THAILE Non-Slip Treadmill Mat 61x172 cm Walking Pad Mat | Non-Slip

What are the exact dimensions and will this fit under my treadmill?

The mat measures 172cm long, 61cm wide and 0.4cm thick. This size works well for most compact treadmills, walking pads and exercise bikes. That said, measure your equipment before buying. Several buyers mentioned the mat was too narrow or short for larger treadmills, so check both the length and width of your machine's footprint first. THAILE also sells this mat in other sizes including 79x39cm, 120x60cm, 130x70cm and 180x75cm, so if 172x61cm doesn't suit your equipment there are alternatives.

What material is the mat made from and how durable is it?

It's made from high-density Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). This material gives the mat good cushioning and durability under heavy fitness equipment. One reviewer who used it under a bike and indoor trainer said it handled hard training efforts without sliding or breaking down. The mat is also tear-resistant and stain resistant, so it holds up against repeated use and accidental scuffs from equipment feet or wheels.

Is the mat actually waterproof and sweatproof?

Yes. THAILE states the mat is 100% waterproof, which stops sweat and water droplets soaking into carpet or hardwood floors underneath. You simply wipe the surface with a towel or damp cloth to clean off sweat after a workout. One reviewer confirmed this, noting that sweat, belt lubricant and water droplets wiped straight off without soaking into the carpet below.

How do I clean and care for the mat?

Care instructions state hand wash only. A damp cloth with warm water and mild detergent is enough for regular cleaning. One reviewer cleaned theirs this way and let it air dry fully before putting it back into use. Avoid machine washing since the PVC material and embossed surface pattern could be damaged by a washing machine's spin cycle.

Does this mat actually reduce noise and vibration from my treadmill?

Multiple reviewers confirmed this. The high-density PVC absorbs vibration from foot strikes and motor hum, which reduces the thud transferring through to the floor below. One reviewer running a walking pad in an upstairs room said the mat prevented vibration travelling through the whole house. Another said their treadmill stopped creeping across the carpet and became noticeably quieter during use. This noise and vibration reduction also helps protect your fitness equipment from wear over time.

Can I use this mat for anything other than a treadmill?

Yes. Buyers have used it under exercise bikes, indoor trainers, walking pads and even as a standalone yoga or aerobic training mat. One reviewer used it under a Wahoo KICKR bike trainer in their garage and found it gave good grip and stability during intense efforts without sliding on the garage floor. Another used it to protect flooring under a washing machine, noting it stopped the machine moving around and reduced noise slightly. It's a flexible protective mat rather than something limited to just treadmills.

How compact does it fold for storage and is it easy to move around?

The mat folds down to just 25cm x 31cm x 10cm, small enough to fit in a cabinet or even a backpack. This is a genuine benefit if you have limited space at home, since you can put it away after each session rather than leaving it out permanently. Reviewers described it as lightweight and easy to handle, fold and store compared with heavier gym mats. One user said the lighter weight made it simple to move and fold away when not needed, without sacrificing grip or stability during use.

Does the non-slip treadmill mat actually stay in place during use?

Most reviewers say yes. The underside has a textured non-slip surface that grips the floor, whether that's carpet or hardwood. One buyer noted their treadmill stopped creeping along the carpet even under heavy daily use. Another using it under a bike trainer said it gave confidence during hard efforts because the mat didn't slide or shift. A small number of reviewers mentioned equipment still moved slightly on certain flooring types, so results can vary depending on your floor surface and how heavy your equipment is. Overall though, feedback on grip was mostly positive across the 871 customer reviews, which average 4.5 out of 5 stars.
