Mats & Flooring
Yoga Mats
Yoga mats provide cushioning and grip for yoga, stretching, and bodyweight floor exercises. Standard 4-6mm thickness balances comfort with stability.
Gym Flooring
Rubber gym flooring protects your subfloor from dropped weights, reduces noise, and provides stable footing. Interlocking tiles (15-20mm) are the most popular for home gyms.
Exercise Mats
Exercise mats are thicker than yoga mats (10-15mm+) for better cushioning during ab work, stretching, and floor exercises where knees and elbows contact the ground.

AmazonBuying Guide
For a dedicated gym space, 20mm rubber tiles are the gold standard. They absorb dropped weight impact, reduce noise, and protect your subfloor. Cover at least your rack and lifting area.
Yoga mats (4-6mm) work for stretching and bodyweight exercises. Thicker exercise mats (10-15mm) are better for ab work and floor exercises where comfort matters.
For apartments: a 30mm crash mat under your deadlift area plus 15mm tiles elsewhere provides good protection without excessive thickness.
Budget: yoga mats from 15€, exercise mats from 25€, rubber gym tiles from 5-10€ per square meter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need gym flooring for a home gym?
If you lift weights, yes. Rubber flooring protects your subfloor from dropped weights, reduces noise, and provides better footing. At minimum, place mats under your rack and deadlift area. Full room coverage is ideal but not required.
How thick should gym flooring be?
15-20mm rubber tiles cover most home gym needs. If you do Olympic lifts with drops from overhead, 30mm+ under the lifting area is recommended. For bodyweight and light dumbbell work, 10mm is sufficient.
What is the best yoga mat thickness?
4-6mm is standard for yoga — thick enough for comfort but thin enough for balance. For Pilates and floor exercises where joints contact the ground more, 8-10mm provides extra cushioning.
Can I put gym flooring over carpet?
Not ideal. Carpet creates instability under heavy loads and can trap moisture. If possible, remove carpet from your gym area and lay rubber tiles on the hard floor underneath. If you must use carpet, choose the thinnest, firmest rubber tiles available.
