About Office Chair Mats

When setting up your office chair, don't forget to protect your floor! Chair mats for carpeted areas typically have several hundred cleats on the bottom of the mat grip, which are used to keep the mat in place. Mats for hard floors, including wood, tile, and linoleum, are just as important; they will protect flooring from casters, scuffing, and marring.

Mats come in a variety of shapes to accommodate your workstation, whether you have a standard desk, U-shaped desk, L-shaped desk, or corner desk. Most are transparent, which allows the color and design of your floor to show through. For cleaning and transportation purposes, some mats are foldable.

Prices range from $15 to $90. Ensure that the model you choose is appropriate for both the size of your workstation and flooring type.
