A question of margins: How far beyond the length and width of the treadmill should a mat extend?

That's totally personal preference. Ours is about 3 inches longer on each end and about 2 inches wider on the sides.

We use the mat to protect the floor, so I think as long as the whole treadmill fits on the mat, you should be ok.

It will move around and can bunch up a little. I'd recommend getting some double-sided carpet tape to hold it in place. So far though, I've only put the tape on the piece of matting I have under my treadmill, but that is working out great.

I don't believe so. My treadmill is on a carpet, but I decided to use the mat anyway just to avoid the possibility of static electricity or grease leaks from oiling the belt, and things like that. For the price of the mat I figure it's cheap protection for the carpet, plus, if I ever move it to a uncarpeted floor, I already have the mat. Hope this helps.

Width would be good; lenght shoul also be fine but may not go all the way to the floor.

The treadmill is 70" long but the legs of the desk extend another 2-3" in front of it. The treadmill itself is 27" wide and the width with the desk legs straddling it is 36" wide. The the desk top is 46" wide so you need to have space for that. I have the unit sitting on a 36" x 78" mat. BTW, there is not much assembly to do done. It's really setting the desktop onto the legs and the rolling the treadmill over these knobs of sort on the inside of the desk legs so that the treadmill doesn't move.

I use two yoga mats and it was not large enough too fit them both so I returned it. I didnt thnk it was large enough.

Yes. A mat helps reduce the number of carpet fibers that can find their way into and severely damage the treadmill's mechanical and electrical systems.

The adjustable desk is a little on the short side. At it's full extension, it can work for me, but only if I'm barefoot. I am approximately 5-7. A treadmill would need a taller platform, and I'm not sure you'd want to prop this up on something else. It's not particularly sturdy.

Less than half an inch is a pretty safe bet. Some seem to be able to do farther than half an inch

I bought a GSC Expando Folding Exercise Mat, Blue. It is 2 feet x 6 feet x ~2 inches thick when unfolded. Folded, it is roughly 2 feet x 2 feet x 6 or 7 inches. I like the mat fine but wish it was bigger. It's kind of marginal for me.

Yes, you should have plenty of space, I am able to stay on an exercise mat I've laid on floor when I do the 10 minute trainer.

I don't know. A gift for our granddaughter so I don't have it here. It was long enough to do a cartwheel - see the feet and hand imprints on mat and it is thick enough to be used without getting hurt. I saw them use it and it looked fine to me. Hope that helps.

That would be an interesting addition. If you are considering the Varidesk single (which I love) the the answer is it depends on how tall you are. There are 11 height settings with the Varidesk. The tallest setting(which I use) does overhang the edge of the desk by a few inches. I would suspect this might be the setting you would want anyway given the extra height of the treadmill (assuming you're going to use a standard height for a desk). The arms of the Varidesk unit swing up from the back so the lower settings are further back on the desk. Hope that helps.

The thickness of the mat is 2.5 millimeters. Now I measured the mat NOT including the extended length of the prongs that stick out from underneath the mat to grip the carpet. The wheels on my desk chair are 2 inches wide - I weigh almost 300 lbs and this mat does not even have any indentations when I scoot across it with my chair. Other people have complained that every week or so they may have to move the mat because it shifts a little from the original position. I have not noticed this. I think the size of your desk chair wheel has to be considered as well. Obviously the wider it is the better it will displace weight on the surface of the mat thus limiting any indentations. I love this mat and would recommend it to everyone. The fact that I weigh so much and it with stands that is amazing!! Hope this helped.

Yes. As noted by others, the back of the treadmill platform folds up and foward between the handlebars where it locks in place with the pin that is barely visible on the left handle support in the picture. When folded up, the footprint is 28 inches wide (not counting a half inch cap that sticks out on either side) and 23 1/2 inches deep.

I am recovering from a lower back injury so i don't stretch to the maximum, i'm probably using it like a person of short stature would. I can't say so for a really tall person. I do really love this mat :)

I just measured this morning! Mine is almost 13 inches at the base. It's adjustable, I think I can extend a couple of more inches more at the most, but I was afraid to adjust it because my t.v. is on it, etc. I have a very small space too, between my treadmill and the wall - that's why this stand is perfect!!! I have a 19" t.v. on it if that helps. It's so much better than drilling holes into a wall and mounting a t.v. on the wall!!! I can send you a picture if that helps - let me know!!!
