Protect Your Carpeted Floors with an Office Chair Mat

TJ: It lasted 2 years before cracks and about 3 years before completely breaking. My csrpet is medium pile. It does slide.

Justin Smith: These are pretty good chair mats overall. The spikes on the bottom help keep the mat in place but I wish they were just a little longer as the chair mat still moves after about a week and needs to be moved back. The chair mat has been used for about 2 years with no cracks or damage showing.

Advisor: Die Schreibtischstuhlunterlage sieht gut und wertig aus. Die Oberfläche ist leicht "angerauht" und der Schreibtischstuhl rollt gut und angenehm darauf.

Allerdings gibt es ein gewichtiges Sicherheitsmanko: Die Unterseite der Unterlage ist sehr glatt, so dass die ganze Unterlage auf einem Laminatboden sehr schnell einfach wegrutscht man im ungünstigen Fall auf der Nase liegt!

P. E: So many similar products on the market it is a tough decision to make. I am very happy with my choice - the mat is hard wearing and does not flex/move under the weight of an overweight man (that would be me) on a heavy office chair - the wheels roll smoothly without digging in at all.

I have had the mat for a few months now and found no problems with it.

It arrived as a large flat carboard covered item - not rolled (it would not bend that much!) so that is a good sign... I have bought two mats and both looked like they had been through the mill - both were barely packed with tears down the sides. But this did not affect the product at all - no damage found.

My only slight disappointment is that the spikes on the underside do not see very long and as a result the mat has a tendency to "walk" over time, leaving little diagonal "drags" in the underlying carpet. Not a huge problem - the mat stops once it meets the desk that I am using. The carpet is low pile wool.

B. CoxB. Cox: I have recently moved into a new place, complete with new thick pile carpeting, and became very aware my heavy office chair was going to create wear quite quickly. Hence this purchase.

It eventually arrived (no kudos whatsoever to the carrier on a very poor delivery, no fleet footed messenger of the gods this time). It was very well packaged and to my delight not rolled up, just in one very big flat package, so no worries about curl or whatever. On unpacking I realized curling was unlikely as it is reassuringly thick and obviously very very robust.

The underside has small "studs" (for want of a better expression), so there is no chance of movement, and every chance of excellent protection.

So a well earned 5 stars - except... its potentially quite dangerous! My chair, and most other office chairs, is on castors, and the moment weight is placed upon the chair its off, zooming uncontrolled over the hard surface area of the mat. However gingerly one lowers oneself into the chair it will scarily shoot across the mat. And if this sitting action is done without thought the sudden sliding can be potentially hazardous in any number of ways.

So what about brakes...

Claudia: Ich hatte mich für diese Bodenschutschmatte entschieden, weil sie angeblich nicht gerollt geliefert wird, was aber so leider nicht stimmte. In dem gelieferten Karton, der nicht flach war, war sie lieblos, offen lose halb-gerollt drin, ohne zusätzliche Stabilisierung z.B. durch Papier.
Dadurch hatte sie viel Spiel und an einer Ecke ist schon ein ganz leichter Sprung drin ☹️, was mich an der Qualität jetzt schon etwas zweifeln lässt.

Die Verarbeitung scheint auch nicht so gut zu sein, die Matte ist zwar sehr fest und stabil, aber am Rand der Kantenunterseiten, rundherum, sind rauhe Erhebungen, ist nicht ganz glatt, was eventuell bei bestimmten Böden ggf. zu Kratzern führen könnte, da sie sich scharf anfühlen, aber ich bin natürlich kein Fachmann. Auch die Kante selber ist nicht schön abgerundet, was vielleicht am harten Material liegt.
Wenn kein Gewicht drauf steht, verrutscht sie auch leicht.
Bei uns liegt sie auf PVC. Der Computerstuhl rollt sehr leichtgängig drüber, vielleicht etwas zu leicht. Naja, ist wohl Geschmackssache.

