Has anyone used these in a kitchen as an anti-fatigue mat?

Yes, I have used it to cover my entire kitchen, and it is absolutely great. I even gave some to a friend that says it is very comfortable under foot. I actually take my shoes off because it is that comfortable.

These mats are super in the kitchen and look great too. My house has no carpeting and I use the mats for warmth as well as for adding a cushion layer under the feet. They are durable as well.

We do home shows and my team is on their feet for several hours on concrete floors. They would complain about back and feet pain until I bought these mats for the booth flooring. Now they can work up to 7 hours without any fatigue or pain. I would recommend this product as an anti-fatigue mat! Not only do they feel good, but we are the envy of all the other vendors!

I don't think it will work in the kitchen. It is pretty gentle and great for a toddler's play area but too gentle for the heavy traffic, dirt and moisture of a kitchen.

they work nice for anti-fatigue, just don't set any furniture on them or anything heavy, it will leave marks and indents. on the other hand if you spill something, very easy clean up.

Non, but it a good idea . I would say for the confort it will be better . I found some anti-fatigue to soft.

I find them very comfortable. Could be used daily for meals. Would make an ideal substitute for a kitchen chair. I have only used them for holiday meals which usually last for 1-2 hours.

I have bought 3 of them and am using them in the kitchen. It seems that they would work very well for a standing desk.

No I haven't, but I think they would work. They are pretty large though for indoors.

Yes. That is what I make and use the mat for. I thought the mat was awesome.

The mats warm a little from the item that you are cooking, but nothing significant. I purchased this mat because it was larger in diameter than one I was using. This mat was about half the thickness, and wrinkled on the edge (like the picture) during use. That annoyed me so much that I went back to my original mat, made by Roshco, which is still in my microwave. You can also use the all silicon trivets as microwave mats. Hope this helps.

Hi. These mats are very thin for heavy equipment. They should work as far as preventing the floor from scratching, but in my opinion, you would need a thicker mat for exercise equipment.

Absolutely. I find it more useful compare to yoga mats, which are usually narrower and thinner. The top surface of the mats are slightly corrugated so it is not slippery when you do workouts. It is both firm and cushioning. I built an area about 6'x10'. They can be quickly put away in less than two minutes.

I have used old kitchen towels... as long as they are not very thick... they work great!

I got these for an uncle who was in a retirement facility and has now passed away. Their floors were mostly carpet & linoleum. They didn't harm the linoleum, BUT if the user needs a lot of support and puts extra pressure on the handles, I can see where you might be concerned. They do better and last longer than the tennis ball scenarios, and for sure are a lot more stable than other options. THey are relative cheep, you might just have to try them and if they scratch stop. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I don't know a good answer to that. Once you get used to using the mat, you are not as aware of the current. I did not buy the sheets. I would assume the little "wires" in the fabric would get brittle or soft with use and washing. I think the mat would be the longer lasting. I do not use the cover with it. It doesn't bother me to be in contact with the mat. I like it, and I think the numbness and tingling in my fingers and toes/hands and feet has improved some in the months I've been sleeping with my feet/calves on it. The mat is very similar to a mouse pad in texture, thickness and flexibility. I don't know a good answer to that. Once you get used to using the mat, you are not as aware of the current.

They are very flimsy. I personally would not use them for that. At best,you would a need napkin to shield the heat.

I am using it as a static worksurface mat and it is very dense and durable. If your machine has pad feet and I'm no engineer, but if you put down a sheet of material( phenolic, plywood or metal) to increase the surface area of your machine it would vertually last forever and would absorb a large amount of your vibration problem. I think it would work great!

I have my mat in my kitchen over hardwood floor and have had no issues with any damage to the flooring. It is a high quality mat.

I've mostlly used them on carpet for exercise...are you talking matts? Or hardwood? They scratch pretty easily, and are much less useful/slick once they have.

The Sofa Scram Mat, in my opinion, will not work on such a surface. They look exactly as depicted in the photo and are relatively thin plastic and rather slick. They would slide on counters. Attaching them might cause them to malfunction. They are fairly long but not wide enough to cover a typical counter. It is worth a try, but I don't think you'll have consistent success with it on a counter.
