The best chair mat for protecting carpet is an ES ROBBINS chair mat designed specifically for your carpet thickness (pile). The thicker the carpet, the thicker the chair mat needs to be for the best ergonomic rolling experience.

Big and tall users and those using their chair mat for extended periods of time (8 hours or more) should upgrade their chair mat to the next carpet pile thickness level for optimal support and rolling performance. For example, if your carpet is medium pile, select a high pile rated chair mat for big and tall or extended use time.