Wir behalten sie jetzt, eine Rücksendung wäre mir jetzt auch zu Aufwendig. So richtig überzeugt bin ich jedenfalls...

JetageJetage: After 9 months working from home with an office chair (5 points of contact DSE) my carpets were screming out for some protection. The constant shifting around pushes the carpet around, making little ridges, and ultimately weakening its structure. the worst bits are now looking a little tatty.

This seemed like a good solution and once installed (ie put on the floor) it's doing a great job. My desk is about 2m wide and I have no problem reaching everything without coming off the sheet. The grips underneath do a great job of lodging into the carpet so that the clear panel stays put. All in all something I no longer think about, and because its transparent it doesn't look out of place.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the product, but the packaging was very poor. I think it reached me undamaged by luck rather than design. 2x large pieces of cardboard sandwiching the product, but only held together on one of the edges. Unpacking was more about stopping it falling out rather than opening.

4 stars, would have been 5 but I suspect other people are receiving these damaged.

Happy Camper: I spend alot of time on my computer, even more so these days with COVID restrictions working at home. I have gone through many mats over the years, they usually last me about 2 years before breaking. This particular mat is one of the thickest and sturdiest I've purchased. This one feels like it may outlast most of the others I've gone through. I have a thin pile plush carpet in my office, and my chair slides smoothly, the mat does not curl up anywhere and easily supports my 235 lbs. plus deluxe office chair for hours on end. Highly recommended.

Now, the bad part: The mat is cleared labelled as "SHIP FLAT" in huge letters but it arrived curled up in a box. Certainly not the manufacturer's fault, this is Amazon's packing dept. I was concerned about this when it arrived, a few other reviewers have noted this problem. If you order this and it arrives curled up in a box, USE EXTREME CARE when opening it. The mat is very "stiff" and it will suddenly pop out of the box and may injure you with the sharp spikes on the bottom of it. Once the mat was safely out of the box, it immediately flatted and resumed and held its proper shape with no curling at all. Probably because I am near...

freya_hazefreya_haze: I've had a couple of different floor mats over the past couple of years of working in offices as well as working from home, and have to say I'm very impressed with this one overall! Initially I thought that it was going to be much like some of the floppy almost rubbery ones that I've seen from other brands, but with this item that is not the case at all. It's almost like you've dropped a piece of hard flooring into your carpet, but its thin enough that you aren't about to trip or stub your toe on it.

Caught me by surprise to see such a large package outside of my door when I received this, but they are not joking when they say it is shipped flat. It's essentially shipped in a large box that just hasn't been folded together into box form yet, like a giant cardboard envelope. When pulling the floor mat out of the packaging the first thing I noticed was that it had very little flex to the material and just overall felt very sturdy.

There weren't any marks or imperfections the floor mat as far as I could see, and even after I've been rolling around on it for a few weeks, still not a scratch on it! The product is so transparent that from a distance you may not even notice...

TheTrainer: UPDATE 4: I received my replacement mat inside of a week (not bad, considering the world problems with the Covid-19 slow-down). Unlike the first mat, this was shipped in a large box with the mat curled so it would fit (even though the shipping sticker on the mat clearly tells the Amazon shipper to ship this item flat). However, I opened the box and the mat wasn't damaged. Since I need to firm it up a bit (I want to use it on the non-recommended thick pile carpet), I know I'll need to put something under it. JUST BEWARE - THIS IS NOT FOR THICK PILE CARPETS!

UPDATE 3: Wow! The president of the company immediately responded to my email - it turns out the problem was chiefly my fault - I hadn't read the mat was not for "thick pile carpets" (all I noticed was the word "unbreakable"). HOWEVER - they were willing to either send me another mat, or fully refund my purchase price! Since the fault was mine - I'm not going to take advantage of them - but how GREAT is it for a manufacturer to stand completely behind their product - even when usage issues aren't their fault? This is how I define GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Great JOB!

UPDATE 2: Second crack appeared (I wasn't moving on...
