I bought this mat to protect my finicky joints. I love it because it’s just a tad springy and heavy enough not to flop around. However, it’s hard to jump fast and do tricks on it so I just go without if that’s what I’m working on. And to be honest, there are some days I just can’t jump because of joint pain. Listen to your body. :)
I have a bike on carpet and it’s completely fine. I bought a rubber mat from amazon to put it on.
Just a treadmill mat I think this one
Maybe try a rubber mat made for exercise equipment? That's what I've done. I've only used it once so far, so I can't comment on its actual durability. But it seems like it will last longer than a yoga mat. Here is the one I'm trying from Amazon. No, it doesn't roll up as small as a yoga mat. But yes, it does roll up.
Here is the one we have and it’s great! BalanceFrom GoFit High Density Treadmill Exercise Bike Equipment Mat https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N808QIH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_PK1H3VT4PSKQSJZ4G3PP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I have this one from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N808QIH/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_CzoQEbR9T1Y0N
Cheap, and large enough to do bodyweight stuff on too. Used it everyday since early march and its perfect.
Yeah I tried a yoga mat at first too and it got destroyed pretty quickly. Here's the one I'm usinggood mat.
Multiple winters of this and nothing else under me with no issue: https://www.amazon.com/BalanceFrom-Density-Treadmill-Exercise-Equipment/dp/B01N808QIH

I use this from amazon. My dog can pee on it and it doesn’t get through!

I have this one— $25 on Amazon and it works great (definitely more durable than a regular yoga mat)

I've had this one for a year, and it's held up well:

I also ordered these towels. I just fold them in half and put them under the bike where 95% of the sweat goes. They've kept the mat from getting white stains from the salt in the sweat.

This is the one I bought and it's worked great.

I got one of these for $22 (seems like it's still that much): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N808QIH/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it has worked very well for 2,876km under a Kickr Snap. Self-heals really well, spilled water/sweat is terribly easy to clean, and the trainer does not move. This is on carpet.
