My carpet is not what I would consider high pile but I bought this mat due to full days sitting and I’m a bigger guy. The mat does hold up to a point but I still sink and leave impressions. This does make it difficult to move the chair. Even if it’s been only minutes. I wish they would just make a heavy duty for large people mat. When it was delivered it was not in a box or anything. The shipping tag was stuck to the mat and it was laid down outside my door. I would recommend this as a mat for anyone up to 250-275 but my 300lbs is pushing the limit.
I have had issues with cheaper mats and my chair wheels digging pits into them specifically bought this to avoid that and I'm ready to throw it in the trash after using from New Years to mid-April. It gets a lot of use but I weigh 185lbs would think that it could handle an average-ish weight but nope.
