Whether your flooring is hardwood, vinyl tiles, or carpet, the wheels on your computer chair will eventually cause damage to your floor. You may want to place a computer chair mat as a protection against scratches and spoilage of your carpet. You can also roll your chair about more easily with a computer chair mat. And if you are worried about the static electricity that your computer produces, you can opt for an anti static mat.

Computer chair mats have different price ranges depending on the size you choose. You can opt for a small computer chair mat that accommodates your chair alone. A medium-sized computer chair mat can be placed under your desk as well, and larger computer chair mats are also available. If you want a top quality computer chair mat, it will be best to purchase one that is anti-static and made of clear, heavy plastic.

For a hardwood or tiled floor, cheaper computer chair mats that do not have anti-static properties may suffice. Your objective here is only to protect your floor from the scratches of your chair. But if you have nylon carpeting, you will need an anti static floor mat. Be aware that friction generates static electricity which can be damaging for your computer. An anti static mat can help you avoid this problem.

Before going out to buy a computer chair mat, you must check the thickness of your carpet. The appropriate style of computer chair matting will depend on the total thickness of your carpet and its underlay. You will need a thicker, more durable chair mat for thick 16-mm piles and deeper because the surface is not firm. You can use a cheaper, thinner mat only when underlying support is firm, as in a concrete floor that has a thin underlay between floor and carpet.
