I paid a lot more $ for my Peloton bike mat, and my cat absolutely shredded it. I was the one who was supposed to be getting shredded!?The thickness and puncture possibility of the Peloton mat are both too high - it’s the perfect cat scratcher. I had little black pieces of it all over my apartment, it looked terrible, and it trapped hair and dust in all the chunks he kindly removed for me.I got this mat to replace it, and he hasn’t touched it. Well, his ever-flowing bounty of fur hair touches it, but it is super easy to vacuum, sweep, or brush off. This mat is a lot thinner than the Peloton mat, but it’s perfect for people with cats equipped with annihilation paws. Just make sure your equipment is level since this doesn’t drown out the sound of my less than elegant in and out of the saddle moves as well as the thicker mat. No complaints from my downstairs neighbor though!I’m really happy with the purchase. My cat, not so much, but he’s dealing.
