After searching the forum in getting ideas when it comes to floor mats, I came up with this idea.
I got an oversize (32" wide) yoga mat and trimmed it. It wanted to curl up, so I used some double-sided tape to hold down the edges in various places. All it took was one.
I did this for two reasons....give my feet some cushion, and also to help deaden the sound. I also went this route cause because I can remove them and clean them easily. And it was cheap, only $38 (bought on Amazon). Although they come in different colors, I went black...they do have a pattern to them.
Here is the link for the mat -
