About the Oakywood Felt & Cork Desk Mat XL (Anthracite)

Oakywood's Felt & Cork mat replaces the usual polyester felt with 100% merino wool felt, which feels warm and soft under the wrists, absorbs moisture and resists odors. A 0.8 mm natural cork layer underneath stops it from sliding, and the whole mat is only 3 mm thick, so it looks flat and clean on a wooden or white desk. The XL size, 100 x 40 cm, takes a full keyboard, a mouse and a pad or notebook side by side.

It is made in Oakywood's workshop in Poland and covered by a five-year warranty. Wool is a natural material, so the shade can vary slightly and Oakywood itself warns that light pilling may appear with daily use. The thin felt is pleasant for office work, but it is not as consistent for fast gaming as a dedicated cloth mat.

Seen in these setups

Where it sits in real desks, and why it earned its place there.

Bright home office in afternoon light: a white Dell 32-inch monitor on a black Ergotron arm above a FlexiSpot standing desk with a bamboo top, a BenQ ScreenBar Pro and an Insta360 Link 2 webcam on top of the screen, wood-sided Edifier speakers on each side, a graphite Logitech keyboard and mouse on a gray felt mat, a black Sihoo mesh chair in front and a window with sheer curtains on the left

Quiet Hours

Why it is here

Merino wool felt on cork softens the sound of the keyboard on the desk and keeps the wrists off the bamboo. At 100 x 40 cm it covers the whole work zone.
