The 10 Best Anti-Fatigue Mats, Tested in Our Own Homes

Best Overall

Martha Stewart Anti-Fatigue Kitchen Mat

$45 $25 at Amazon $60 at Target $30 at Wayfair

We knew we'd love the Martha Stewart Mira Mat as soon as we pulled it out of the packaging. Thanks to air-infused memory foam, it's thick and cushy, with a water-resistant surface, beveled edges, and a rubberized backing that prevents it from sliding around. This mat provided ample support for daily kitchen tasks, keeping us comfortable on our feet for long periods.

The design proved durable, too. Even after weeks of daily use, it still looked new, with no stains, rips, or indentations. We also appreciated that the sides and corners didn't curl up like some other mats we tested.

Though pet hair clings to the surface, we found this anti-fatigue mat easy to care for. We wiped it down with a damp cloth as needed, but the heathered pattern naturally conceals most dirt. We think the price is more than fair for such a high-quality mat that does its job of preventing foot fatigue and leg strain.

Best Overall (Almost)

Sky Solutions Sky Mat Comfort Anti-Fatigue Mat

$19 $18 at Amazon

We were also impressed with the Sky Solutions Anti-Fatigue Mat — the memory foam material molded around our feet, offering firm support and cloud-like cushioning.

The variety of shades and patterns makes this mat a great choice for anyone looking to add a bit of comfort and color to their space. We suggest getting a darker hue, as the lighter option we tested showed scuffs and spills. Still, cleaning was a breeze — we watched flour and molasses rinse right off the surface.

No mat is one-size-fits-all, and thankfully, this one comes in four sizes to accommodate different spaces, whether under a standing desk or in the kitchen. From its comfy 0.75-inch cushion to the attractive price, you really can't go wrong.

Dimensions: 32 x 20 inches | Thickness: 0.75 inches | Material: Memory foam | Non-Slip: Yes | Colors: 16

Best Budget

KitchenClouds Anti-Fatigue Kitchen Mat

$24 $22 at Amazon

If you're looking for something more wallet-friendly, the KitchenClouds Comfort Mat is an excellent choice. The ultra-soft, plush cushioning was very comfortable underfoot — stepping onto it was a truly pleasurable experience. Though it may not be our first pick for long stretches of standing, it was perfect for washing dishes, prepping food, and other everyday kitchen tasks.

This anti-fatigue mat was easy to clean, too. The surface is slightly tacky, so it attracts some pet hair. But this wasn't a big deal, and it was no problem to vacuum off and remove spills with a wet mop.

The Comfort Mat proved durable, holding up well during the testing window without any discoloration or tears. It went above and beyond what we'd expect quality-wise for under $25.

Dimensions: 17 x 39 inches | Thickness: 0.75 inches | Material: PVC | Non-Slip: Yes | Colors: 7

Best Value

FEATOL Anti Fatigue Mats Comfort Standing Pad

$58 $41 at Amazon

This anti-fatigue mat might offer the most bang for your buck. At 0.9 inches, it's the thickest one we tested, and after standing on the gel-infused foam for an hour, we were thoroughly pleased with the performance. The longer we stood, the more it seemed to mold to our feet.

We liked how the woven faux leather surface offered some grip underfoot to prevent slipping. However, the texture was a little tricky (but not impossible) to clean. We applied a mixture of molasses and flour and noticed it stuck within the grooves.

The quality is really impressive, especially for such an agreeable price. Plus, there are several colors and sizes available, so you can get a mat for multiple spaces in your home.

Dimensions: 32 x 20 inches | Thickness: 0.9 inches | Material: Gel, memory foam, faux leather | Non-Slip: Yes | Colors: 6

Best for Kitchens

Gorilla Grip Anti Fatigue Cushioned Comfort Mat

$40 at Amazon View on Gorillagrip.com

We truly loved testing the Gorilla Grip Anti-Fatigue Mat, thanks to its comfortable and sturdy material. Available in several sizes, including narrow runners, it's the perfect option to place below a kitchen sink or island.

The high-density foam cushioned our feet without collapsing our arches or making us feel uncomfortable, even when standing for long periods while cooking or cleaning up a meal. A huge perk was the scratch-resistant, easy-to-clean pebbled rubber surface, which can be wiped down or even hosed off in the case of a more significant spill.

Our heels could have used a bit more support after an hour of testing. But seeing as this mat was brand new (and some anti-fatigue mats have a break-in period), we're willing to overlook that for its reasonable price, superb comfort, and wide range of color options.

