Highly recommended for comfort but only in non-traffic areas because the corners curl up about 2″ and the center of the edges lift about 3/4″. I bought my mat in 2018 but curling still seems to be a problem based on more recent purchase reviews.
I purchased this mat in 2018 for standing at my work/personal desk, and I have hit my foot on the curled corners or edges less than five times in 6 years. I habitually step over the met edge (the center edge lift is about 3/4″) when arriving at the mat so tripping is not a concern considering I walk to and from my personal/work desk 20-30 times a day going between the kitchen, bathroom, etc (6 years times 52 weeks a year times 7 days a week times 20 arrivals a day is about 1 foot hit for every 8500 arrivals – I use this mat at my desk which is for work and for personal use so I use it everyday, several hours a day).
Several times I rolled the mat top-side-out – it’s hard to roll this mat – to try and get the edges/corners to lay down. Once I rolled it and held it down with the weight of my 70lb office chair for several days but after a few days the corners recurled. This mat shipped to me rolled bottom-side-out and has never laid perfectly flat.
The only reason why I am replacing this mat is because my wife occasionally (rarely) comes into my office to look at my monitor and more often than not she hits her foot on the curled mat edge or corner. She considers this a tripping hazard. Even though no one has ever stumbled, she recently asked me to find another mat. Based on the searching for ‘curl’ in reviews, I am buying a GelPro elite mat (it’s nearly 4x the cost but I couldn’t find any $50-$90 mat where people left 4-5 star reviews while mentioning ‘curl’ like the GelPro elite).
This mat has been comfortable with socks for day long work/personal use for years. I try not to stand for more than 30 minutes at a time but sometimes I stand for 2-3 hours in place, slightly and occasionally shifting around my weight on my legs and or walking in place for a few seconds every few minutes.

I use this to stand on while I work at my standing desk and it is just what I wanted. It has a bit of texture on top and underneath so its not slippery and its very easy to keep clean. It fits perfectly under my desk for when i’m sitting and its pretty light so I can pull it out to stand on it. I’ve been using it for about one year and it doesn’t look warn at all.

I have always wanted a standing desk, and bought a really great one on Amazon. But I knew I’d need a good thick pad to stand on, and I selected this one. I’m really glad I did! It’s thick, soft, easy to clean, and perfect for me. I highly recommend it, since it’s useful and affordable.

I bought these originally to line cargo area of SUV for my dogs to lie on. Ended up using them in kitchen where I spent most time doing food prep & cooking! Really helps keep my feet & legs comfortable!

I bought two to go in front of the washer and dryer which is in the garage. They are easily hosed off. My only complaint is the beveled edges do not lie flat. The edge sticks up a little bit. I see this as a potential risk for tripping. Maybe with time it will flatten out.

My brother gave me one of these when his company moved to a new office space. The mat is durable, easy to clean, does not skid on a hard surface and comfortable to stand on. I purchased a second one to replace a much thinner mat then this one that her cat was tearing to shreds. That is what is great about this one, it is too think for him to dig his claws into. It is well worth the price as the one I was given has lasted years in our house and even longer in the kitchen of my brothers business.

Wow this mat is AWESOME and has made a HUGE difference in our kitchen. We cook a TON and so have to clean a ton too, and we’ve both had foot problems standing on the linoleum in the kitchen. I was really surprised how high quality this mat is — it’s pretty thick, dense foam-like material. I will be buying like 2 more to basically cover every spot in our kitchen where we stand (in front of the sink, stove and coffee maker/counter space). For now we move it around as needed, which is a moderate pain in the neck but, you know, that ranks pretty low on the life problems list. For the price this mat is a home run — WAY cheaper than competitor mats. It’s also got a nice AmazonBasics logo on the bottom. Yeah, you can’t see it, of course, but I really like it for some reason. This mat stays put too. It does *not* move once you put it down, which is a plus. We were actually using an old yoga mat in the kitchen, which we tripped on cause it’s curled on the edges. Finally I found this mat and thought the price was low enough to try, and man I’m glad I did!
GREAT GIFT IDEA TOO! We sent pics around to family members like "hey, look what we just got" and they all like to cook too and were like "woah we want one too!" So for Christmas this year we’re going to be buying like 5 of these for friends and family. So that’s done, which is nice.

It helps by back and feet pain when standing on it in the kitchen. It is just a textured fabric so it is hard to clean using a mop.

This Matt is lightweight and easy to move around. It is thick enough to be soft and comfortable on the feet and back.
