Can you use an office chair on carpet without a chair mat?

You can use an office chair on carpet without a mat, but a chair mat significantly improves rolling ease and reduces fatigue. On thick or medium-pile carpet, rolling requires more effort. A polycarbonate chair mat provides a smooth rolling surface. On high-pile carpet, a chair mat is essentially required. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries chair mats for all floor types — call 888-719-4960.
