In an eight hour workday, an office worker moves his or her chair more than 300 times per day. Given the frequency of these movements, a workspace without chair mats is more susceptible to Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). Chair mats are an ergonomic tool to reduce the likelihood of RSI and lower fatigue.
Chair Mats also protect your special rugs, carpet and flooring from damage caused by chair wheels. Chairmats are made from vinyl and are available with a beveled edge for smooth on and off movement, as well as classic straight edge.

How to measure carpet thickness:
1. Straighten the end of a paper clip.
2. Sink straightened end of paper clip into the carpet so that it penatrates the carpet backing and reaches
the floor below (you may have to wiggle the paper clip to force it through the carpet backing.
3. Grab the paper clip with your thumb and index finger at the point that it is flush with top of carpet. Be
sure that you are not matting down the carpet with your hand.
4. Measure the distance between your fingers and the end of the paper clip.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Which chairmat is the thickest?
The Deflecto ExecuMat is great for the home office, designed for "Big & Tall". Superior mat made for extra deep, high pile carpets. These Chair Mats are of the thickest top quality vinyl you can buy!
Should I choose a beveled edge (ramped) or a straight edge mat?
You should choose the beveled edge if you will be frequently rolling on and off of your mat. The ramped edge allows for a smoother rolling surface. Beveled edges are almost always more appropriate with thicker mats.
How do I get my chair mats to unroll and lay flat?
Our rolled mats respond well to heat. The best options would be placing the mat in direct sunlight.
