I am a heavyweight. When I sit on any furniture on carpet the furniture makes impressions in the carpet. I put the mat under my swival rocker recliner. It is not making an impression in the carpet now.
Be careful handling this product. The same grippers you love to hold it in place on the carpeting will cut your finger while installing. I was warned by the checkout clerk ...... thankfully.
I was having problems with an old mat which had turned yellow and began to crack into pieces. The Economical Mat by Staples is the perfect replacement in my home computer room. It does just fine on the short pile rug. It doesn't creep or buckle and my chair glides across its surface very smoothly.
Iam 6'4" and 230lbs. need 4 to 6 more inch's in size. chair wheels sink's into pad and sometime's you have to get up to move need's to be thicker so chair can roll and not sink. thank's for listening. SNOWBIRD
It was so thin I could not believe it. Thinner than what I needed to replace. It's so thin I just put it over the old broken one so maybe it will last a year. This is not good though because the underneath spikes make it slide ove old one. Sorry I bought this. Don't know what the manufacturer was thinking specificing this for plush carpet.
