The only way to go for high-pile carpets. Don't bother with any of the others as they will crack and deteriorate in only months. This is the second one I have purchased (need two for the office) and the first one still looks like it did new after 1 1/2 years. Although it moves slightly on carpet I feel you will get that somewhat so that is not a deal breaker. They are expensive but less expensive than replacing lesser pads all the time.
