Chair Mats
How to choose chair mats
Sub-type
First, pick the sub-type: an Office & Chair Mat for under-desk use, or an Office Supplies slider for broader furniture care.
Colour
Colour matters: clear keeps the floor visible, while black or gold suits a statement setup.
Material
Material trade-off: light plastic shifts easily, but tin/lead or wood sits firm at the cost of weight.
Usage
polyester rugs decorate a room, yet rigid plastic or rubber takes the daily roll of a chair.

What's good
- Clear plastic chair mats protect the floor while letting the carpet or wood show through.
- Polyester and polyester-velvet mats add a themed look for a dorm room or home theatre.
- Mats with tin/lead or gold in the build gain heft, so they stay flat without curling.
- The Office Supplies sub-type covers floor sliders, handy for guarding furniture legs too.
- Colours like pink, purple or green let a gaming corner or kids' space stand out.
Things to watch
- Polyester rugs lack a rigid surface, so an office chair on castors can bunch them up.
- Clear mats make every dust particle and scratch visible, unlike beige or coffee tones.
- Wood or tin/lead builds are heavier, which makes moving them a two-hand job.
- Bright multi or themed colours can feel out of place in a client-facing office.
- Rubber or wood options favour style over the daily wear a plastic mat shrugs off.
Care & maintenance
Wipe
Wipe plastic and rubber mats with a damp cloth to keep the clear ones spotless.
Vacuum
Vacuum polyester or velvet blends on a gentle setting to avoid crushing the fibres.
Dry
Keep wood and metal-mix mats dry, since moisture can warp wood or tarnish lead and gold.
Rotate
Rotate coloured mats occasionally so sun exposure fades them evenly.
