Chair Mats

How do I choose an office chair mat?

As you're rolling back and forth in your desk chair, make sure to protect the area beneath your desk from wear and tear with a reliable chair mat. Whether you have plush carpets or richly finished hardwood floors, it's easy to find an office chair mat that'll suit your needs. You’ll find mats that fit your work area just right with shapes like lipped, rectangle, contour and workstation. A wide variety of materials, including plastic, bamboo, vinyl and glass, are available to ensure your floors are protected by a mat that’s a good match for your sense of style. And with styles that blend in with hardwood floors and disappear on patterned carpets, it's easy to seamlessly integrate a set of office floor mats into your décor.

How do I find the best chair mat for carpets?

Whether you're working as a gamer or an accountant, your carpet doesn't have to feel overworked. You can glide across the floor with a durable chair mat that protects your carpet and improves your mobility. Just like your go-to chair accessories are made for specific chairs, most carpet chair mats are designed for specific types of carpets, such as high-pile or commercial, so it's fairly easy to find one that suits your floor. With features like slip-resistant rubber and cleat backing, you can roll from your desk to the file cabinet and back again without worrying about your desk chair mat shifting underneath, and smooth surfaces help make rolling in your seat feel effortless. Use our Chair Mat Buying Guide to help you find a chair mat for your carpet.

What is a good floor mat for sit-stand desks?

When it comes to choosing a chair mat for your sit-stand workstation, a contoured style can help keep you comfortable no matter what tasks are on the table. Consider a chair mat that doubles as a standing floor mat or a chair mat with a separate standing mat. Encourage comfort and movement as you work through projects with a mat that's mapped with massage pods and movement triggers, and experience the comfort of reduced hip, back and leg strain with cushioned designs. Anti-fatigue mats that combine comfort and support can help you manage each workday with ease.
