Great Wave Desk Mat

A 31.5 by 11.8 in printed desk mat, 2 mm thick, with a stitched edge and a natural rubber base. A desk mat is the cheapest way to change how a desk looks and the only one that also does something. It gives the mouse a consistent surface, stops a cold desktop against your forearms, and keeps the keyboard from sliding. Eight printed designs, all the same size and construction.

Features and benefits

• 31.5 x 11.8 in — takes a full-size keyboard and a mouse with room to move.
• Stitched edge — sewn all the way round, so the surface layer cannot lift or fray at the corner.
• Natural rubber base — grips the desk rather than travelling with the mouse.
• 2 mm thick — enough to be comfortable under the wrists without raising the keyboard.
• Soft fabric surface — consistent tracking for optical and laser mice.
• Eight designs — same mat, eight prints.

Specifications

Before you order

Measure the free depth of your desk. At 11.8 in this mat sits comfortably in front of a monitor stand on a standard 24 to 30 in deep desk, but it will not clear a deep monitor foot on a shallow one.

Good to know

Printed mats are spot-clean only. Wipe with a damp cloth and let it dry flat; a washing machine will lift the print and soften the rubber backing.

Common questions

What size is the desk mat?

31.5 by 11.8 inches, which is 800 by 300 mm, and 2 mm thick. That takes a full-size keyboard and a mouse with room to move.

Will it slide around on my desk?

No. The underside is natural rubber, which grips the desk rather than travelling with the mouse.

Can I wash it?

Spot clean only. Wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry flat. A washing machine will lift the print and soften the rubber backing.

Will the edges fray?

The edge is stitched all the way round, which stops the fabric surface lifting or fraying at the corners the way a heat-sealed edge does.

How many designs are there?

Eight. Same mat, same size, same construction, eight prints.
