We bought two 4' x 8' sheets of that "ice" material ($30 per sheet) for the floor and did some testing. We compared traction on the "ice" the carpet and plain old tiled floor. The ice was the slickest. The carpet was slick but not as bad. The tile was surprisingly almost the same as the ice. So, to answer your question, if you cannot afford to buy some of the ice material, use a tiled floor as your best simulation.
