A surface designed for placement beneath a seating device used at a workstation, engineered to prevent movement. These surfaces typically feature a high-friction material on the underside to grip the floor, inhibiting sliding or shifting during use. The upper surface is often smooth or textured to accommodate chair movement without impedance while remaining durable and easy to clean.
Employing such a device enhances user safety and productivity. By preventing chair movement, the risk of accidental falls or posture adjustments is minimized, contributing to sustained comfort and focus. The stable base it provides supports ergonomic posture, reducing strain on the back and neck. Historically, rudimentary versions were employed to protect flooring, but advancements have led to designs optimized for stability and user well-being.
