This mat is the perfect size for in front of the kitchen sink!
I’ve been using this mat for a few days now and got to really break it in during Thanksgiving! My husband loved it because he got stuck doing dishes at the end of the night!
There is a strong smell when you first open it, but it dissipated after about a day and the rug was flattened enough to function in a few hours.
The brown color blends in with my floors perfectly. It looks like a faux leather finish with the color having some darker and lighter spots in it.
The mat is very soft and squishy! It feels like memory foam, which is good, but in my experience memory foam mats can break down quickly especially with repetitive use. I’m hoping this mat will hold up well to the test of time and use.
It is definitely not going to be damaged by anything you might spill on it. It is very easy to wipe clean, but if you were to spill something sticky and leave it there to dry, I think it would be very difficult to clean out the grooves of the embossed trellis pattern.
I’m very happy with this mat and the price point is great! I would purchase it again.
I love to cook and bake. I'm in my mid-40's and standing on concrete or a tile floor for 6-10 hours hurts my back. Every Thanksgiving I start the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and bake pies and cheesecake, and prepare for the Thanksgiving meal. I make everything from scratch, and without any wheat so it takes a while. Usually after the 3 days of standing on tile floor, my lower back is screaming and I am exhausted by the whole experience! This year I found these on Amazon and thought why not, it might help. I ordered one initially to try it out (the 48" size). I received it on Tuesday about 1/2 way through my baking marathon, and was so pleased that I immediately ordered another one (same size) for the area in front of the stove. I received the second one 1/2 way through the second day and continued to love the results. What a huge difference these make! My lower back is not screaming, and I probably will be baking more again today because I had such a pleasant experience. I will recommend these to anyone that has to stand for long periods of time. The best part is the edges are tapered so you don't trip over them. They really cushion and alleviate the pain. Game changer! Thank you for making a wonderful product.
We ordered this mat to use in the bathroom, but ended up putting it in front of our stove. It is so cushiony and comfortable. It's pretty and so functional. I'm not saying this mat has inspired me to make elaborate meals (LOL) but I do enjoy cooking standing on it for long periods of time while I cook. We have dogs, so mats like these are great. No hair sticking to it that has to be vacuumed up or washed and then all the rubber backing comes off. It sticks to the floor so it doesn't go moving around either. So yes--great purchase you'll be happy with.
Do your feet and back hurt after standing hours in the kitchen? This is a must have! Whether you're washing all the dishes, cooking, or just doing a lot of standing, this mat alleviated my foot and back pain. The mat has a perfect gel thickness and the size is a little smaller than I expected, but it fits in front of my sink perfectly. When I first opened the plastic package, there was an odor, but it quickly dissapated and after about an hour, the mat completely flattened from being rolled up in shipping.
I also love the pattern design and gray color. It wipes easy for cleaning and is durable. Treat yourself to this ..I may be sending a few for Christmas gifts this year!
This mat feels great on your feet. It is so comfortable to stand on. I like the look of the mat as well. It is an attractive pattern and I like the muted color variation of the gray. If it were longer, we would have loved to use it in our kitchen under the sink. It is smaller than I expected, so we will use it in our basement on our concrete floor for my daughter to sit on during breaks in her online dance classes. I move around a lot in the kitchen in the area where our mat is, and the thickness of it with the smaller size wasn't ideal because I would walk on and off it a lot.
The mat stays cool to the touch, which in the summer months is great. In the colder months, I don't care to stand on something that feels cool. It had a chemical odor when I first opened it up, but that has dissipated. It stays in place well which is great. Overall, it is a great product. For me, I would like it longer to be more useful in our kitchen space.
I've had anti-fatigue mats before and would rate most of them as "okay". They did the job but I often found they would flatten after only a few month's use or the edges would curl, creating at tripping hazard. My elderly mother lives with me so any rug or mat that curls is an automatic return or toss situation.
I received this mat the day before thanksgiving and placed it in front of my oven. Needless to say, I was standing in front of that oven for 2 days off and on for probably about 10 hours total. It was comfortable throughout. I really like the texture in it, it felt good on my feet. The edges have not once curled and the mat does not slide on my tile floor. I even tried pushing it around to see if it would move, it has not. The color is also subtle and blends in with my kitchen motif. It's not difficult to clean, though it does best with a dry and then wet rag versus a vacuum or broom. I love it and plan to buy another.
My husband had previously purchased on for his stand desk and raved about how much better his back felt after using it all day. I really wanted one for the kitchen and jumped when I saw this grey one. The color is perfect for our marble floors. It is a marbled grey and looks great. The mat comes rolled up but once you unroll it overnight it flattens out perfectly. Perfectly squishy but still firm. It makes washing the dishes feel almost luxurious.
