It’s not just a desk pad.
It’s a vibe.
A temperature.
An experience.
A boundary for being productive.
And it sure beats the $5 IKEA cork mat that I was using prior to upgrading to the Grovemade desk pad.
We spend countless hours in our home office, especially since many of us now work from home, full-time.
So having an optimal and enjoyable setup is vital to your health and well-being.

My Grovemade Desk Pad Pick
I chose the extra large wool felt desk pad for my workspace. There are, of course, other sizes:
I chose extra large because I wanted the bulk of my desk covered. Also, because I have the Grovemade desk shelf it only makes sense to have that resting on top of a desk pad.
You, on the other hand, may only want a dedicated pad for your mouse and keyboard or perhaps a little bigger to include your laptop or monitor.
In addition to the size, I chose the wool felt pad. The other two options, premium leather (Wickett & Craig Premium Vegetable-Tanned American Leather) and matte (natural linoleum made from linseed oil, pine rosin, wood flour and calcium carbonate), are high quality but just didn’t fit what I was looking for in my office. There’s also a tan desk pad in the leather option.
The Grovemade desk pad is made of premium 3mm thick virgin Merino wool felt. It’s soft. It’s warm. And if you’re wondering as I was before owning it, it’s not itchy 😁.
