When my cat scratched up my Peloton bike mat, I figured it wouldn't make much of a difference if I just got rid of it entirely. Boy was I wrong — between the cycling shoes making scuff marks on the floor, my gross sweat forming a slippery puddle around me, and worse, the bike wobbling around during high-impact classes, it became obvious to me why a bike mat is one of the most important Peloton accessories.
Whether you need to replace the one your cat has destroyed, or you've come to the realisation that your rides would feel a lot more comfortable with some extra padding underneath your bike, here are 10 of the best mats perfectly suited for the Peloton.
1 Peloton Bike Mat
The heavy duty gym-quality material makes the official Peloton Bike Mat ($59) a trustworthy investment, and it can be purchased on its own, or in a set of other bike accessories.
2 Velotowel VeloMat
If you tend to sweat a ton during your rides, the Velotowel VeloMat ($45) is exactly what you need. It's designed to absorb sweat as you work out, and it's machine washable for easy clean-up.
3 CyclingDeal Bike Trainer Floor Mat
For Peloton riders who have cats that like to scratch or dogs that like to dig, this high-density CyclingDeal Bike Trainer Floor Mat ($73, originally $99) is sure to withstand the nails of any hyperactive pet, and the PVC vinyl should last for years to come.
4 Sunny Health and Fitness Exercise Equipment Mat
Made with sweat-resistant foam, the Sunny Health and Fitness Exercise Equipment Mat ($34, originally $49) is ideal for anyone living in an upper level apartment. The material helps curb the vibration and noise produced by the bike, all while protecting your floor from damage.
5 Velotas Pro Series Personal Fitness Equipment Mat
If you usually roll your Peloton out of the way or into a closet after a ride, you might opt for this convenient Velotas Pro Series Personal Fitness Equipment Mat ($40). It's lightweight yet durable, and will lay completely flat no matter how long it's been rolled up and stowed away.
6 BalanceFrom GoFit Exercise Bike Equipment Mat
Pelotons are notoriously wobbly on carpets, but this BalanceFrom GoFit Exercise Bike Equipment Mat ($25) is guaranteed to improve stability, even on high pile carpets.
7 Powr Labs Exercise Bike Mat
The rigid, nonslip texture on both the top and bottom makes the Powr Labs Exercise Bike Mat ($43, originally $48) a must for hardwood flooring.
8 Stamina Fold-to-Fit Folding Equipment Mat
If you have a Peloton Tread as well as a Peloton Bike, the Stamina Fold-to-Fit Folding Equipment Mat ($38, originaly $50) is an excellent choice. Divided into seven adjustable segments, the pebbled high-grip surface is designed to withstand the impact from both.
9 MotionTex Exercise Equipment Mat
Not only does the MotionTex Exercise Equipment Mat ($39, originally $50) prevent your Peloton from slipping, the material it's made of contains an antimicrobial agent to prevent harmful microorganisms from growing, keeping your workout space as sanitary as possible.
10 Supermats Heavy Duty Equipment Mat
Simply roll your Peloton out of the way, and the Supermats Heavy Duty Equipment Mat ($28, originally $30) doubles as a yoga mat. But don't be fooled — though this mat is on the thin side, it's also dense, heavy, and you definitely won't have to worry about your bike budging in the middle of a ride.
