Treadmill in Apt

I’m postpartum and trying to get back into working out/running. With a baby and a toddler, working out during nap time seems like the most realistic option, so I’ve been considering getting a treadmill.

My biggest concern is being a good neighbor. I live in an apartment and really don’t want to make life miserable for whoever is below or next door.

I’ve looked into ways to reduce noise and vibration (thick rubber flooring, a treadmill mat, anti-vibration pads, etc.), but I’m wondering if those actually make enough of a difference in real life.

Has anyone here successfully used a treadmill for jogging (6mph) in an apartment without getting complaints? If so:
What kind of treadmill do you have?
Did you use any mats or vibration-reducing setup?
Did your downstairs neighbors ever mention hearing it?

I’d love to hear real experiences before I invest in one. Thanks!

Sloan sectional arrived - smaller than expected

Ordered a Sloan Storage Sleeper Right Chaise Sectional in Performance Antimicrobial Chenille Bone with the bench seat upgrade, down alternative cushions, and memory foam mattress.

I placed my order during the New Year’s sale in January and it finally arrived July 15 way past the original delivery timeline, countless emails to customer support, and repeated delivery date pushbacks. It was honestly exhausting, so I was incredibly excited when it finally showed up.

The couch is beautiful, but I’m unfortunately really disappointed.

We replaced our West Elm Urban Sleeper Storage Sectional with the Sloan and specifically compared the dimensions before ordering because we loved how comfortable the West Elm was. The Sloan website advertises a 24-inch seat depth, which should have been very comparable. However, after measuring, the seat depth is only about 21–22 inches. It may not sound like much, but it makes the sofa feel noticeably shallower and much less comfortable for lounging with the family.

The seat cushions are also much firmer than the Sloan I sat on in the showroom, and several cushions arrived with visible dirt/discoloration and upholstery imperfections.

We’ve reached out to Interior Define three times since the sectional was delivered on Wednesday, sent photos documenting everything, and so far haven’t received a response.

After waiting six months, I expected a sectional that matched what I experienced in the showroom and what was advertised on the website. Instead, this has been an incredibly frustrating experience from start to finish.

Has anyone else experienced the seat depth being noticeably shallower than advertised or the cushions being much firmer than the showroom model? If so, how did Interior Define resolve it?
