Anti fatigue mats

[kc17 622]

Anyone have them? I'm looking for the kind that interlock to cover large areas.

I'm undecided on thickness and type (pure foam, foam-rubber mix, pure rubber). I figure if the mat is too thick and dense it won't be much better than the concrete I stand on now. Too thin and it won't last or provide enough cushion.

Most of the reviews I've read on them are geared towards a gym environment. I'm looking for workshop area in my basement.

The ladies I work with all use them. They are maybe 3/4inch thick

Go to Tractor Supply and buy a horse stall mat either by the sheet or by the foot your choice. Recycled rubber that lasts and does not move.  There is a store in Allentown, NJ on Route 524

I installed some interlocking ones in my toy hauler. Purchased from homer depot. I used tin snips to cut the border.

I'd estimate they are prolly 1/2" thick and heavy.

Not super soft.

I know what you mean, I can tell when I've been on concrete all day. Maybe you should be gellen?

Like a felon?....

 

OP, this is what we buy for our production teams.

They are pretty durable (should be more than enough for a home environment) and much more comfortable than concrete.

I have these in the basement in black. Wife loves them because she hates the concrete floor. Very ez on your feet.

T Bill, you're the second person to suggest the stall mat. For some reason the TS website always gives me fits on my tablet. I know exactly where the one you referenced is, about 5 miles from me, they've gotten lots of my money already.

 

Big, I should've mentioned, I have a few of those smaller ones already. The problem with them is that they shift and curl on the edges (trip hazard).

 

John, I was looking at those and some thicker ones on Amazon as well.

Thanks for this - was looking for something to potentially use in the basement of the new house - I think this will work great.

Watch what product you get. If you put this in a confined space like a basement, you might have a terrible stink like rubber/ground up tire. Ever been in a tire warehouse?

 

You might be able to air it out in the garage for a few weeks.

I did a basement gym in 2' x 2' x 1/2" interlocking I bought from a gym equipment store.  This works great for a gym.  They are heavy.  Zero movement.  But not ideal for anti-fatigue. 

 

Two friends that have spent a lot of time in front of machines have told me 3/4" thick soft mats worked best for them.  But I agree the door mat sized mats look like something I'd trip over.  And in a room full of heavy woodworking equipment, that might make for a bad day.  So I never bought the mats.
