A well backed vinyl mat for very thick carpet that can dent under daily rolling.
The short version
- Rolling desk chairs on plush or shag style carpet with thick padding
- Buyers who want a stated lifetime no crack warranty and low emissions certification
- Your carpet is thin or low pile, where a lighter rated mat fits better
- You sit for long shifts in a heavy chair and want a mat that will not dent

What it does
A clear vinyl chair mat with a lip and carpet gripping cleats for very thick carpet; the original 120 x 90 cm listing could not be confirmed, so this page covers the ES Robbins mat it maps to.
- Rated for the thickest carpet class in the EverLife range
- AnchorBar cleats grip the carpet to keep the mat in place
- Lip extends under the desk for the chair's footprint
- Beveled edge ramps the transition on and off the mat
- Clear vinyl lets the carpet show through
A sensible pick for a rolling desk chair on plush carpet, since ES Robbins rates its extra high pile mats for carpet over 1 inch thick with padding and backs carpet mats with a no crack warranty. The trade off is that the vinyl can dent under chair wheels over time, so heavy all day use may call for a polycarbonate or glass mat.
