I work from home, and it's the perfect excuse to do a lot of baking. It's not uncommon for my husband to come home to a platter of fully-decorated spring cupcakes for no particular occasion. While working, I spend a lot of my time standing at my standing desk from Wayfair. All these factors combine to curse me with pretty bad foot pain. At least, until I invested in an anti-fatigue kitchen mat.

Anti-fatigue kitchen mats are different from kitchen rugs. The phrase "anti-fatigue kitchen mat" is a broad term that encapsulates any kind of kitchen mat with some sort of built-in padding. The padding, oftentimes made from memory foam, carpeting, rubber or vinyl, conforms to the foot and provides arch support.

Kitchen mats also stabilize your legs, so they’re easier on the ankles than hard floors. Traditionally, kitchen mats are used in the kitchen, but plop one down anywhere you spend a lot of time standing for instant relief. Laundry rooms, offices with standing desks and even retail stores are places where an anti-fatigue mat comes in handy.

Those who use anti-fatigue kitchen mats on a daily basis enjoy a myriad of health benefits, including reduced hip pain and joint stiffness. Additionally, there is evidence to suggest they prevent unsightly varicose veins when paired with comfortable shoes and regular exercise.

In addition to the half-inch PVC foam that provides long-lasting foot pain relief, KitchenClouds kitchen mats offer a nonslip bottom that grips the floor and prevents falls. A beveled edge reduces the risk of tripping over the mat or slipping on the sides. If the mat warps out of shape, it's easy to fix—just fill your bathtub with hot water and allow it to soak for several minutes to straighten it back out.

When accidents occur, scrubbing traditional kitchen rugs with stain remover is a pain. Cleaning kitchen mats is far easier—just fire up your favorite steam mop and cordless vacuum. Or, simply use a broom and dustpan after you wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth. The mat's waterproof coating prevents odors and stains from seeping in.

KitchenCloud anti-fatigue kitchen mats make whipping up impulse brownies a pain-free endeavor—if you have the time to spare. If you’re tight on time, try a box of our Test Kitchen's favorite brownie mixes. I guarantee your family will never know the difference.
