Read our full guide on anti-fatigue floor mats to choose the best standing desk mat for your office.

There's a fresh new wrinkle to the conventional anti-fatigue mat that goes beyond anything we've seen from the matting industry.

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.
