This is being used to help with a Hoyer lift for a person with Parkinsons. It works well. I need another one and will order. The aide likes it very much but we need one twice the size so I am ordering another.
I read the reviews on this mat before purchasing and was still concerned that a plastic mat might move. But this one stays securely to the carpet. My prior floor mat was wood flooring with grip on the back and it moved a lot. This one is very secure. One side of the mat was a bit dented when it arrived (as it was not boxed which was a bit dissappointing) but that dent came out after letting the mat sit for a few days before using it. I like being able to see my carpet under the plastic. I am not oversided in weight so I don't know how this floor mat would hold up to a larger person. I would estimate that anyone less than 200 lbs would probably be okay on it.
The mat is thin and my chair sinks into it as I sit. So much so that it’s hard for the chair to roll after a while. Also the bumps on the bottom that are supposed to keep the mat in place on carpet don’t work. The mat migrates and has to be repositioned every few days. Not happy at all.
Needed this for a new job that is home-based. It doesn't move much so that part is at least correct. But it does indent very easily. I am only 170 pounds and my chair is constantly making huge indents in the plastic while I am sitting on it. They almost completely go away when I move my chair out of the holes. But it is still really annoying.
