How to Choose the Right Bamboo Chair Mat for Your Office
The Natural Rug Co. Moso Bamboo Office Chair Mats are not only an attractive and eco-friendly alternative to traditional chair mats, they're extremely versatile. And one of their most convenient features is that they all work well on both hard floors and carpet.
Choosing the Correct Size
To determine which chair mat would work the best on your carpeted office space, follow these steps:
1. Straighten the end of a paper clip.
2. Push the straightened end into the carpet and through the pad until it hits the floor.
3. Measure the distance on the paper clip between the floor and the top surface of the carpet.
Use that measurement to decide what type of chair mat is right for you:
- If your carpet is 1/4" thick or less (without a carpet pad) we recommend a 5mm Roll-Up Chair Mat.
- If your carpet and pad is 3/8" thick or less we recommend an 8mm Deluxe Roll-Up Chair Mat.
- If your carpet and pad is 3/4" thick or less we recommend a 12mm Tri-Fold Chair Mat.
For hard floors, the thickness or height of the chair mat is up to you.
Consider Weight As Well
If the office chair mat will be used by someone weighing over 250 pounds, opting for a Deluxe or Ultra Deluxe Chair Mat is recommended.