Dimensions: 32 x 20 inchs | Thickness: 0.75 inches | Material: Foam, rubber | Non-Slip: No | Colors: 13

Best for Standing Desks

Ergodriven Topo Comfort Mat

$119 at Amazon $119 at Walmart

If you use a standing desk, the Ergodriven Topo Mat might be the one. Nearly three inches thick and not too hard or too soft, we appreciated the generous cushioning and thought it offered the ideal amount of support for long stretches of standing.

The grooves, rails, calf-raise shelf, and ball in the center helped alleviate pressure and kept us from standing in one position for too long. We could feel it activating the muscles in our legs. This anti-fatigue mat even seemed to support good posture, encouraging us to keep our shoulders back and not slouch while working at a computer.

We were able to stand comfortably at a desk for an entire workday. The price is on the higher end, but the quality and performance are top-notch.

Dimensions: 29 x 26.25 inches | Thickness: 2.7 inches | Material: Foam | Non-Slip: No | Colors: 2

Best Cushion

SoftDuo Anti-Fatigue Mat

$50 at Amazon

The SoftDuo Kitchen Mat is made of high-density foam that offers support while still being soft. We found the cushioning ideal for long-term standing in the kitchen or while working on a computer.

The textured surface helped keep us steady on our feet. Although the grooves collected some dust during the testing window, wiping the mat clean was simple. The non-slip backing helped it stay in place on hard floors, but it slid around a bit when we placed it on a rug.

This anti-fatigue mat is lightweight yet durable, maintaining its appearance, repelling stains, and resisting creases. It not only feels good but also looks good. And considering you get two mats with your purchase, it's undoubtedly good value.

Dimensions: 17.3 x 29 inches, 17.3 x 47 inches | Thickness: 0.5 inches | Material: Foam, PVC | Non-Slip: Yes | Colors: 5

Best Support

Kangaroo 3/4" Anti-Fatigue Comfort Mat

$43 $40 at Amazon

The Kangaroo mat stood out for its firmness and support. Its rubber and foam makeup provided even weight distribution, keeping us comfortable from heel to toe while standing for upwards of an hour.

The diamond-embossed surface seemed to prevent slipping while providing a massage-like sensation underfoot. We also liked the texture's decorative appeal. Unfortunately, the grooves made it a little harder to clean off the flour and molasses, but a good scrub-down did the trick.

This anti-fatigue mat isn't billed as slip-resistant, so be careful not to let water underneath it. It comes in six sizes and 11 colors, all of which are reasonably priced. If you need extra support, you won't regret buying one.

Dimensions: 32 x 20 inches | Thickness: 0.75 inches | Material: Foam, rubber | Non-Slip: No | Colors: 11

Best Design

House of Noa Standing Mat

$139 at Amazon View on Thehouseofnoa.com

Anti-fatigue mats often prioritize function over form, but this one is an exception. The House of Noa Ula Nama Mat flaunts a stylish design that resembles a textile runner. Meanwhile, the thick, firm, and supportive cushioning kept our feet happy while standing for long periods.

Since it doesn't have a non-slip backing, it may not stay in place as well on certain hard flooring materials. However, it seemed durable enough for common areas, withstanding lots of shoe-wearing foot traffic, resisting pet damage, and cleaning easily with a vacuum.

We're big fans of the hand-illustrated pattern and neutral colorways and would happily place this mat in our kitchen or workspace. The steep price could be hard to justify, but considering how good it looks, feels, and performs, we think it might be worth a splurge.

Dimensions: 22 x 54 inches | Thickness: 0.75 inches | Material: High-density foam, fabric | Non-Slip: No | Colors: 3

Easiest to Clean

Amazon Basics Premium Anti-Fatigue Standing Comfort Mat

$35 at Amazon

If you want a low-maintenance anti-fatigue mat, look no further than Amazon. Made of foam with a textured, stain-resistant surface, this easy-to-clean mat can be washed as needed with soap and water — you could even hose it down outside.

While we thought the cushioning was sufficient, it's not as thick as others we tested. But due to the thinner design, it's conveniently lightweight and portable but still weighty enough to stay in place on the floor without sliding around. Although this anti-fatigue mat only comes in one color (black), we appreciate the versatile, utilitarian design.

Dimensions: 20 x 36 inches | Thickness: 0.6 inches | Material: Foam, rubber | Non-Slip: Yes | Colors: Black
