Anti-Fatigue Mats
Standing for long periods on a hard floor can contribute to foot, leg and lower-body fatigue. An anti-fatigue mat provides a supportive, cushioned surface that encourages subtle movement while you stand, helping make your standing workstation more comfortable.
An anti-fatigue mat can be especially useful with a sit-stand desk, where you alternate between sitting and standing throughout the workday. The right mat should provide enough cushioning to reduce the feeling of standing on a hard surface without being so soft that your feet become unstable.
At ErgoDirect, we offer anti-fatigue mats for home offices, standing desks, healthcare environments, laboratories, industrial workspaces and other applications where people spend extended periods standing.
Not sure which mat is right for you? Consider the amount of standing you do, the size of your workspace, the type of flooring and whether the mat needs to accommodate a chair or other equipment.
What does an anti-fatigue mat do?
The function of an anti-fatigue mat is to provide the right amount of ergonomically appropriate cushion that prevents muscle constriction. In order for that to happen, the mat has to be made of a material, which is a mix of hard and soft. Extreme example of hard but stable material is concrete and that of soft but unstable material is a mattress. Both are not good for your feet. An anti-fatigue mat should be soft enough that it encourages muscle movement and change of position. At the same time a mat should be hard enough to hold onto the user’s weight without giving in.
