The texture on these mats is intended for safety. Functionally, a texture or ribbing should keep the mat from slipping on the floor and your feet from slipping on the mat (assuming it is textured on both sides). If a mat fails to meet a solid standard of slip resistance then it opens the window for accidents when exercising that could be avoided. First, it will help protect your floor from scratches and scuffs. Second, it will absorb some of the noise from the bike, making it less disruptive to others in your home.

Concentration is one of the hallmarks of a thorough workout.

The reason for that is because it is a bike trainer mat, not a spin bike mat. I tested each mat for their waterproofing and absorbency, how comfortable they feel, and how securely they stayed beneath heavy weight on a hardwood floor. This involved me laying each mat side by side and standing on each to determine which materials felt soft versus firm, and which felt comfortable and durable. I also put each mat down on hardwood floors and weighted each down at four points similar to the base of the Peloton, and then attempted to move the mat to determine its nonslip score. I factored in whether it had nonslip surfaces on both sides of the mat, as well. Lastly I put a few drops of water on each mat to see how well it absorbed over the course of 30 minutes. What are the dimensions of the Peloton Bike and the Peloton Bike+?

With either type of bike mat material, you’ll often see a pattern that helps with gripping so the machine doesn’t slide around. Dimensions: The mat should be big enough to cover the size of your stationary bike but it should be able to fit in your home gym space. If you are looking for a multi-function large size mat that can be used to place below a stationary bike or an elliptical machine, then look no further than the ProSource spin bike mat.
