I'm getting some cushion floor laid in a study. I went for a more expensive one which is a lot thicker than the cheaper ones. The guy at the shop said that if I used a chair in the office it would leave indents. I have cushion floor in my kitchen with no problems with my table and chairs. Just wondering if there is anything I can use to prevent any indents using a chair with wheels? Seems kind of pointless having cushion floor if you can use a bleeding chair on it!

You need wheel castor protectors, but they'd make the chair more difficult to move. Your kitchen chairs have a wide base, so a low pound per square inch pressure. The wheels on chairs have a much smaller surface area, so have a greater pressure under them.
You can get desk mats that will protect the floor, just be aware that coloured ones may discolour the vinyl. If it's a looselaid vinyl, the wheeled casters will stretch the vinyl with use without protection. The thicker the vinyl, the more susceptable to pressure it will be, thickness does not indicate greater wear, it does indicate greater comfort.
Personally I would recommend decent laminate in an area as described, much tougher and no risk of stretching and very limited denting.
