SuperMat vs Standard Treadmill Mats
The best way to ensure the longest useful life out of any treadmill is by supporting it with a quality treadmill mat. A treadmill floor mat should be used for just about any exercise machine or equipment but a treadmill especially because it creates more vibration that any other machine. The stress of the motor running and the runner pounding away with all their weight will wear down floors and the treadmill itself. That is not to mention to noise generated from all the moving parts. A SuperMat prides itself in differentiating from the rest of the pack by providing a little more quality than your average treadmill mat.
First of all, most treadmill mats come in a standard size that is good for most common home treadmills. For any treadmill owner this is the bare minimum. But some people either want to take it to the next level and provide extra support for their treadmills or simply have non-typical sized piece of equipment. In such cases SuperMat offers floor mats that will fit larger machines. The extra size is also good for normal treadmills since it doesn’t hurt to be larger.
But what really benefits all treadmill sizes is what the SuperMat is made of. Assuming the mat is adequately sized for the machine, the only difference is in the thickness and quality of the material. A SuperMat is made of a highly durable PVC material to take the full beating delivered by the treadmill during a workout session. It also makes the mat very easy to clean with the wipe of a cloth.
Another important aspect that is hard to judge upfront is the compression resistance of the material of the treadmill mat. Poor quality mats will flatten almost as soon as the weight of the treadmill hits it. You will want something that can hold its own against the treadmill over the years.
