Anti-Fatigue Mats Buying Guide 

Choosing the right standing mat depends on your usage and floor type. Use this quick guide to find the perfect fit for your ergonomic setup.

 

Material Matters 

• Foam/Polymer: Best for light to moderate use. Offers a good balance of softness and support at a great value.

• Gel/Advanced Polymer: Ideal for heavy, continuous use. Offers superior shock absorption and retains firmness over long periods. Look for advanced materials like the Floortex AFS-TEX series.

Size and Placement

A good mat should allow you to move comfortably without stepping off the edges.

• Standard (50x80cm): Suitable for static users who stay centered at the desk.

• Large (60x90cm+): Recommended for active users or those who shift their weight/position frequently. Ensure the mat fits neatly within your standing zone.

Thickness and Firmness

• Mats should typically be 12mm to 20mm thick. Avoid overly soft mats, as these can actually cause muscle strain. The ideal mat is firm yet resilient, providing energy return as you stand.

 

Frequently Asked Questions - Chair Mats UK​

 

What is the benefit of using an Anti-Fatigue Mat?

Anti-fatigue mats reduce stress on your feet, knees, and back by encouraging micro-movements and promoting subtle changes in posture. This prevents the blood pooling and fatigue that occurs when standing on a hard, flat floor for extended periods.

 

Can I use an Anti-Fatigue Mat with an office chair?

No, these mats are primarily designed for standing. Using a rolling chair on a cushioned anti-fatigue mat will damage the mat and can make rolling difficult. If you need floor protection for a rolling chair, please see our dedicated Chair Mats category.

 

Are standing desk mats suitable for carpet or hard floors?

Our anti-fatigue mats feature a slip-resistant base that works effectively on both carpet and hard floor surfaces, including wood, tile, and vinyl. They are designed to stay flat and secure regardless of the surface underneath.

 

How long should I stand on an Anti-Fatigue Mat?

The mat allows you to comfortably stand for extended periods, but we recommend transitioning between standing and sitting every 30-60 minutes. Use the mat during your standing intervals to maximise energy and minimize strain.
