heavy carpet pad for thick carpets
on August 3, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
When the carpet is thick you need heavy gauge plastic to avoid tearing up the carpet and the padding. I have purchased 2 of these (1 for each home office) and they work great. Easy for the chair to move on. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 stars is that the pad shifts after a few days and it's heavy and bulky to move back in place. But that's a small price to pay for protecting my carpets.
Since I wore a hole in our old carpet I decided with new carpet a chair mat was a good idea. I would have preferred a heavier mat but didn't want to spend more money. This one will save the carpet but I've already made dents in it where I usually sit which means when I move the chair it wants to fall back into place. I'm still happy I bought this one as this is a problem I can deal with better than hole-y carpet!
