Non-Flat Standing Mat Comparison Reviews
There's a fresh new wrinkle to the conventional anti-fatigue mat that goes beyond anything we've seen from the matting industry. Raised edges, topographic surface, and activity-promoting features take standing to the next level. We've gathered a round of progenitor mats along with their imitators and savvy competitors to show you the best of the non-flat mat category.
iMovR EcoLast Premium Standing Mat Review
Out of all the anti fatigue mats we've ever testing in the labs, the iMovR EcoLast, as their marketing claim goes, is definitely "the last standing mat you'll ever need to buy." Superior materials and construction, plus a solid ten-year performance warranty, ensure trouble-free ownership and none of the wear and tear that cheaper "disposable" mats are known for. Despite costing about twice as much as bargain bin mats, given the expected lifetime performance of this product its true annualized cost of ownership is only that of a tall cup of coffee at Starbucks.
iMovR EcoLast Hybrid Sit-Stand Mat Review
iMovR's new EcoLast Premium Hybrid Standing / Chair Mats provide a supportive surface for you to stand at your desk, and are large enough for you to fit your chair on top, thus eliminating the need to bend down and move the mat every time you change working modes. The premium anti-fatigue mats are made of the same material and with the same methods as iMovR's leading EcoLast Premium Standing Mats, meaning these convenient desk accessories will last you a lifetime.
iMovR EcoLast Portable Standing Mat Review
Back in the early days of the personal computer industry - before the age of the laptop -when Compaq introduced the first “portable computer” (weighing 44 lbs!), the joke was that the adjective “portable” simply meant “has a handle.” So we had to chuckle just a little bit when we heard that iMovR had introduced a portable standing mat. We asked the natural question, “what the heck for?” It didn’t take us long to get religion on this one, once it’s many uses and benefits were demonstrated to us.
iMovR EcoLast Dual Gripper Standing Mat Review
One problem that persists with most standing mats is the risk of “travel”, or slipping out of place on smooth or wet surfaces, and even on office carpeting. At best it poses an inconvenience, as mats need to be repositioned throughout the day; at worst it’s a dangerous trip hazard. Most decent mats will have some sort of non-slip surface, which works to a certain extent. But for complete peace of mind iMovR goes the extra mile with their EcoLast Dual Gripper Mat.
We’ve reviewed the EcoLast before: its one-piece polyurethane construction, durable SmartTech formulation, and 5-year warranty put it squarely at the top of our comparison list for anti-fatigue mats. Now, for just $10 more, [...]
iMovR EcoLast TreadTop Standing Mat Review
The EcoLast TreadTop preserves all of the qualities that made iMovR’s EcoLast Premium standing mats so great and adapts them to fit on the deck of an office treadmill, providing much-needed relief to deskers who find themselves taking their standing breaks without dismounting. The TreadTop comes in two sizes that ensure it will fit just about any walking treadmill. These mats continue the EcoLast’s hallmark traits of lifelong durability and environmental friendliness. Most importantly, EcoLast TreadTop standing mats continue in the tradition of providing the state-of-the-art in comfort performance – they are single-body constructed from a high-density, 100% polyurethane formulation that [...]
iMovR EcoLast Economy Standing Mat Review
Targeted towards budget-conscious standing desk users who nonetheless crave the back support and foot relief of a quality anti atigue mat, the EcoLast Economy Mat is an ultra-affordable alternative to the cheap kitchen mats that crowd the standing mat market at the economy price range. Despite its thinner shape, the Economy Mat continues EcoLast's tradition of lifelong durability, environmental friendliness, and long-lasting comfort for your feet and back.
iMovR EcoLast Continuum Standing Mat Review
iMovR EcoLast Continuum Standing Mat is a big brother to the EcoLast Premium Standing Mat. The two share an incomparable quality and durability, while the latter comes in a wide variety of sizes that would fit almost any work area. Three available depths 20”, 24”, and 36” combined with a variety of lengths create fifteen different size options with the longest mat reaching the mark of 23'.
iMovR EverMat Portable Standing Mat Review
iMovR is launching another series of standing mats of the same quality as their famous EcoLast series at a reduced price. Replicating the exacting premium mat formulation in a convenient portable package, the brand offers the EverMat Portable Standing Mat in two sizes to accommodate users of all heights.

