I use a 5mm gym equipment mat (york fitness) on the carpet. Other than a bit of a depression where the feet meet the floor, seems to have kept the carpet fairly healthy. What is worrying is how clean the carpet under the mat seems compared to the rest thats not protected...
I also had a Cycleops one which was thinner/stiffer (4mm), which seemed to bunch up/warp as the turbo moved about a bit.
I've used interlocking gym tiles, but I found that they didn't really sit flush, and would lift up. I didn't think of putting a mat on top though.
At some point, I'm going to getting something like this, a seamless rubber 'pad'

I just use a cheap thin rug, I'm not worried about vibration or noise with my turbo so it's more about protecting the carpet from any chain oil and sweat.

New home, new setup, softer carpet.
What do people use on their soft carpet flooring? Wouldn't want to remove it if possible.
I was thinking of building off a little patch/corner of the room with 2cm thick gym tiles, then use a mat on top for the sweat.
Any first hand experience/solutions?
