Default Treadmill Mat Recommendations?

What's the surface you'll be putting it on?
Carpet? (what type?) Tile? Wood?
That can make a difference in what will work for you.

I have a treadmill on a mat I bought at the equipment store at the same
time. The underlying surface is plush-ish carpet w/ padding underneath,
on a concrete floor. I have an armcycle machine (Schwinn) on a mat I
bought at the home store, pretty thin -- just something between the
machine & the carpet. I don't know anything about the technical specs of
either mat.

I have a Nordictrack Elite XT treadmill on order, probably fairly
heavy as those things go, and I was wondering if anyone would care to
suggest what sort of Treadmill Mat to purchase to put under it? Seems
to be a fair number of them out there, ranging from 0.2" to 3/8"
thick, some open cell, closed cell, and solid vinyl. Brands from
Ironman to Supermat to CAP to Apache to Treadmill Docter, etc. But I
cannot seem to find too much in the way of reviews of the various
ones, hard to tell what to buy.

Thanks.
