Bottom Line

This segmented mat will fold to fit individual pieces of equipment, from long treadmills to short vertical steppers.

We especially like this textured mat's easy maintenance requirements; just a spot wipe with soap and water will keep it clean.

Cons

Noticeable chemical odor. Does not lie flat; tends to curl or bunch.

Bottom Line

The width may be a little narrow for some equipment, but this mat offers great noise and vibration suppression for apartment dwellers.

Pros

Dampens vibrations and equipment noise very well. Protects both flooring and equipment. Works as a personal exercise mat. Heavy-duty vinyl construction. Minimal chemical odor.

Cons

Overall durability is a common complaint. Too soft to protect flooring from heavier equipment.

Bottom Line

For those who seek maximum noise and vibration reduction, this heavy-duty contender is definitely one to consider.

Pros

Heavy-duty PVC construction. Will not bleed on carpeting. Noticeable vibration and noise reduction. Indentations recover quickly between uses. Non-slip surface. Good for personal exercise/yoga use as well.

Cons

Requires a degassing period. Better for lighter workout routines, not heavy equipment.
