The mat looks great in our kitchen. The color (we got the blue) is rich and contrasts our wood flooring nicely. The mat is comfy and easy to clean.
One thing that was a little annoying was how pushy this company was about getting a review. I understand the importance of good reviews, but it felt desperate and needy. They included a piece of paper "from the future" urging the custom to leave them a good review. I felt it was a waste of paper and unnecessary.
You have a good product. Focus on continuing to do that.
Also, I don't know that they should be asking about "DURABILITY." I just got this mat last week. I don't know that I can accurately judge the durability of a product after such a short time.
This is a lovely gel mat. I love the texture, it's easy to clean and very comfortable. I've had several others that were significantly more expensive and not nearly as nice. I'm not the only one in the house who loves the mat. When I received it, I plopped it down on the floor in front of my kitchen sink and went out to the garage to dispose of the box. When I returned my 14 year old cat had already claimed it for himself. He has only left it to use his cat box or eat. My husband, on the other hand, is a dedicated gel mat hater and even he likes it. I think I may have to purchase another one for the cat....
This mat is absolutely a must have! We have really hard tile and my poor wife, who is an amazing cook, was constantly complaining of her feet hurting after standing and cooking for hours(we often entertain and cook large meals). I read the reviews and purchased one mat. I kid you not, within 5 minutes of trying it out, I immediately bought a second for the sink side of the counter. The mat appears very sturdy and thick. We’ve purchased mats before from home depot and these mats by far exceed them in comfort and sturdiness. Husbands - if your wife spends lots of time cooking you hot meals - do you both a favor and buy her one of these, she will love you for it!
I ordered this for my daughter as a Christmas present. When it arrived it was folded in the middle and it had a crease. I let it lay flat on the floor for a few days, hoping the crease will come out. But it didn't. There wasn't enough time to send it back to Amazon and get a new one for Christmas. I e-mailed Sky Home Products, wondering if there is anything I could do to get the crease out of the mat. They contacted me and said they will send me a new mat, for free and I could keep the damaged one. Now this is customer service. I did not expected this. If I ever need a new mat, this is the only company I would buy from. They really impressed me. Not only did I get a new mat, but it arrived Christmas Eve. My daughter loves the mat, she has it in her kitchen. We kept the damaged one and put it in the garage. My husband don't mind the crease. He has back problems and this mat helps him standing up longer, working on his little project. I've seen other reviews where people said this mat smells bad. No smell here, not even a little bit. I am very happy with my purchase and very happy with the customer service.
The mat is divine. It's like standing on a mattress. There was ZERO odor when unwrapped, and I am very sensitive to odors. It was shipped rolled up, yet instantly rolled out flat on the floor. I bought the black, 2 x 6, for my galley kitchen. I have a terra cotta tile floor, but the black was the perfect choice given that all of my appliances are black. The mat covers my primary counter space and the sink; however, although it's very secure and unslippable, if I need stand at the stove to stir a risotto for 20 minutes or a roux for 40 minutes, I can just push the mat to the stove side with my foot. I cook a lot, I bake a lot, I spill a lot, but I'm amazed that the mat picks up so little--and anything it does I can just wipe off with a paper towel. I really love this mat. I wish I had bought one years ago!
I bought these mats in 2 sizes to replace my worn and curling mats I had purchased from a well known bed and bath retailer. My old mats were becoming a safety hazard due to everyone tripping over the curled edges.
These mats are much thicker and I love that there is a tapered edge. The edges are flush with my floor. These mats stay put, no sliding around. They are much thicker and have more cushion than my previous mats, but remain easy to step on....no tripping over them!
Clean up is easy too. My sister in law broke them in for me with bacon grease. I was worried at first that the grease might leave a stain, but it cleaned right up!
I am thrilled with the quality. They seem very well made. They were shipped to me flat so no wrinkles like other mats I reviewed before ordering. I am looking forward to many years of use from these mats! I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the market for a quality mat!
I purchased a 20x32x3/4-Inch, Blue Diamonds Pattern Anti Fatigue Comfort Floor Mat, this was the smallest of the 3 size options and it is ideal for use while standing with an desktop sit/stand desk riser. The design is as described, but note that the mat is more sky blue with turquoise undertones in the background of the navy blue design. So if you're interested in more of a "navy blue" take this into consideration. However, it's PRETTY (any woman who likes a little wow factor will love it). I have no complaints, as the product arrived ahead of schedule, it was boxed nicely in an "un-bendable" box, and was ready for use right out of the box. I have only been utilizing the mat for 30 minutes, but it is a comfortable high quality mat, and it does not slip or slide on the floor. I have not had to clean the mat yet, but to touch it can easily be wiped off with a damp cloth. Time will tell how well it helps with standing comfort, but with 45 minutes of use I would say it's worth the purchase. Enjoy!
After trying one of these mats in the US I was sure I wouldn't be able to find them in the UK. Imagine how overjoyed I was to find this! This mat takes so much pressure off my back and I find I can stand for much longer to prepare food, do the ironing and other standing tasks.
Don't be fooled when you stand on it the first time, it is only when you step off that you realise just how much pressure is absorbed by the mat and just how hard the floor feels beneath your feet without it. I am just waiting for them to make shoes with soles like this!
Amanda Ricci—buy this mat: SAVE the world!
As for the mat. Well, it is very comfortable and seems super-durable. I have bad feet and this little baby is just what they need. I stand on it for a few hours each day and it really makes a difference.
Super speedy delivery.. Great seller with great sense of humour, much appreciated.
Won't be using mat officially until after Xmas and back at work (standing desk mat) but it's currently in my kitchen and helping whilst I'm doing Xmas baking.
Only observation so far is it does seem to move across carpet, but then it's easy enough to move back. Much lighter weight than previous one at old employers, but seems to have same density and level of 'squidginess' for good support.
Edit: 2yrs later, and I'm still standing on it at my desk for 8hrs a day. Everyone who comes to see me asks to 'have a stand' too
