Chair Mats FAQ
DEAS (Desk Ergonomics Assessment Score) is Desk Doctor’s product rating system. Each product is scored across core performance, build quality, and design penalties, producing a 0–10 composite — higher is better. Tap any row in the table to see the full sub-score breakdown.
If your chair drags or won’t roll smoothly, a mat helps you shift position without effort — small movement through the day matters. It also protects the floor underneath.
They’re built differently. A carpet mat has grippers underneath and a firm surface to roll on; a hard-floor mat is smooth-backed to protect wood or tile. Using the wrong type means a sliding or sticky mat.
Scores are refreshed as products are revised and new models are tested. The table always reflects the current DEAS data.
