Treadmill Floor Mat Cost
There are three things that determine the cost of a treadmill floor mat. The size, thickness, and material affect the quality of support your treadmill will thank you for and for the slow people, a mat that is larger, thicker, and composed of better material will cost you more.
The size of the mat is important for obvious reasons; it needs to be wide and tall enough to accommodate your machine with a little give on the edges. While the most standard size of a treadmill mat is 6.5 ft x 3 ft, if you paid $2000 or more for your treadmill, chances are you will need a larger than standard sized mat to fit under the treadmill adequately.
The standard thickness is a quarter inch and is enough to absorb the vibration and shock of your pound pounding on most treadmills at 5:30am while your wife is trying to sleep. A standard sized 6.5 ft x 3 ft treadmill mat of 1/4in thickness will average $35 to $50. Add approximately $10 for a 3/8inch thick mat.
I know of some people who have tried those interlocking rubber tiles and it seems to work as well but not on a consistent basis. A tile sized 28.5″x28.5″x3/8″ I’ve seen go for $17.99 per tile meaning to get the same coverage as a standard sized treadmill mat would end up costing you almost twice the price. Just invest $50 dollars in something you spent hundreds even thousands on. You get more life out of your treadmill with a treadmill floor mat and that will let you put more mileage on your own knees.
