Best High Pile Chair Mats for Carpet of 2025

"I found this mat to be sturdy and thick, allowing my desk chair to glide easily without any issues. It's perfect for my carpeted office and holds my weight well."

"I purchased this mat for my bedroom office, and I was impressed with the excellent packaging. The material is thick and supports the chair rolling well, but I wish I had noticed that it doesn't have spikes."

"Setting up my home office with this mat has been a game-changer. It's long enough to cover my L-shaped desk perfectly, and I appreciate that it doesn’t have spikes, making it easy to adjust. Overall, I'm very happy with this mat."

"I bought this mat to replace a splintering bamboo chair mat. I initially wanted a tempered glass mat, but I was worried about it shattering. I found this chair mat, which is thicker than the previous ones I used and feels like it will last. The unrolling process was a bit challenging, but I managed by letting it sit for a few minutes before continuing to unroll it. The effort was worth it; I've had no marks or signs of wear so far. I highly recommend it!"

"I reluctantly gave this mat 1 star because while it isn’t terrible, it’s marketed as an extra high pile mat. On my carpet, the chair sinks in, leaving memory bumps that make it hard to reposition. After short sessions, the chair indents quickly, and the bumps can be irritating. The mat does lose the bumps over time, but calling it an extra high pile chair mat feels misleading. If it weren’t for the challenging unrolling process, I’d consider returning it."

"We chose this chair mat for our plush carpet after looking at several options. It offered the best price-to-value ratio and is well-constructed and thick. I noticed the prices vary widely, but Amazon had the best deal. We ordered two mats, and while one arrived unrolled and perfect, the other was rolled up but managed to flatten out after some effort. The quality is impressive, and it stays in place, even under my weight, which is a huge plus compared to thinner mats I've used before. So far, we are very satisfied!"

"I received this mat today and installed it immediately. My only regret is not buying this mat sooner! I've wasted so much money on other mats marketed for high pile carpets, only to have my chair's casters sink into them. This mat is flexible enough to bend but firm enough that the casters don't sink at all. There are no more divots! This one is well worth the investment, and I feel completely confident in saying you won't regret this purchase."

"Overall the floor mat is good, but I have a few things to consider before spending over a hundred dollars on it. It moves around a lot because the spikes are not long enough. My old mat lasted 15 years, while I doubt this one will survive as long. I suggest buying two of these mats and gluing them together for added durability."

"I've been using this Desk chair mat for about a week now. It works very well on my plush carpet, and the chair rolls smoothly. Take the warnings seriously when unpackaging; my fiancé was careful, but it still smacked his hand. Overall, I would recommend it!"

"After years of searching, I finally found this heavy-duty computer chair mat that's thick enough for my deep piled carpet. I made sure to read the directions before unrolling it. It arrived in perfect condition, but took several days to lay flat, especially since it was delivered in freezing temperatures. However, it was well worth the wait, and now it's perfect. I will definitely purchase from this company again."

"I was really pleased with this chair mat at first. It’s sturdy enough for heavy people, and the quality is excellent. I liked it so much that I ended up ordering two more later. I'm just a bit cautious to see how it holds up over time for any cracks or dents."

"I’m having a hard time getting this mat to unroll since it arrived. No matter how warm I make it, it's just so rigid that it feels useless. I can't recommend this product based on my experience."

"After 14 months of use, I noticed some cracks in three places, which I expected considering my chair sits on 5/8" plush carpet. I weigh 255 lbs, and since I primarily work from home, I opted for single rollerblade wheels for easier movement. To address the cracking, I placed a thick vinyl mat underneath, hoping to prevent further damage. Overall, I'm still happy with this chair mat, particularly since it lasted over a year of 10-hour workdays before any issues arose. I purchased it for $115, which breaks down to $9 per month, and now I see the price has dropped to $85."

"I initially bought this mat because it seemed like the best option aside from glass. My first mat held up for a couple of years with a few hours of daily use. When it cracked, I used the warranty to get a new one, but I had to pay shipping for that. Unfortunately, the second mat has not performed well; it developed multiple cracks within a couple of months, making it nearly unusable for rolling. Additionally, the smooth bottom means I have to readjust it weekly to keep it in place under my desk. Given the cost and my experience with the warranty, I wouldn’t consider this a worthwhile purchase and am looking into getting a glass mat instead."

“I recently purchased the Gorilla Grip Office Chair Mat for my carpeted home office, and it's been a solid addition to my setup. The 48x36 dimension gives me plenty of space to move my chair around without worrying about hitting the edge. It grips the carpet well and stays firmly in place, protecting it from wear and tear. I haven’t noticed any indentations or divots, which has been an issue with cheaper mats. The smooth surface allows for easy movement, making long work sessions much smoother.”

“I didn't want to deal with a mat that was shipped rolled up, so I got the Gorilla Office Chair Mat that arrived flat. It fits perfectly under my desk, and after almost a month of use, there are no indentations. My chair rolls smoothly, and the tiny sharp pegs keep it in place on my medium-pile carpet. It's definitely worth spending a little more for this high-quality mat!”

“This mat is thick and strong, working exceptionally well on plush carpeting. It doesn’t slip, and my chair rolls effortlessly. I weigh 250 lbs, and it holds up well. However, it was shipped unboxed and arrived a bit dirty from the warehouse. A quick wipe with a wet rag took care of that.”

"I was truly surprised by the quality of this mat. I ordered the 2 pack and found them to be heavy, thick, and durable. They work great over carpet, allowing my chair to move around with ease while the mat stays put. The protective coating gives a nice clear finish under my desk, making it a great purchase."

"Initially, I was worried it might be too thin and crack under the weight of my chair, but that hasn’t been the case at all! Even on thick carpet, it performs beautifully. One of the benefits of its thinness is that if my chair rolls off, it’s easy to roll back on to the mat. I’m really happy with this mat!"

"The mat is clear and very sturdy, but I found it not to be very thick. This allows me to roll my chair back on it without any issues."

"I found it very difficult to unroll. I recommend wearing heavy work gloves or you might get hurt. It took two of us to force it open. I placed some heavy weights on the corners for a couple of days. I opened mine on a cement basement floor, and it feels very strong and durable."

"Initially, it was great, but now it's starting to curl up. After two years, I'm unfortunately throwing it out because it's become too curled."

"So far, I'm having no issues. The mat stays well in place on the floor, doesn’t move around, and is just easy to clean with a vacuum."

"I love everything about this mat; it's heavy duty and works wonderfully on my carpet. My office chair rolls easily without leaving indents!"

"I was thrilled to find this mat; it holds up well on my thick carpet and provides great traction for my chair without moving around."

"I have used many chair mats in my home office, and this one is one of the best. It doesn't sag under heavy weight and makes rolling easy and comfortable."

"I was initially concerned about the mat's compatibility with my carpet, but I was pleasantly surprised. It fits perfectly under my daughter's loft bed desk and protects the carpet well. The chair rolls easily, and the mat has stayed in place without any issues."

"After a frustrating time maneuvering my chair on the carpet, I researched desk mats and found this one. It’s thick and durable, easy to reshape, and stays flat. I used a hair dryer to help flatten it after unrolling, and now it works perfectly!"

"I replaced my old mat with this one, and I’m very pleased with its size and appearance. It covers the areas I needed under the desk and chair, and while it was a bit tricky to unroll, it flattened out quickly. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase."
