Is this a good mat for a standing desk as well as a chair?

It's good for standing but definitely not the best. My colleague has one that is much thicker and provides more cushion. That said, the mat is much to soft for a rolling chair.

This is some rather firm kind of foam and not very thick. 1/3"??? I don't think it would be good for an adult standing on for long periods of time and I think it would be too soft to aupport a chair. I got it for an infant to use under her jumping chair to soften her landings.

Yes, it would be. Do not try to order anything from Crown Comfort King, like try to match the Amazon product color. I spent $200 trying to order a matching color in a different size, could not get there, and they would not try to fix the problem. The mat we got is great, the mat we paid for sucked, and we lost our money. That part not cool, but the quality of the shorter mat is great.

I have bought 3 of them and am using them in the kitchen. It seems that they would work very well for a standing desk.

Honestly I don't think it would work well for a chair. The material isn't too thick, so I think you could use a chair on it. But it has some give to it, so I wouldn't expect this to work well. I use it for standing only, and for when I sit down on a stool I move it out of the way. It might be okay with a chair that has fixed legs, but I wouldn't try it with a roller chair. Hope this helps!

Absolutely. It's probably the best mats you can buy short of true gymnastic mats. I've used them for years in both a small membership gym and one of my personal training studios.

It is not the right type of mat for helping with standing in the kitchen, the cushion is soft for just getting out of the shower and walking on, but it's not in any way supportive. There are much better mats for that. Also, this would absorb into the foam any liquids you spilled on it and would get manky pretty fast, I'd bet.

Yep, it's just a foam mat so you can move it aside easily. It is too high for a chair to roll over, so you will need to physically move it away from your desk.

Yes it can. I am pleased with the quality and flexibility the mat offers! A great buy

My chair has left no lasting marks or indentations on the mat thus far. I own this mat in conjunction with an Ergotron sit-stand desk. When I get tired of standing, I bring the desk down and roll my chair on top of the mat. The chair is pretty heavy yet the strength of the mat is apparent as no damage has been done.

Yes. Actually, the mat didn't work for me. It was too slippery and I was able to return it for a full refund.

I'm not a fan of it for plush carpets since it's a soft plastic; chairs leave large dents in it, making it hard to move around on if you have a chair with wheels. On my plush carpet, the chair moves around better without the mat. The mat does protect the chair wheels from getting string and lint on the axels however.

of course, there is no reason not to. as i have advised before, this is the perfect mat for all floor exercises but not standing balance exercises because the thickness does not allow you to get a firm grip or foot grasp of the floor. I ALWAYS USE IT ON A CARPET.

this rubber-mat is fairly thick and doesnt sound like it would match your criteria. I was surprised that it was very thick, however the length of it is quite small considering the dimensions of the floor is not that substantial.

I agree, yes to both. The mat is great! Every new cabinet install should come with one of these. Unfortunately, I didn't know these existed when I really needed it, but I'm sure it will prevent any future problems.

No. The tiles of this mat will come apart under the pressure of your hands and whatnot and especially on the soft surface of carpet. Keep seeking stickier and thicker yoga mats.

it grips as well as any mat I've used. if you're going to be sweating a lot, you might want to invest in grippy socks and/or gloves.

Honestly... If I want to sit I just roll my chair into the mat. I don't know if that's going to mess with the longevity of the mat, but so far it hasn't caused any problems.

It is not as thick as a computer chair mat and the ends can come up and you can fold it to flatten one side. i run a small hand held vacuum over it but it would get caught in a big vacuum.

Absolutely. I find it more useful compare to yoga mats, which are usually narrower and thinner. The top surface of the mats are slightly corrugated so it is not slippery when you do workouts. It is both firm and cushioning. I built an area about 6'x10'. They can be quickly put away in less than two minutes.

yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be... » Read More yes. especially for a cheap mat i've found it to be great. it gives enough cushion where you can't feel the floor on your back at all. the only complaint i can see people having is that the mat is a little small and it rolls back a lot because normally you roll it up after use. for me though, i just accept the fact that if i'm doing leg lifts or other exercises that require full body extension my feet might hang over the end. to me it's not a big deal and this mat is perfect for what i need it for. if it's just straight sit ups you're looking at and you're not 7 feet tall, you should be just fine. « Show Less
