Non-Flat Standing Mat 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.

Custom Branding Options for Standing Mats

Standing Mats Have Come a Long Way, and So Have Custom Branding Options

When we first started reviewing anti-fatigue mats for standing desks years ago, most offerings were just cheap kitchen and bath mats that lost their buoyancy after a year and weren’t comfortable to work on for more than about 45 minutes.

Today, true standing desk anti-fatigue mats made of 100% polyurethane that you can work on all day are not only the norm, they come in hundreds of size and color combinations. Many, especially those made in the USA, come with lifetime warranties. (Learn more about the quality parameters in our primer on how to identify quality in standing mat products.

Extra Large Standing Mat Reviews

We’ve reviewed dozens of standing mats over the years, and beyond question, they significantly increase the amount of time users can stand in comfort each day, reduce injuries and keep employees happier at their jobs. But what if your job involves standing and moving around in a larger area than just in front of your computer, such as at a workbench, assembly line, large machinery, a pharmacy desk or even at a trade show? Such extra large standing mats fall into two categories: single-piece and puzzle-piece.

Single-piece mats are often the best deal if your area is small enough, but to go really large or to customize the fit to a specific irregular shape or even wall-to-wall [...]

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. The EcoLast Dual Gripper [...]

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).

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 Desk 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.

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.
