This mat said it was for carpeting up to 3/4" thick. I put it on 1/2" carpet which should have been even better but just sitting down in my 5 roller/leg chair for 5 minutes left dents! It was thinner than the one I had bought for way less. Poor quality product. THIN. A waste of my time!
It does say low pile without padding and because of the great price I tried it on a padded carpet and it is correct that it will not work for that application.The wheels sink into it so don't try it because it will not work well.
