Marvelux 90 x 120cm Premium Polycarbonate Chair Mat, Heavy Duty Office Chairmat for Medium Pile Carpets, Durable Clear Rectangular Carpet Protector Mat, Made in the UK

This is the second chair mat I bought for my new home office. The first one was a rolled pvc item, and completely unsuited to carpet despite the presence of spikes. There was far too much give in it, the chair just didn't roll. This one is a whole new kettle of fish. It comes flat and is a bit wobbly when held but once on the floor it has the rigidity a mat like this needs. You don't get dents in it, even when you've been sitting still for a while, the chair will still move easily when you want it. If you are reading this wondering about pvc or polycarbonate, it's the latter, all the way. Pay a bit extra, it's worth it. I've been using it a month now, it hasn't moved at all on the low/medium carpet below it. The top is slightly frosted, this gives it a nice look and probably helps the wheels of the chair to move without slipping. On the subject of cost, after my first debacle I looked into these products quite deeply, and my research suggested that Floortex products really were the way to go on this. That said, buying from a supplier advertising Floortex products would have cost upwards of £60 which I struggled to justify. I settled for this one, being the same polycarbonate construction, not realising that I was about to be supplied with an actual Floortex mat - see label. So I've got just what I wanted, but at a saving of over £20 from this supplier. Since they don't mention Floortex in the listing, in wondering if they reserve the right to supply more than one different product, but if you get what I got, you'll be delighted with it.

The mat was delivered well packed in a cardboard sleeve, and most importantly, had been kept flat by the courier, so it arrived in perfect condition, with no cracks, creases, folds, bends, or other damage. I have been using my Herman Miller Aeron chair, which has good castors, on a carpet tiled floor, but these did, surprisingly, restrict the free rolling of the chair. Now, with the mat in place, I can slide in and out from the desk with minimal effort! The mat is transparent, and has a slightly textured upper surface, while the underside is studded with small conical teeth, to grip the carpet. In use, the mat doesn't move or slide on the carpet tiles, and the slightly textured surface means that my shoes do not slip on the mat, whilst the chair's castors roll over easily, with no hinderance at all. The mat doesn't seem to generate static, or attract dust, and is easy to clean when hoovering the carpet. It also provides total protection to the carpet underneath, preventing localised wear from feet and chair castors. Although the mat has a minimal thickness, it is not sufficient to catch the soles of my shoes or slippers, (so it doesn't present a trip hazard), and still allows the chair to roll off the mat easily, if needed. It has been in use constantly for a few weeks, now, and shows no signs of wear or damage at all (polycarbonate is extremely tough, and is used in many industrial applications, such as machine guards, and is both durable and strong). This is not a cheap purchase, but is worth every penny - I wouldn't want to be without mine, now!

Really pleased with this- seems robust and doesn't curl up at the edges. Sits in place well on the carpet and has a slight surface texture which stops it being sloppy but enables the wheels of the office chair to move well.

I only write reviews where I think there is something important to say and to provide the sort of information and advice that I would wish to see as a prospective buyer. This product does exactly what I wanted, which was the protection of a carpet that was being damaged by an office chair on castors. I am reviewing here the Heavy Duty Premium Polycarbonate version suitable for low, standard and medium pile carpets. Do not be misled by the reviews talking about dents or cracking, which I can only assume relate to a lower spec or faulty product. My previous protection lasted for a few years before starting to crack and break up but within days had shown denting from the castors. It was thicker than the product I am reviewing here but had channels in it that seemed to allow the formation of dents. I have been using this product for over a week, sitting in the chair for long periods and there are no signs at all of any denting, thus allowing the chair to move freely. The protector has small spikes underneath that keep it absolutely securely in place with no signs of any movement. So far, it appears to be an absolutely first class product. My advice would be to buy with confidence!

Amazing!! Why didn’t I purchase sooner! If you you a home office this is a non-negotiable purchase. Quality is amazing. Thick/strong material, office chair glides over effortlessly. Definitely recommend this item. Well worth the money.

Great for protecting the carpet whilst working from home. Doesn't stop the vacuum going over it and very slim so no chance of tripping up whilst walking past

Avoid this product and Mat Stores UK. Paid £70 for a more premium, quality product and this is not it. Cracks started appearing after 9 months or so and after a couple years it became fully unusable. Average and reasonable use with a desk chair. Find a different one

This mat works perfectly under a desk on a thick carpet. The studded underside keeps it firmly in place, and the material is strong enough that chair wheels don’t sink in at all. It feels solid and durable, giving complete protection without any movement. I’ve used a smaller version in another room and it performed well for years, so when I needed a carpet mat for a larger desk I got the larger size with full confidence.

Sehr stabile Matte, solide verpackt mit Anleitung zum Auspacken, damit sie den Benutzer nicht gleich erschlägt. Da ist echt Spannung auf der Rolle, hat sich gleich flach auslegen lassen, keine hochstehenden Ecken. So soll es sein! Der Stuhl roll leicht und locker, der neue Teppichboden wird geschont und bleibt doch sichtbar. Nun soll die neue Unterlage lange halten. Das wird sich zeigen... Bis jetzt TOP!

Nach 18 Jahren Auslegewarenstrapazierung durch einen schweren rollenden Bürostuhl bei mir zu Hause mit über 90 kg fing der Belag dort an leicht zu leiden, aber nur an dieser Stelle im Raum, sonst alles teppichmäßig noch wie neu. Diese durchsichtige Matte verhindert nun dass ich dass ich den Teppichboden sofort erneuern muss, ein sehr guter Schutz. Eine Seite der Matte (die nach unten) hat ganz viel ganz kleine Plastiknoppen, die sich in der Auslegeware fixierend hineinbohren. Die Matte ist steif und stabil und plan und dick genug. Beinahe hätte ich sie zu klein gekauft, 90 x 120 cm, ist schon eher das Minimum beim Hin- und Herollen mit dem Stuhl. Wer den Platz hat sollte vielleicht sogar noch eine etwas größere nehmen. Ich habe sie erst einmal 14 Tage ausgelegt damit sie nach Zusammenrollung für den Versand wieder plan wurde, dabei auch einmal umgedreht. Und dann bin ich versehentlich barfuß auf die kleinen Noppen (ausnahmsweise nach oben) im Dunkeln getreten, das war nicht gerade angenehm (gab aber keine Verletzungen). Eine tolle und solide Erfindung! Ich wünschte ich hätte die Matte früher schon gehabt, dann hätte die Auslegeware erst gar nicht angefangen zu leiden. Vor 18 Jahren gab es die noch nicht. Nach 2 Monaten sage ich gro0aartig! Durch die Durchsichtigkeit fällt sie weniger als Fremdfläche im Raum auf.

Lässt sich auch gut auslegen und liegt sofort flach.

Sehr schnelle Lieferung. Die Matte erfüllt all ihre Aufgaben. Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Artikel. Gerne wieder.
