how thin are they? I plan on putting in my basement as others. Can I put carpet padding under them to make it a little softer?

they are not thin. They lay flat without any tape at all. I don't know about adding padding because it may not lay flat, but you could try.

They're about 1/4" thick. We didn't do carpet padding underneath but I think as long as the padding is tacked down well you shouldn't have any problems with it.

they are a 1/4" thick don't think you can put padding under them to much movement the squares would not stay in place

Padding would not allow the tiles to lay on the floor correctly. I put them on my basement floor and they work great! They have a thick rubber back and stay in place.

They would be good for basement carpet, the backing is a vinyl-ish material that looks resistant to water and the carpet is very low pile. They are somewhere around 1/4" thick. Not sure about the padding.

They are thin and I'm sure you can put padding under them. I considered it but decided not to do that since it wasn't that important to me. I love the carpet tiles...very satisfied with my purchase.

That depends on what you mean by uneven. Ours are laid over our basement floor which is a fairly rough floor. Also our floor is slightly crowned in the middle and these are just fine. However, if you have big lumps sticking up more than a quarter of an inch I would say that these won't work. They have a very tough industrial rubber backing on them and so they don't bend easily.

According to the We Sell Mats website (wesellmats.com), they are 3/8" thick. Most others I see are 5/8" so I'm wondering if these are thick enough to provide good padding for a baby, particularly over a very hard tile floor. Any opinions on that?

Sorry, but not sure what you are concerned about with using them in a basement in the winter. As for the sound, they are noisey but not blast your ears out noisey. Hope that helps :)

I WOULD advise getting a pad of some sort. We have them in our break room and they are starting to mark the floors a bit. They do come with a glide but if you have a floor you want to preserve..get pads.

They are on my sofa right now and I can't get underneath the sofa feet to measure them but am guessing a little less than 1/4" thick by looking at them. They work great! I have tile floors and my other sectional use to slide all over the place. Then I purchased a new sectional, put these on and it doesn't budge. Also, you can cut them into any shape/size with a razor blade or exacto knife.

They about 1/2 thick and they don't raise the furniture. I use to protect the carpet.

Mine measure at .5" thick. We use ours over a hardwood floor in a 10' by 12' area. It's been great! We have young children in our home and have used different brand mats in the past and these are by far the most resilient. They are also a great cushion for when we want to stretch out or exercise. I imagine they would do very well in a tent with a sturdy canvas type floor. I know someone who has used them for that purpose and under their air mattress, as well. They were pleased. I would caution against getting them wet. A little moisture is easy to clean up but you wouldn't want any type of foam flooring to get soaked.

The thicker the carpet the more weight I'd want. Even on concrete I like 25lbs for light weights. The closer I get to 200lbs I want 25's and 45's both on the base minimum.

They are somewhat thin. I would guess that they are less than 1/4 " thick (but durable).

Its not very thick. more like a throw blanket thickness. So we use it on top of carpet or gym mats. too thin to use on floor on its own.

they have a rubber pad on the bottom. you could also add a felt pad to be safe.

They are squared and don't sit completely flat I suggest not putting it on hard floor it will scratch them and slide ask alot perfect on carpet though

I think traditional padding would prove better than this felt. Depending on the flooring underneath the rug, this felt and the plastic backing might prove too slippery.

My office is carpeted with thin industrial carpeting with 3/8" padding beneath, and we have not had any problems with the tables staying up.

You will definitely need padding underneath. The bottom of this is similar in thickness to a blanket, not very cushiony. We use this on our area rug in our living room with hardwood floors, which is ok. But if I were you I would put an extra thick blanket underneath.

I'd say it would work just fine as long as the carpet and pad aren't real thick. If so, then I'd suggest using something thicker and more rigid underneath.
