Anti Fatigue Mats Mats

If you are a business owner or manager the quickest, cheapest and easiest way to get your employees to work harder, make less mistakes and be safer at the same time may be antifatigue matting. 

Anti fatigue mats make the workplace more productive and safer by:

1. When workers are standing in one place for long periods of time back pain often results. Anti fatigue mats can eliminate or reduce the back pain and stress caused by standing for long periods of time.

2. Productivity is always a factor in the workplace. Fatigue mats can increase productivity by providing comfort to workers while they are doing their job.

3. When people are tired they tend to make more mistakes and more injuries often occur.  An anti fatigue floor mat can help prevent these mistakes, injuries and fatigue.

4. A padded mat or runner for workers to stand on can also provide unintended benefits, like a reduction in the glass and material that breaks when anything falls on the mats instead of the hard floor.

5. Antifatigue Matting at work will also help reduce the slip and fall injuries.  In fact, many insurance companies promote matting as one of the best solutions to slip and fall problems.

So, if you are an employee or owner of a factory, manufacturing facility, retail store or any other workplace where you or your employees are standing on your feet for long periods of time, anti fatigue matting is for you.  In short, these mats are the quickest and most affordable way to increase safety, reduce injuries and relieve employee fatigue and stress.

Customers who are upset let you know it, but if someone is extremely happy with a product or service they generally don’t let you know it.  That wasn’t the case for MatsMatsMats.com.  One customer, Jeffrey of ShelfGenie – Boston, wrote:

I recently purchased a 10×20 wood foam floor [wood film laminate] for our ShelfGenie HomeShow display trade show booth flooring.

We exhibited this at the Suburban Boston Home Show in Wilmington, Massachusetts.  The show was a great success.  Thousands of people came by our booth over a 3 day period, and hundreds of them walked on your floor to spend some time with us.  Several hundred more took a break from walking on the concrete floor and greatly appreciated resting their sore feet on the mat. 

We lost count of the number of people who asked us where we got our trade show floor.  It was at least several dozen – both consumers and other exhibitors.

The response to our booth flooring was so strong that it prompted me to write.

Ahhh! Comfort in the kitchen.  If you stand on your feet for long periods of time in your kitchen (or elsewhere) and you don’t have cushioned floor mats to stand on, what are you waiting for? 

There are a lot of mats out there, but the most comfortable mats on the market today seem to be gel mats.  The problem with gel mats is that they are not too comfortable for your wallet (they typically cost $100 to $200 or more).  If you want the comfort of a gel mat without the high sticker price try a Comfort Chef Kitchen Mat (typically $40 to $60).

A Comfort Chef Kitchen Mat has an extra soft gel like feel that provides exceptional comfort during long periods of standing. They are made of soft closed cell foam with a molded surface design for traction and wear. They are easy to clean (simply wipe mat with mild soap and water), so they stay looking fresh and new much longer.

Some ideal uses for cushioned floor mats around the home are as kitchen sink mats, a laundry room mat or a utility sink mat.  So, stop being uncomfortable and look into getting cushioned floor mats today.

The Performa SD mats are the perfect commercial kitchen mats.  These interlocking rubber mats help relieve fatigue and increase productivity.  The solid surface provides “complete coverage” on a slightly elevated anti fatigue standing surface.  There are nibs to elevate the mat above the floor surface to allow easy drainage of fluids underneath the mat for wet work areas.  Each mat has built-in interlocking connectors designed to securely connect two or more sections to cover larger areas.

Anti-Fatigue commercial kitchen mats, like the Performa SD, improve employee comfort, minimize slip and falls and increase productivity.  The solid deck interlocking kitchen floor tiles are ideal for bars, service areas, commercial kitchens and industrial areas. 

Each rubber tile is 3′x3′ and 5/8″ thick.  There are two styles available – standard black and black with GritTuff™ top (this is an extremely aggrressive, high traction, carbide grit top surface.).

If you’ve ever worked in a restaurant as a server or as cook you understand the importance and the benefits of anti fatigue mats.  Being on your feet for such long periods of time can take a toll on your body and the combination of solid rubber anti slip mats and rubber anti fatigue mats make the ideal restaurant kitchen floor mats – designed for both durability and your comfort. 

Typically, restaurant anti fatigue mats have drainage holes, are grease resistant (black) or grease proof (red) and are made in sections that connect together to cover whatever area behind the counter and/or in the kitchen that is needed.  These mats are generally made of rubber, for durability and ease of cleaning. 

Working as a waiter or as a cook in a restaurant is hard work, but anti-fatigue mats help to make it a little more comfortable while your doing it.

In many industries, workers are required to stand for long periods of time while performing their responsibilities. Whether you work on an assembly line, as a retail sales clerk, as a hair stylist, or one of the many other “on your feet” type of jobs, having an anti fatigue mat is a must!

Recent studies estimate that more than 83% of the industrial workforce has experienced foot, back and lower leg problems. Ergonomic intervention, such as anti fatigue matting is a cost-effective measure to help prevent or control this problem.  Anti-fatigue Matting helps reduce fatigue. In addition, it has been proven that anti fatigue mats will improve employee morale and productivity.  Matting will also provide resolution to other work environment needs such as traction, wear-resistance, fluid and chemical protection, durability, shock-absorption, ESD/Conductive and floor coverings.

In addition, insurance companies consider matting one of the top 3 solutions to Slip & Fall problems.

In todays work environment, matting is a factor in almost all plants where a new safety & productivity plan is implemented. It is considered the quickest and most affordable method to enhance safety and reduce workplace injuries and relieve fatigue and stress.

Simply put, Anti Fatigue Matting Makes Cents!

Even the greatest of anti-fatigue mats cannot diminish MY fatigue from all of these home renovations! But I can tell you: I sure wouldn’t mind having even a couple of these around to help diminish the stress and strain on my feet, knees, and back! I do wear some high-dollar shoes and use an expensive chair [THE best, ergonomic chair, at $500], to help with my back issues, but I just don’t have anything to “buffer” my work area when I’m working on the house, you know?

I tell you, if you ever do any kneeling, walking, standing, or even squatting for extended periods of time—and especially if you’re over 35 years of age—you owe it to your self to buy something you can use to reduce the effects of gravity on your frame. I think I’ll click on over, right now, and order a kneeling pad and have it shipped in a day or two, as these home renovations

I’ve been working on our house the past few weeks, doing some home renovations, and I can tell you there’s been more than one occasion I could have used one of these anti-fatigue mats, such as a knee saver kneeling pad, while working on something lower to the ground! I realize some would say, “Ah, toughen up!” But I have since learned the better care you can take of your body in any situation, the longer you’ll last, and many more days to work—and be productive—you’ll see in the future, you know?

That’s what both commercial and industrial anti-fatigue mats are all about: reducing the effects of stress and strain on the human body, so as to increase productivity that would otherwise be lost to injury and fatigue, and kneeling pads are a great idea for preserving your knees. In fact, if you know someone who works a lot kneeling down, why not buy that person a kneeling pad for his or her birthday, for the holidays, or just because they’re not expensive, and are lightweight, making them hassle free for carrying along to the job.
