This is not a mat suggestion, but if you are interested in reducing noise, here is something that worked for me. I put these dampers under each leg of my Kurt Kinetic trainer and they work great to prevent vibration from transferring into the floor.
You might be able to use these in conjuction with a mat.
If it was a piece of machinery I'd have gone for a foam pad like this. Ideally that's what you'd stick between the source of the vibration and the ground. But it should work for your bed.
You can get puck shaped rubber feet too.
Depending on the vibration you'll want a different hardness. As this is just transmitted vibrations, these may be a little stiff, but might be worth a go.
I can't really vouch for either of these items in particular. And they do seem to report a bit hit and miss with the reviews. I suppose the hard part will be making sure that your bed stays on top of them and doesn't crush the material they've made from.
Also, make sure you don't have the bed against the wall, because the vibrations will be transmitted up that too.
If you want a low tech solution, cut tennis balls in half and stuff them with a firm foam.
Thanks for the reply! I've already done this, as per my post. The ones I bought from Amazon aren't stopping the vibrations, though. Do you have any recommendations from ones that will definitely stop the vibrations?

Don't buy that cooling fan. It's just going to make more noise. These will do the same thing with no additional noise.

I'm using ones similar to these with a sticky back. Make sure the console is level, too as that helps tremendously with noise.
A rug probably couldn't hurt either. Another option if you want to throw some money at it are rubber or foam isolation pads. Amazon sells some: Vibrapod - Isolator Isolation Feet - $24 and Ideaworks JB6368 S/4 Anti Vibration Pads - $5, there are a few more options as well. They may or may not work but they might be worth a shot.
One option is to try to reduce the noise at the source.
You could buy a set of these for each machine and see how much that reduces the noise

I haven't used these, so I can't tell how effective these are.
