MOLMO Non-Slip Desk Mat (Waterproof) with Suede Backing, 80 x 40 cm in Grayish Lavendar
Product description
The essentials
If you’re forever finding tiny scratches on your desk, or you just want a calmer, more organised workspace, the MOLMO Non-Slip Desk Mat is the kind of everyday add-on that makes sense. It’s a large desk pad designed to sit flat under your laptop setup and protect the surface while still feeling smooth and controlled where you use your mouse.
On paper, it ticks a few practical boxes: a non-slip suede underside to help it stay put, a waterproof leather-look top made from PVC leather, and an easy wipe-clean surface. It’s also positioned as a mouse pad as much as a desk protector, so you’re not just covering the desk—you’re getting a work area that feels consistent under your hand.
Key points
This mat is single-sided, with the suede on the bottom focused on grip. That matters if your workspace is on a surface that tends to “grab” poorly or if you move your mouse a lot and don’t want the pad creeping across the desk.
The top material is described as resisting scratches, heat, stains and spills. The waterproof angle is especially useful for day-to-day accidents—think of a coffee cup that ends up a little too close, or the occasional splash. Cleaning is kept simple: wipe with a damp cloth, and it’s said to dry quickly.
Because it’s large and laid out for office-style use, it can cover more than just the laptop. The idea is that you can place your laptop, mouse, keyboard and even a phone on top without constantly rearranging.
Where it shines
A big part of why this mat is worth considering is the combination of protection and control. The leather surface is described as allowing the mouse to glide smoothly, with “precise control” for tracking.
In real-life terms, you’re likely to notice this during longer sessions: your wrist and mouse hand rest on the same surface every time, and your mouse movement stays consistent instead of feeling like it’s gliding over a changing texture. It’s also the sort of setup that feels tidy—one uniform surface instead of scattered pads and coasters.
If you’re using it in an office or at home as a writing/desk space, the suede-backed grip helps keep the mat aligned so you’re not constantly nudging it back into position.
What you should know before buying
A couple of points to consider. First, this is single-sided suede only on the underside, so you shouldn’t expect a “soft” top feel like some fabric mats—your interaction surface is the leather-look PVC leather.
Second, while the mat is described as waterproof and resistant to everyday messes, it still helps to be sensible with spills. Waterproof usually means you can wipe it up, not that it’s designed to be left soaking.
Finally, it comes in a large format (80 x 40 cm), which is great for coverage, but it may feel oversized if your desk is small or if you prefer a minimal footprint.

Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It’s a good fit if you want a single mat that protects your desk while also acting as a comfortable, smooth mouse surface for office/home use. It suits people setting up a laptop-and-mouse workflow who care about the mat staying in the same place.
It might not be for you if you prefer a fabric-only feel for mouse glide, or if you don’t need full desk coverage and would rather buy a smaller pad. Also, if your desk is already heavily scratch-protected (for example by a dedicated desk surface you’re fully happy with), this could be more than you strictly need.
Worth considering if you like the idea of a neat, wipe-clean work zone where your laptop, keyboard, phone and mouse can live together.
Mini FAQ
Is it easy to clean?

Will it slide around on the desk?
It’s designed not to slip thanks to the suede underside, which provides grip to keep the pad in a precise position.
Can I use it as a mouse pad?
Yes—on the leather surface, the mouse is said to glide smoothly for precise control.
What size desk setup does 80 x 40 cm cover?
It’s intended for a fairly broad workspace, suitable for a laptop and mouse (and also keyboard/phone and even a cup within the covered area).
Final verdict
Should you buy it? If you want one practical, wipe-clean mat that protects against the usual desk problems—scratches, stains and accidental spills—while still giving you a consistent mouse surface, the MOLMO Non-Slip Desk Mat is a sensible pick for everyday work.
Skip it if your priority is a very specific mouse-pad feel (like softer fabric), or if 80 x 40 cm is bigger than you need. For most desk setups, though, this kind of protection-plus-control combination is exactly what makes a desk mat feel like more than decoration.