Sky Mat Comfort Anti Fatigue Mat Review
Sky Mat is great on paper and if a chemical smell doesn't bother you much, you may even enjoy it for some month before it starts flaking and breaking due to poor quality build and materials. You can exercise the lifetime warranty or 30-Day Return Policy, but it will not fulfill the fantasy the brand is creating for this very below average product.
Kensington Anti-Fatigue Mat Review
The maker of desktop and mobile device accessories, Kensington has sent us their latest standing desk accessory--an anti-fatigue mat. In spite of the product's redeeming features, it's too heavy on the price and too light on the patented rubberized gel foam material, basically polyurethane, (not to be confused with real gel). Read more to learn where Kensington stands among its competitors.
Durable Corporation Comfort Stand HD Mat Review
Comfort Stand HD Mat by Durable Corporation sets certain expectations for durability and comfort. Made of nitrile rubber sponge, the mat outshines the competition in terms of travel control but completely fails on all other fronts.
JumpSport’s Wurf Board Review
A crossover between a balance trainer and an anti-fatigue mat, the heavily marketed Wurf Board is becoming quite popular. We've tested it in our labs and found that it better surfs (sic) as an active standing solution rather than comfortable cushioning.
Ergohead Standing Mat Review
Ergohead looks like one of the Topo and TerraMat imitators. Made of low-density polyurethane its massage rolls and mounds aren't potent enough to provide the promised foot massage, stretching, and rolling. Additionally, the Chinese-made mat off-gasses and keeps polluting the air even after a few weeks of use. If you enjoy more cushioning under your feet, it will provide you with enough support through hours of standing.
Ergocomfy Standing Mat Review
Ergocomfy is not really a calculated terrain mat as much as it is a non-flat standing mat made from low-density polyurethane that offers nothing to justify its cost in comparison to the industry-leading products.

TerraMat by CubeFit Review
The TerraMat by CubeFit is a welcomed entrant into the field of varied terrain standing mats. Combining the roominess of a traditional mat with fun and interesting surface features, the TerraMat has the best of both worlds to offer its standing desk users.

Ergodriven Topo Mat Review
While quality anti-fatigue mats provide a standing surface that's both robust and comfortable, the new Topo mat takes things to the next level with its irregular surface. Unique "Calculated Terrain" features keep users engaged in a wide variety of foot positions, encouraging continual movement throughout the day. While noticeably lacking in terms of comfort and size options, the Topo's various topographical features make it worth trying.

Imprint CumulusPRO Commercial Grade Standing Mat Review
ReviewCompare
There are only a number of mats on the market made using the superior 100% polyurethane unibody construction method. These mats will perform superbly for a long time and are so far ahead of the rest of the pack that it really isn't a contest. The Imprint CumulusPRO Commercial Grade Anti-Fatigue Mat is one of these. While it has many positives, it falls short of getting our top recommendation, which is held by the iMovR EcoLast Premium Anti-Fatigue Mat. Following are the reasons why.
The Pros and Cons of the Imprint CumulusPROThe Imprint CumulusPRO has 3/4" thick polyurethane.

Imprint Cumulus9 Comfort Mat Review
The re-design of the popular but insufficiently durable Cumulus product is definitely our Experts' Pick in the subcategory of foam-core mats, that's not saying much. These mats are good for short periods of time working in a kitchen, but do not have enough support for serious use at a standing desk. While the Cumulus9 beats out other foam core products with its multi-core layered internals, standing desk workers should not expect to get much use out of them.
Ergotron WorkFit Floor Mat Review
Much of a standing mat’s effectiveness is owed to its construction – as with mattresses, it’s what’s inside that counts. Cheap, low-quality sponge mats like the kind designed for kitchen use tend to easily tear, delaminate and compress. They lose their bounce over time, and are all but unusable for the purpose of adopting a standing workday.
All sorts of materials are incorporated into standing mats – foams, gels, rubber and vinyl. One in particular – polyurethane – has stood out as the gold standard for anti-fatigue mats, due to its durability against tearing, compression, and heat damage. Polyurethane being an expensive material, many standing mats – the Workfit Floor Mat included [...]
Varidesk The Mat Standing Mat Review
Yep. No denying it, that's an uninspired name.
However, it is an accurate one. Varidesk set out to create a companion item for their extremely popular line of desktop risers, and they've succeeded. Anti-fatigue mats provide some extra cushion to the hard floors that many standers would normally endure. They're not a silver bullet solution – movement and proper posture are likely more important for most standers – but they do help keep the feet and legs comfortable over the course of a standing workday.
Varidesk's take on the anti-fatigue mat comes in a no-nonsense matte black, matching their desktop risers. Five-eighths of an inch of high-density foam plants The Mat squarely in [...]
