Choosing the right desk pad can be a difficult task. There are so many different shapes, sizes, and colours that it is easy to get overwhelmed with all of your options. To simplify things, we have put together this guide on how to choose the best desk pad for you!

Always consider your desk pad's size. You want it to cover as much of your desk surface area as possible, so measuring the dimensions of your desk is important before buying one.

If you like having room on each side of you where you can place papers and objects without them falling onto the floor, then make sure that there will be ample space for this!

It never hurts to buy a larger model than necessary; if it doesn't fit perfectly in its designated spot right now but could comfortably find an alternate location somewhere else in your office (e.g., under another table), go ahead and get yourself something extra-large! Once again considering our example above, you don't want to end up with an oversized desk pad that extends beyond your table's surface area.

A related concern is the thickness of the material, which should be neither too thick (so that it raises your keyboard and/or mousepad off of your tabletop) nor too thin (so that it flexes or warps under pressure).

A good standard for this measurement is about 0.25 inches -- not so flimsy as to feel like cardboard but not so rigid as to obscure objects underneath. Note: if you regularly place heavy items on top of your desk pad, such as books or cups full of liquid, then a thicker model may prove more useful than one made out of common materials!

When choosing between different types of desk pad, always take into account the style you are looking for. If your tastes run more towards modern simplicity or sleek minimalism, then a glass desk mat might be just what you need to complete that space! These styles are very popular in today's market because they offer an elegant look at a reasonable price (though still not cheap by any stretch).

If you like having something with some personality and character on your work surface, consider choosing one made out of wood -- either solid timber or composite materials! There is nothing quite like having natural elements right where you spend most of your day; wooden desk mats also tend to be much sturdier than their transparent counterparts.

There are many different designs when it comes to this type of desk accessory, but we recommend considering a clock or calendar feature if you work with time and/or dates on a regular basis. Even small details like these can help make your office space feel comfortable for the long haul!

When it comes down to it, comfort is key and that’s what you should be looking at first before anything else. You want your desk pad to feel soft against your legs as well as being able to provide support under them on those long days spent sitting in front of a computer screen!
