Gaming chair floor mats are a luxury, not a necessity. But having one to your workstation adds a lot. They have floor-gripping rubber undersides on the bottom. Up top are a range of water-resistant styles. Some designs are plain. Others are vibrant. They look good, protect hard floors, and keep your feet warm. Check out some of the most attractive gaming chair floor mats now available.
Here at ChairsFX HQ, I use a (not available) Captain America floor mat over ceramic floors. This mat protects my nervous landlord’s floors. It also lets me work with bare feet.
Aesthetically, it adds a nice visual boundary around my ‘productivity zone’. Having a soft circle of fabric around my chair gives visual and tactile sensations that better help me to ‘switch on’. After a 20 or 25-minute blast of work, I stand up and step away from the mat perimeter. That snaps me out of the ‘zone’ to stretch, relax, or walk around before another go.
Science backs the idea of working in 25-minute bursts. It helps to make people sharper and more productive. In my experience, a mat marking boundaries helps to better switch on, or off when needing a break.
Gaming chair floor mat advantages
The gaming chair floor mats listed in this guide share a few qualities. First, all are made from tough material with rubberized, non-slip undersides. All are around half as thick as a yoga mat.
On Amazon, most top-rated office chair floor mats are boring transparent squares. They’re tough, but with the sterile aesthetics of a doctor’s office. In contrast, gaming chair floor mats are colorful and pleasant against bare feet.
There are a handful of more colorful office-style floor mats on Amazon, but most have plenty of negative reviews. In general, many complain that many models are too thin, and not grippy enough. Without the proper grip, cheap mats will often get caught in your chair’s caster wheels.
There are three advantages of gaming chair floor mats. First, they stay in place. Second, the edges don’t curl. Third, they’re easy to keep clean with a quick mop-over.
Best gaming chair floor mats
The best place to buy gaming chair floor mats is on Amazon. These days, there are only a handful of brands selling good-quality floor mats. Most are for hard floors only, although some work on carpeted floors as well.
Cleaning is easy. Swab down with a damp mop every so often. Some models are also machine-washable (in cold water).
GTRacing floor mats
GTRacing makes some of the best cheap gaming chairs on the market. Recently, the company added five gaming chair floor mat designs. All are available on Amazon.
All are only for hard, non-carpeted floors. They work well on vinyl, concrete, laminate, and hardwood. The undersides have an anti-slip coating, while the surface is easy to clean with a damp cloth or mop.
Rectangular gaming mats
The collection includes rectangular mats sized 43″ (W) x 35″ (D) (110 cm x 90 cm). There’s a blue color-accent version, and a red one.

Rectangular office mats
These are a bit larger than the gaming mats, measuring 47″ (W) x 35″ (D) (119 cm x 90 cm). There’s a plain black version, and a grey one.
The extra-large rectangular shape of this mat is the best mat coverage you’ll find. It covers the entire chair, with plenty of coverage behind and in front of the chair as well.
