I find the office pad I bought is a little thin using it on a carpet. It would be fine if I was using over a hard surface floor. I think the for mats should be shown that it be used over a carpet or a hard floor. The difference being the one I bought is to thin to use over a carpet since it sinks into the carpet and stiffer one would not sink into the carpet.

The labels says that it is an economy mat for commercial carpeting as found in an office. If you try to use it on the type of carpeting found in a typical home the mat is too soft because the carpet is too thick. I am afraid that over time it will start to develop indentations from the chair wheels. It is good for saving a few dollars as the thicker mat was twice the price but you get what you pay for and need to match the mat with its intended use.
I purchased this mat to make it easier to move my chair in front of my home office desk as well as protect the underlying carpet. It is too soon to tell how well it wears over time but it adds to my comfort level as I work in front of my computer.
I accidentally ordered a chair mat for my carpeted office that was smooth on the bottom. BIG MISTAKE! HUGE! I was sliding all over the place. I threw it out and ordered this one instead and it is perfect! Absolutely no issues whatsoever. Highly reccomend!
