If the mat is on top of wall-to-wall carpet, will it move around or stay in place when you exercise on it?

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.

Might depend on the floor surface, but the mat has small suction cups (each a bit over a half inch across) all over the back, one every inch or inch and a half. Stays in place, but we hang it up to dry out after use.

This mat will stay put on carpeting, there is a strip of velcro. Place velcro side down, plus it is a heavy mat gym quality.

My mat slides a little, but the chair still stays on it and it doesn't go far, so have not worried about it. Maybe double sided tape in corners?

Yes, it does. What I did to minimize the movement was put down the large square rubber mats (looks like a puzzle). On carpet it may not move as much as hard wood floors (which is what I have). It also depends on how hard you hit it. I hit hard so when it moves left, I move behind it and hit it back to where it originally was. I made it a part of my workout since I kick box there is a lot of movement. It definitely is worth getting though, very good quality.

I have this mat on a wood floor. It is connected to a second mat. They do not slip. They are heavy. Those using it are 70 a 165. They do dance and gymnastics in it. One mat is not enough to cover what they like to do.

It's pretty thin, but the top is crinkled, so less slippery than carpet. Your weight would push whatever touches the floor down into the mat--so it might actually be worth a try.

I use a mat, not the Concept one but the puzzle piece kind, so I'm not 100% sure it that would be fine. My guess would be that it would be, however my only concern would be the sweat... 30min/day is going to produce a lot of sweat, are you going to be ok with it falling on your carpet?

The mat does NOT slip! My daughter does back handsprings and tucks on this mat and it doesn't move. We even have it laying on carpet. There is velcro holding it in place and it stays put!

If it's on carpet you'll be just fine! Jumping is part of DDR, and spinning, jumping while you spin... Never had the mat fly out from under me! The cheap mats with no foam will do that. These mats (I've owned five now, different platforms) are fantastic

I too have the rubber tray on top of the carpet. I have not had any issues with my organizer sliding around. It is well worth the money.

The mat stays good on a hard floor, like in a gym. Have not tried on hardwood. The mat gets slippy when you sweat during the excercise. I like the size, but it could have more grip on its surface.

I have not used it in that way, but would suspect that it might be a problem with some sliding. The bottom surface of the mat is very smooth and I can slide my exercise cycle around on the carpet by grabbing the edges of the mat. A concrete surface might give it more stability, but with the jumping I think it might slide.

Yes and no. depends on how well the carpet was installed. I have my unit on a carpet, first spot I put it on caused it to have a bad tilt and was a little wobbly if you bumped it but I have since moved it to a better spot and it fits snug with the wall and does move at all.

It stays pretty much in place, there is a slight amount of slide, not like the one i had before,it was all over the place. I am quite pleased with this mat.

Everything on top moves as things normally move. The desk pad slips around a little but I have my desk up against a wall so it pretty much stays in place. I've heard you can make it stick better by whipping a damp cloth over the desk and then putting on the pad. Besides that, unless your the type to lean your whole body and Swype across, the pad won't move; it doesn't move very easily. My desk is a pressed wood with painted matte finish which can be slippery as you can imagine.

I don't know if I understand your question. I purchased a gym mat and placed the treadmill on top of it. I have an impression that I could just have placed the treadmill directly on my carpet and that it would work fine. Please elaborate further if you'd like more help.
