HappyTrends 2 PCS Kitchen Mat Cushioned Anti-Fatigue Floor

Easy to clean
When I first got the product yes there was a slight crease in the mats but went away quickly. I love the feel of them because I have bad knees so standing long periods helps with the pain while doing my dishes. Also when they look dirty just wipe up with soap and water or something wet. It saves on having to put them in the washing machine to wash like normal rugs.

Great, but too narrow
I wish I had gotten these a long time ago. Who knew?!I’ve had a 14% disability in my lower back since 2015. It’s not bad enough to be disabled, it’s just bad enough to cause extreme pain. When I cook a full meal, my back hurts so much that I don’t have an appetite when I’m done. I typically cook on Friday to prepare for the Sabbath and Holy Day (Sunday), non cooking days. I’m on my feet all day and I’m out of commission for the next 24 – 48 hours. I’ve hesitated to get stress mats for the kitchen because my husband is likely to trip and fall on them. For some time now, kitchen appliances and tasks have become a danger zone for him and he’s no longer allowed in the kitchen. I finally realized the risk is minimal, so I ordered the stress mats.Oh my gosh! What a difference they make. There is no reason to suffer backache or even a tired back and legs and feet. I have authentic hardwood flooring in the kitchen, meaning, real wood and no concrete subfloor, so the best type of floor for standing a long time. I can feel a big difference between spending most of the day on the concrete slab part of the house and the hardwood part of the house. If you work, you’re probably on concrete all day, then you go home and you’re still on concrete all evening. The day will come when you suffer what concrete flooring is doing to your spine. I know home floors feel like relief but they aren’t doing less damage to your body. If you are standing or sitting with your feet on the floor, get the mats.I wouldn’t use a standard vacuum on the mats, too harsh. A stick vacuum works better, lighter and still effective. You can wipe the mats down with a cloth and mild detergent (Dawn & water sprayed on) Easy to care for. There’s a little factory stink when the mats are first opened, but the smell dissipates pretty quick.I have gray, non-skid rugs in the kitchen. When I was reviewing the mats, I had taken rug measurements so I would know the size mats I wanted. My rugs are 20×30 and 20×60, there are no mats in those sizes, and smaller anything doesn’t suit me. I bought the closest size available and I placed the mats under the rugs, gray rugs and gray mats. The reason I did it that way is two fold. I don’t care for the industrial look of the mats and the rugs are about 3″ wider and I want the wider. I have a size 6 foot and the 17″ width of the mats doesn’t give me the foot print width that I want when I turn or step as I work. We have an awareness as we step from one surface to another, 20″ provides a comfortable step pattern as I step from floor to rugs/mats. A few inches can make a big difference between unconscious walking around the kitchen and having to be mindful of the edge of the mats.The mats have an idea thickness for comfort and fluid movement. I don’t want to sink into a mat with every step and I do want cushioned comfort when I’m standing in the same place for awhile. I weigh 90 pounds, so I considered my weight vs. the thickness of the mats. I almost forgot to mention, the mats disappear completely under the rugs and it doesn’t look weird, prefect.Yeah, I might be an over thinker, but I try to get it right the first time so I don’t have to deal with dissatisfaction and returns. I also like to provide informative reviews so you can consider my perspective with your needs.The only feature against these mats is, they need to be at least 3″ wider. I don’t stand at my refrigerator, but I would have preferred a 3-piece set for consistency (a mat to go in front of my fridge so it will look the same as the other two rugs/mats).

Alright
So I had very high hopes for these but they were a little bit of a let down. For one the way they have them packaged so tightly in a roll like a poster one of them has very deep lines/creases in it (multiple) that have not gone away and it’s been weeks and I’ve tried vacuuming it flat, standing on them, rubbing them out, and no luck so it makes me kind of embarrassed to even have it in my kitchen for when guests come over. They also are not super thick or comfortable, I mean it’s more comfortable then standing on the bare floor however not by much and these def wouldn’t get you through a long period of standing like some of the other mats I’ve used in the past. I knew I shouldn’t have tried the cheaper way out by getting these at a low price for 2 of them, I should have spent the 10$ extra for ones a little better but lesson learned

I got what was in the picture.
Good mats. Held up to cats.

Me encantó el producto, vienen 2 tapetes en el set. Buena calidad

Es bonito y muy cómodo para cocinar y, sobre todo, para lavar platos. No tienes porque tener una cocina grande, cabe perfectamente frente a la estufa y el fregadero. Mantiene el piso limpio y los pies descansados. Su mantenimiento es mínimo, yo lo trapeo junto con el piso y ya.

Lo uso para trabajar en mi escritorio elevado
