Anti Fatigue Floor Mat for kitchen

Starpolisher — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 01:08:20 GMT

Would like recommendations for an anti fatigue floor mat for in front of my sink. The one I have now is from Paula Dean. I got it years ago from Evine. I love it! It still feels cushiony but has started to wear and no longer looks nice. These are no longer made. Would love to hear which ones you like.

I got mine from Amazon, there are lots of mats to choose from.

The first two mats I purchased were GelPro mats. I paid over $100 a piece for them. They wore out quickly and I decided they were too expensive for what they were.

I saw some mats in Costco and they were reasonable, so I bought one. That one was so much cheaper, and has not shown any wear at all....and it's comfortable.

I would highly recommend the mats at Costco.

@Starpolisher I got one here and it was great but after about 5 years it started to look old. I tried a couple of cheap ones and they flattened quickly and did nothing. The one I have now is from BB&B. While you might be able to find a cheap one that is ok, I would say buy a good one. Also, check if Paula Dean still sells them since you liked that one.

Costco. I use 3,front of sink,stove and prep counters. They are great and not wearing out at all. But they only had brown textured choices.

Extra thick Yoga mat from Target for less than $30. Much less expensive than the gel kitchen mats. I've had it 10+ years, and it looks brand new. Love it.

Thanks for the suggestions! @spud188 , @Pook , @Carmie They no longer make the Paula Dean mat.

I'm considering one of these. The first one is from Costco and the second one is from BBB. Any suggestions as to which is better?

The GelPro for me was more comfortable, but it split at the seams and the material cracked before it was a year old. So, I purchased another one...did the same thing.

I had the Elite Basketweave. Mine were around $125 each. I purchased the next size up than the standard.

The Costco mat I have had for around two years. It looks brand new, no cracking and splitting. I even clean it with my Bissell Crosswave with no problems. It is comfortable, but not quite as soft as the GelPro.

There are reviews on the GelPro website where many people have had the same problems as I did. I liked the comfort, but not the durability.

I purchased one of these at Costco, it was well made. my problem was it was a tripping hazard. I almost killed myself a few times and my DH tripped at night and went down. We are both too old to fall like that. We threw the rug out.

@godi : That’s my concern. I really need something at th kitchen sink but afraid of tripping and falling. I had a bad fall in the kitchen last year with no rugs. I was standing up one minute and turn to the right and ended on the floor. Southern Bee

@Starpolisher I bought quite a few for the kitchen at amazon, four years later just as good as when I bought them. You would have to put a nonskid liner underneath or they will slide around, also sold at amazon.

@Starpolisher

Just found this mat over the weekend at Walmart on clearance.

Was $64 reduced to only $17, price on bottom in yellow.

I got the last one at our Walmart, if you are near any it's worth a

try to check and see if any remain.

Thanks everyone!

I ordered the one from Costco...so we'll see!

@threecees

Wish I had seen your post sooner! Will still check them out. A Walmart is right down the street from me.

My friend has one of these in her kitchen. At her last party, I must have tripped over that mat at least three times.

This is not something I want in my home.

I have a Pure LUX brown anti-fatigue mat -- 20" x 36" -- that I purchased from Costco around 3 yrs ago. It's in front of my kitchen sink - on my tile floor - so it slips a little. But - it's the best. It's still on-line and the price is $39.99 - several colors -and free shipping. They also have a larger size as well.

The only anti-fatigue mat I know that works if having the husband or kids or maid/cook do the cleaning up and cooking or dine out. Otherwise wearing supportive shoes while you do the washing up and use an actual "anti-fatigue" mat will do it. The supportive shoes really do make a difference. I'm bad about being barefoot around the house; as soon as I come home the shoes come off. In the winter as well since I wear house socks. I have some Vionic slippers I wear when I'm doing housework like that and some Vionic and Clark flip flops that I wear in the warmer weather.
