1. Yumeko - Rosy Sunset Waifu Desk Mat
The colors on this one are stunning. Reviewing it, I love how the warm sunset tones wrap around the scene combined with the rainbow behind the girl; giving your desk a dreamy, peaceful glow. Plus, the anime waifu art is subtle yet captivating; without feeling forced or overpowering. She truly is a beauty.

2. Yumeko - Lantern Sky Desk Mat
If you’re after soft, classic anime, steampunk vibes, this is it. The lantern-lit sky paired with the elegant character design feels like a peaceful festival frozen in time. The whole Yumeko collection has quickly become one of my favorite desk mat/mousepad collections. The nostalgia, the colors, the artwork. It just all blends together so well.

3. Nihonga - Watcher in the Woods Desk Mat
Speaking of desk mats I just can't get enough of, this one is dark, elegant, and mysterious at the same time. The Nihonga desk mat/mousepad collection is absolutely beautiful and worth every penny. These mats are clearly designed with the genius idea of blending traditional Japanese paintings with steampunk/horror vibes. This one feels like you’re peering into a secret Japanese forest, except its not a forest, and there's a mystical Japanese monster just floating above your head. It has a gothic, moody flair that adds real atmosphere to any setup. I have so many words for this one but I think I'll stop here. Honestly I could make a whole list about the Nihonga mats.

4. Nihonga - Phantom Petals & Mourning Willow Desk Mat
If had to choose one desk mat that would visually explain what Nihonga is, this one is absolutely it! This desk mat hits a perfect balance between beauty and melancholy. The intricate detailing in the petals and willows gives it depth you don’t see every day. I already spoke enough about the Nihonga collection, but I feel like Mourning Willow is simply an absolute masterpiece. Not only can you use it as both a desk mat or mousepad, but it captures that Nihonga Japanese painting vibe perfectly. Highly recommended.

5. Cute Blonde Gamer Girl in White Lingerie Desk Mat
This desk mat is what you get when you try to combine gamer girls, sexy waifus, and wholesome art all into one mat. I have to say, it absolutely works! This one’s got a playful, cheeky charm. The gamer girl design feels casual yet flirty, and the white lingerie art really pops against darker desk setups. By just looking at it, you really do feel like the artist wants you to feel like you're right there in bed with her playing video games. The vibes are just amazing, and there's enough of a blend of realism and fantasy to really hit the spot. The details of everything from her socks to her body, combined with her hilarious expression really all come together to form a desk mat masterpiece.

6. Hana No Uta - Golden Petals Desk Mat
If you're like me, then you probably bought this desk mat because you're a big fan of floral/gardening waifus. Well, this deskmat/mousepad is floral beauty at its finest. Reviewing this mat feels like walking through a sunlit garden in full bloom, but with that signature anime twist we love. The best part? The colors somehow go great in every room. If you can't decide which mousepad/deskmat you want to go buy, then this one is a safe but beautiful choice.

This mat is royalty. The glowing sunset colors paired with the regal cat princess art make it an absolute statement piece for your desk. Her royal cadence and the beautiful, warm sunset colors make this one a catch. I honestly wish they would make more of these, because there's definitely huge potential here.

8. Sleepover Secrets - Lewd Girls in Bed Desk Mat
If you're looking for something romantic, or you're thinking about gifting someone a desk mat or mousepad, then I think you might have possibly found what you're looking for. This one absolutely nothing short of a gorgeous piece of art on a desk mat. It's almost as if whoever made this personally drew these on every mat. I mean the warm colors, the ambience, the romance, the tension. Not to mention the beautiful anime girls who just can't seem to get enough of each other. It's spicy but tasteful and sophisticated! This one has a playful energy that makes your desk feel like it’s part of the scene. Highly recommended for fans of romantic and steamy anime artwork.

9. Night Ride - Cat-Eared Waifu Desk Mat
If you want a little cyberpunk, neon flair, this is perfect. Reviewing this one, I love how the city skyline glows behind her, giving it a modern, cyber-inspired aesthetic. The waifu art is subtle but powerful; something about her eyes and the way she looks at you is amazing. This is one of those desk mat/mousepads that you kind of leaves you wishing for more; not because anything is wrong with it, but because you can clearly see there's so much potential with this character and this type of artwork. Lets see her dance, play, climb, do waifu things lol. I guess what I'm asking for is for them to get more creative with this specific deisgn, because its definitely worth expanding upon.

10. Lewd Turtle Nun Desk Mat
Yup, I was definitely saving the craziest for last! Excuse my language, but this is one wild ass playmat. I mean who comes up with these. A nun and a giant turtle, huh? I mean who the heck would have thought this would work? Because whoever they are, they were absolutely right. This desk mat is absolutely worth any penny purely based off of the wild artwork. Frankly, this is why I love checking out Best Playmats, because they are the only ones that are actually bold enough to come up with new, custom designs like this. I think every other mousepad/desk mat store should take note of this. Hell no I'm not paying $50 + shipping for an all-black mat with some squiggly lines on it. Give me the goddamn sexy nun and her pet giant turtle. That's what I'm here for. This mat is playful, cheeky, and unapologetically wild. It’s one of those designs that sparks a conversation every time. The only downside is the white background, meaning this is better at decorating your work, room, or study setup then actually being used as a desk mat. (Unless you're super good at keeping these things clean, which admittedly isn't that difficult to do since they literally give you instructions.)
