Best Chair Mats for Carpet of 2025

"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 of the mat. It grips the carpet well, staying firmly in place without sliding, which has been an issue with other mats. I haven't noticed any indentations or 'divots' forming, and the surface is smooth, allowing my chair to roll easily during long work sessions. Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase—it protects my carpet and makes it easier to move around."

"I didn't want to deal with a mat that was shipped rolled up, so I ordered the Gorilla Office Chair Mat, which arrived flat. It fits perfectly under my desk, and after almost a month of use, there are no indentations at all. My chair rolls smoothly, and it doesn’t move on my medium pile carpet. The tiny sharp pegs keep it in place, yet it's not difficult to relocate if needed. It's definitely worth spending a bit more for such a high-quality mat."

"This mat is thick and strong, working exceptionally well on plush carpeting. There’s no slipping, and my chair rolls effortlessly. For context, I'm a 250 lb big guy. One minor issue was that it arrived unboxed and was a bit dirty, but a quick wipe down solved that. Overall, it performs as advertised."

"I recently bought the Dimex Office Chair Mat for Low Pile Carpet and I'm really impressed with its quality. This mat has proven to be incredibly durable; after several months of use, there's no yellowing or cracking at all, which is a common issue with other mats I've tried. It fits perfectly in my home office, providing ample space for my rolling chair. The mat is firm enough to support the chair's movement, making it easy to glide without any issues. Setting it up was a breeze—just unroll it and place it down. Plus, the price is very reasonable for the quality you receive. If you're in need of a reliable chair mat for low pile carpet, I highly recommend the Dimex mat. It's made a noticeable difference in my workspace."

"Make sure you buy this for carpet or rug, not for a wood floor. It works great though, and the price was very reasonable. It comes rolled up, but it flattened out perfectly."

"I was a bit worried that I would have to spend the night sleeping on each one (I bought three) until they unfurled. But they were incredibly easy to unroll straight out of the box, and they quickly molded to the carpeted floor and became functional within minutes. They look great, provide excellent protection for my carpet, and are a terrific value."

"I've been using these mats for YEARS! They last a fantastically long time, and it takes a lot of pressure to wear it down. The mat is crazy heavy when rolled up, making it tough to unroll alone. I highly recommend getting someone to help, and after a day or two under heavy weight, it stays in place. It's easy to keep clean and camouflages well with the environment since it's clear plastic. I can't recommend this product enough!"

"This mat is a decent floor mat. It lasted 2.5 years before it cracked, which is why I purchased the same one again. It takes some effort to get it to lay flat, but overall, I find it satisfactory for my needs."

"While I appreciate that this mat will protect my carpet in the long run, I do wish I had chosen another brand. The shipping made it hard to lay flat, and even after 50lb weights for two days, it was still curling. Additionally, I find the mat to be extremely small, which is a hassle when moving around in my chair. For the price, I expected better quality and size, so I'm seeking a refund."

"I received this chair mat and it was delivered flat and undamaged, making it easy to use right away. The firm surface allows my chair to glide smoothly, and although it cost a bit more, I believe it’s well worth the price. Unlike my previous mats that were soft and squished under my chair, this one is a winner!"

"It took me a while to get the mat to unroll flat, but once I did, I noticed a significant improvement while rolling my chair. I have to move the chair legs occasionally to avoid dimples, but overall, it’s a great upgrade from carpet. I weigh 200 lbs, and so far, it hasn't cracked."

"I appreciate that this chair mat fits perfectly in my home office. The clear polycarbonate material is not intrusive, and my chair rolls smoothly without slipping. After a few weeks of use, I’m pleased to see it’s held up well, protecting my carpet underneath and remaining easy to clean."

"I could kick myself for not buying this sooner. I wasted money on cheap mats that cracked or dented. My wheels glide smoothly over this industrial strength glass, and it looks beautiful in my office. It protects my carpet effectively, and I feel this will be the last mat I ever need to buy!"

"I've used many chair mats before, but this is the best one ever! The previous vinyl mats dented easily and didn't last long. This tempered glass mat has been a game changer; my chair glides effortlessly, and my posture has improved. It came well packaged, and I highly recommend it!"

"I decided to get a glass chair mat to protect my luxury vinyl plank flooring. This mat is a wise choice; it's sturdy and looks classy. I installed gripper discs to prevent slipping, and it works wonderfully on my low pile carpet. I'm very happy with my purchase!"

"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."

"Winter in Montana made unrolling this mat a challenge. It arrived rolled in a tube with spikes up, and I had to use heavy items to flatten it out. After two weeks, it finally lay flat, but then it wouldn't fit under my desk. A saber saw helped me adjust it, and the results were great!"

"I found it pretty hard to unroll initially, and I even tripped over it, scratching my foot. However, this speaks to its quality and stiffness. Once set up, it looks fantastic in my home!"

"While I liked the size of the mat, it took a few days with weights to get it to unroll fully. I left it upside down with some boxes on the corners, and it seems durable. It's easy to move, which is great for accessing my low file cabinet."

"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."

"I appreciate the rounded corners on this mat. While it does depress under the chair wheels, it recovers quickly. I can even reposition the wheels to create different depressions, which is fine for me; I wouldn't want a heavier mat anyway."

"After buying many hard plastic mats that cracked, I can say this one has lasted over two years without any cracks or chips. It’s a great product and fits my space perfectly!"

"I got this mat to protect my carpet from my chair. It arrived quickly, and despite being a bit tricky to flatten, it does the job well. The plastic nubs keep it in place, and it helps protect my carpet from daily wear and spills while I work."

"I like that this mat is versatile, as I'm 6'5" and weigh 350 pounds, and it allows my chair to move freely over it."

"Overall, I am very pleased with my chair mat. It fits perfectly under my desk, and my chair rolls great!"

"While it seemed heavy at first, I noticed that my chair sinks into the mat, leaving indents that make it hard to move around."
