess these are more economical). Good luck!

Absolutely. My living room has carpet and I have no problem using this kit. I just wear socks instead of sneakers.

Yes, they are stable enough to be on carpet. I bought white ones, they are great except get dirty really quickly and hard to clean.

I would not. These are hard plastic and are mainly for carpets. You could attach some felt pads to make them work on hard surfaces like wood or tile.

I think they could be used on the grass, I havn't yet. I don't think they would slip any more than on the carpet.

It seems to me that this is a question for the manufacturer from a durability and longevity perspective (and what they warranty). However, from a materials standpoint if you are using them for a work out it may not be thick enough to absorb lots if bouncing shock. They are about 1 inch thick perfect for a wood floor or over carpet. Also, I would suggest picking them up after use because they are not designed as a long term walking surface.

Probably not. The mats I got are very good, thick mats. I do not think they would fit over your current mats, but they are great mats!!!

Yes, they are quite heavy and should settle into thicker carpet nicely. If you are worried about divots in the carpet, I would suggest getting some small furniture sliders to put under the feet.

I would think so...because the mats are small enough fit in just about any floor area.

From my experience I would not advise these for carpet. The adhesive never really sets so the pads can shift, exposing the carpet to potential damage.

Yes; more precisely, I use a padded mat under the Rugbuddy, then on top I have another carpet, over the feet of some tables/sofas rest (pressing on the Rugbuddy). So far so good, after 3 weeks of usage. The instructions specify to avoid large area objects lying on top of the rug - presumably to avoid heat build-up.

Yes they are great mats, if they get really wet they may become slippery, but not just from sweat.

Short answer is I'm not sure. I have mine on carpet over wood flooring, and it is just fine.

I've mostlly used them on carpet for exercise...are you talking matts? Or hardwood? They scratch pretty easily, and are much less useful/slick once they have.

I do not know anything about Jiu Jitsu or wrestling so cannot answer if the mats are suitable for those activities. I have the mat over cement on my basement floor and it works very well for aerobics, yoga as well as stretching and strength exercises

No, I don't see why they would have to be used. They come in a baggie and you have to screw them in as part of the assembly so you can just skip that step. Keep in mind though, you will have the bottom part of the metal posts sitting on the floor/carpeting. If it is carpet then it doesn't matter, but if it is bare floor then it is sure to scratch your flooring.
