Collection: Cork Desk Mats

Is Cork Good for a Desk Mat?

Cork has many great qualities, and a cork desk mat is an excellent choice that is sure to enhance your workspace.

Importantly, its natural resilience and soft texture are very effective in shielding your desk from scratches or stains. Cork’s smooth surface is also comfortable for writing and for using a mouse, being as functional as it is stylish.

Additionally, cork is a sustainable and natural material, perfect for those looking to add a touch of nature to their office or home desk.

How Do I Choose a Cork Desk Mat?

There is quite a bit of room for choice, and it all depends on your personal taste and needs.

Consider the size of your workspace. For a large cork desk mat, our Natural Cork Pad offers comfortable room for your computer, mouse or documents. However, if you have a smaller desk, or are planning more specific tasks, and prefer a small cork desk mat, the Natural Cork & Rubber Pad or the Terrazzo Cork & Rubber Pad are a bit more compact. The rubber is recycled, so they’re still eco-friendly. 

Finally, for a premium option, check out our Twist Cork Desk Pad, with a texture that stops your laptop from sliding and is full of rustic charm.

For more specific uses, there is also the very practical Desk Organiser and the Round Mouse Pad.

Are Cork Mats Easy to Clean?

Yes, very much so: simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any dirt or stains.

Cork's natural resistance to dust and allergens contributes to making these mats a low-maintenance option, perfect for keeping your workspace neat and tidy.
