I use these pads in my home office where floor is covered with 7/8" thick commercial solid foam padding and thick plush carpet. The chair glides easily over the surface and protects the carpeted area.
Hated to pay the absurd price for this mat but I have to say it’s been a Excellent investment. My old mat just kept on slipping and bunching up ( $30 ) not what I wanted. I would highly recommend for anyone with 1/2 to 3/4 inch carpets it hasn’t moved at all.
