Yes, you should. There are mainly three reasons. First, a great mat for treadmill for home will protect both your floor and treadmill, and it can also reduce noise and vibration while shielding the treadmill from dirt and dust. Without doubt, no matter how often you clean the carpet or floor, there is always dust on it. Walking and running can disturb these particles, which will then float into the treadmill and damage the belt, rollers, and motor—that’s why a mat protects the treadmill so well.
Second, a mat also protects the carpet greatly. As we all know, placing a hard object on the carpet (just like a couch or a bed) will leave indentations, but with a mat, things change: your workouts won’t affect the carpet at all.
Third, if you have deep-pile carpet at home, a mat can flatten the fluff and ensure good ventilation around the treadmill. This is quite important for preventing the treadmill motor from overheating and prolonging its service life.
Considering these three aspects, you should put a mat under the treadmill.
