Is it 'lays' or 'lies' flat like a rug?

The staff person in the chair that's on this mat rolls from desk to file cabinet on the right and to the printer on her left; she needs coverage and this mat is wide enough to do it.
We've had the chairmat about two weeks. It is on berber carpet and has worked fine. We've had a couple of small indentations from the chair wheels but haven't had any problem rolling the chair.
Purchased this chairmat to replace a perfectly good one which I had but chair rollers dented (settled into) the mat making rolling difficult. The replacement which I paid two and half times more for offered not better support for the chair wheels on the same carpet. The carpet is a dense weave and should have been o.k. for the "plush" model chairmat.
While I have a different Staples mat at my computer I purchased this one for use at my sewing desk. As the item description says it works best on an unpadded commercial carpet. While it is a little light weight for where I have it it is providing adequate protection for my carpet.
I will use this mat a lot. It is a replacement and will be used at my computer desk and I spend several hours there every day. The mat makes it easier for me to move my chair. At 75 I am not as agile as I once was and I need all the help I can get. This mat does not seem to be quite as large or as good a quality as the first one and of course the price had more than doubled. Signs of the times.
