Most people don’t give the office chair mat much thought – it’s the mat that sits under the wheels of your office chair and allows you to move around on your chair smoothly during the course of the day.

Chair mats that are the most commonly seen are those that are of a hard clear plastic with spikes on the bottom which will grip the carpet/floor.

The reason that most offices prefer the clear office chair mats is because they will match in with the rest of the décor, since you can still see the office floor below them.

Anti-static office chair mats are the best to look for because they will help to eliminate the electricity build up that can happen in the office so you won’t receive electric shocks from your computer, phone or office desk!

Should you be considering a chair mat, the plain square type is the most popular.  However, if your office desk is not a simply straight desk, then you may need to have a look at more of a unique size / shape of mat.

As soon as your mat is in place under your office chair you will notice the difference immediately, you will feel more secure, can move far more easily and won’t fall when you push your chair from underneath you to stand up.
