How fast do home treadmills go?

Several of the treadmills and walking pads in our range run at 1-6 km/h, which covers a comfortable walk up to a brisk pace. Machines with that speed range are made for walking rather than running. If you plan to jog, check the top speed on the product listing before you order.

Can I use a walking pad under a desk?

Yes. The SPORTNOW folding walking pad in our range is designed for use under a desk. Pair it with a height-adjustable desk and set the desk to suit you standing on the deck, not the floor. Start slowly while you get used to typing as you walk. Our standing desks range has suitable desks.

Do home treadmills fold away?

They do. Every treadmill and walking pad in our current range folds, so it takes up much less floor space between sessions. Walking pads are the slimmest once folded, and some will slide under a bed or sofa. Check the folded size and deck height on the listing if you have a particular storage spot in mind.

Do any home treadmills have an incline?

One does. The SPORTNOW folding treadmill under desk walking pad has an incline setting that tilts the deck to make your walk steeper. The other machines in the range have a flat deck. If you want an incline, filter for that model, and check the listing for how the incline is set.

Where should I put a treadmill at home?

On a hard, level floor, close to a wall socket. Put a mat underneath to protect the floor and reduce vibration, and leave clear space behind the treadmill while it’s running. Plug it straight into the wall rather than using an extension lead, and keep children and pets away from the belt when it’s moving.

How do I look after a home treadmill?

Wipe the deck and frame after each use, and keep the area around the motor free of dust. Check the belt tension and alignment as the manual describes, as a slipping or off-centre belt is the most common problem. Unplug the treadmill when you’re not using it, and store it folded somewhere dry.

Can I buy treadmills from Bossy Cat?

Yes. Our Treadmills range includes HOMCOM and SPORTNOW folding treadmills and walking pads, with LED displays and remote controls on several models. Delivery is free on all orders to UK mainland addresses and arrives in 3-5 working days, with no hidden fees. If you change your mind, you can return your order, but the return postage is paid by you.

Treadmills & Walking Pads

A treadmill at home means you can walk whatever the weather, early in the morning, late at night, or while you’re on a work call. The hard part is usually finding the space, and that’s where a folding treadmill or walking pad comes in.

Our range is built around compact, folding machines for home use from HOMCOM and SPORTNOW. Several run at speeds of 1-6 km/h, which covers a steady walking pace. Most come with an LED display showing your session, and many have a remote control, so you can change speed without breaking stride.

Walking pads are the slimmest option. There’s no tall frame or handrail, just a flat deck that sits on the floor and slides away when you’re done. You can use one in the living room, or under a standing desk while you work. Folding treadmills add a frame and display at the front, and fold up to save floor space between sessions.

Delivery is free on all orders to UK mainland addresses and arrives in 3-5 working days, with no hidden fees.

Walking pad or folding treadmill?

The main difference is the frame. A walking pad is just the deck and motor, so it’s low and light enough to slide under a sofa, bed or desk, depending on its height. A folding treadmill has an upright section at the front with the display and a handle, which gives you something to hold on to, but it takes up more space even when folded.

If you mostly want to walk while working, go for a walking pad. If you’d like a handrail and a display at eye level, a folding treadmill is the better fit.

Speed and incline

Check the top speed on the listing before you buy. Machines that run at 1-6 km/h are built for walking, not running. If you want to jog, look for a higher top speed. Some walking pads, including one SPORTNOW model, also have an incline setting, which tilts the deck to make your walk steeper.

Space and storage

Measure both the floor space you’ll use and the place you’ll store the machine. Leave clear space behind the deck while it’s running, and keep children and pets well away from the moving belt. For storage, check the deck height on the listing if you want it to fit under a sofa or bed.

Using one under a desk

A walking pad and a standing desk go well together. Set the desk height to suit you standing on the deck, not on the floor, as the deck adds a few centimetres. Our standing desks range has height-adjustable models that make this easy. Start at a slow speed while you get used to typing on the move.

Setting up and care

Use the machine on a hard, level floor, with a mat underneath to protect the floor and cut down vibration. Plug it straight into a wall socket rather than an extension lead. Wipe the deck and frame after use, keep dust away from the motor area, and follow the manual for checking belt tension and alignment. Unplug it when you’re not using it.

For other equipment to go with it, browse our home gym range.

Delivery and returns

Delivery is free on all orders to UK mainland addresses and arrives in 3-5 working days, with no hidden fees. If you change your mind, you can return your order, but the return postage is paid by you.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a walking pad and a treadmill?
A walking pad is a flat deck with no upright frame or handrail, so it’s low enough to slide under a desk, sofa or bed. A folding treadmill has an upright section at the front with the display and a handle, which gives more support but takes up more room. Both types in our range fold or tuck away when you’re finished.
