I’ve been trying this mat out for a week and think it’s time to write a review.

This mat is the perfect size for the corner of my kitchen, at my kitchen sink. I’ve really been wanting something that will provide a little cushion and help relieve foot and knee pain while standing at the sink. Unfortunately, food prep and dishes never stop coming, so this is a good investment.

I’ve tried to find other cushioned floor mats in the past but encountered two major issues:
1. They are too thick or too soft! No joke here people, as I am a klutz and will catch my foot on mats that are too cushioned or too thick.
2. Most mats are too large for my area. I like the mat to be just the right size for the area I am using it in. I do not want it to partially encroach in to another area (for example: my stove is just next to the sink and I would not want it to cover just a portion of that area). Again, I need a consistent surface depending on where I am working, in order not to trip myself, because I am a klutz!

This mat came rolled and had some creases when unrolled, but they disappear quickly once laid out. It also smells of new plastic when opened, but that smell disappeared quickly. I like the design and grey color of the mat, as it goes with everything and the white design draws the eye, so that you don’t forget you are stepping on a different type of surface and lose your balance (again, me=klutz). I have a robot vacuum that has no problem going over the mat, nor does it leave any scuffs or scrapes. The mat also wipes clean easily when something drips on to it. I will try my steam mop on the mat next time I have it out to see if it can handle heat.

All in all, this is an ideal mat for me and I’m glad I made the purchase.

 I love it!! It came very well packaged, rolled securely with plastic bands that held it curled. It has a soft texture and it has a firm support inside to stand on. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and I look forward to standing on my mat! It has a thick outer layer so it will be really durable, and the under side has a grip to it so it won't slide around. I was forever repositioning my old kitchen rug but this new one is awesome. If I had to find a critique, it could be a bit wider. The length is great for coverage. I want to order another for my bathroom! I would highly recommend this mat!

These kitchen rugs are amazing!!!! All I can say is they not only look great a in my kitchen, but they are comfortable and are so much better ok my arthritic knees than our other rugs. I'm 35 and do all the cooking for my wife and kids. I hate shoes in the kitchen but also hate no rugs. Then to make it worse, most rugs must be cleaned in the wash. These clean with a broom and mop like the rest of the floors. The pictures and description are exactly what I got. They do come rolled tight, so give it about 12 to 24 hours to completely flatten out and puff up.

 I was really impressed with this mat. It was packaged very well for travel so that it didn’t get scuffed at all. It was strapped to keep it round, wrapped in plastic, and the box was padded to keep it from moving around too much. The mat itself had some curl to it when I first unwrapped it, but it flattened out pretty quickly right away and entirely by the morning. The size is perfect for in front of a sink or stove where you won’t be needing coverage in front of an entire counter. The backing of the mat is a great material that keeps it from sliding at all, but it isn’t sticky and doesn’t leave any residue on the floor. The color of the mat is a very light grey – more of a cool grey than warm grey. Under my harsh kitchen lighting it looked even more of a cool grey. There was a minimal odor to it, unlike some I have purchased. The top material has a slight texture – enough to provide some traction, but not so much that you can’t clean it thoroughly. The best part of the mat is the cushioning it provides. It is firm, but has just enough give that you feel the relief in your legs/knees/feet. Some mats I have purchased are almost too soft and lose their effectiveness quickly as they compress. I don’t think this one will do that. Overall I am pleased with this product.

My husband and I love this kitchen mat! I'm currently pregnant and my back hurts if I stand in one place for too long. This relieves the pressure on my body and allows me to get more done. My husband is an avid cook and also enjoys the added cushioning, especially when he's making time-intensive meals. Very comfortable. The material is sturdy and easy to wipe, a must with our 3 year-old who is eager to help in the kitchen but drops food constantly. There were no issues upon arrival, it came quickly and was packaged really well so that there were no scuffs or rips. I was relieved that it didn't have a strong fresh-from-the-factory scent, since I'm extra sensitive to smells as a pregnant woman. The lines are crisp and clean, the cold grey and white colors are saturated (just enough) on a slightly textured surface. The mat looks like it was manufactured with care and seems dense enough to last- unlike our previous mats that were too soft, sticky, or fuzzy. It is an appreciated addition to our home and a pregnancy life-saver!

I absolutely love this mat. I opted for the longer one so it would cover the sink to prep area to stove. It’s perfect. I’m going to order the smaller one too for in front of stove. I spend countless hours a day in this L shape of my kitchen and this mat is the perfect addition. It’s super soft, easily cleans messes and I dropped a glass bowl on it and it didn’t break! Highly recommend.
