I have four and love them. Every floor in my home is brick and I have high arches. That combination can make for very sore feet! I've gotten 2 of the the mats from Kohls. DH bought me two more at Costco. I have one in front of my kitchen prep area, where I do the bulk of my work. Another in front of my kitchen sink. The third in the secondary kitchen prep area and the fourth in my laundry room in front of my washer and dryer. All are 3 to 5 years old and still in good shape. Easy to clean and a godsend for my poor feet. I've seriously looked at and tried out several of the more expensive ones, but have never been impressed that the comfort or durability was any better than mine.

I don't use them but Costco usually has some pretty nice ones.

I had a GelPro mat and loved it. BUT, after a while the mat split in the area where I stood most of the time. I was very disappointed considering how much it cost.

As a replacement I bought one at Costco ($15, I think). It has held up well and feels just as nice as the GelPro.

I do and I wouldn't be without one. Really makes a difference when you are working a long time in the kitchen.

My girls have them and love them. I just bought 2 for Christmas gifts. Picked them up at Cosco.

I was thinking over the weekend that I need one or two if these. I haven't gotten one since they can be rather expensive. Glad to hear the Costco ones are good. The least expensive anti-fatigue mat I saw on their site cost $28.99, still far better than the $65+ they charge at BB&B. My kitchen floor is tile. I absolutely hate and if I can ever rationalize spending the money I will get something else. I'd honestly rather have linoleum.

We have them. When a friend who lives out of the country was visiting with her family, her teenage son said, "Mother can we get some of these for our kitchen, they feel great!"

I used to have them - got mine at Tuesday Morning. I got rid of them ( and the ones I got for my mom) because the edges curled up and it was a tripping hazard. I don't remember the brand.

Here is here is a pic c of my Gelpro, extremely nice on the feet when standing at the sink for extended period. But cheaper versions have come out so shop around

Here us a closeup of crack repaired with superglue. Tacky but it works. High hills are a no-no, of course but the vinyl gets brittle over time, despite the best of care.

Not me - just a small, thick rug in a dark colored pattern that doesn't show dirt. I will take them to the rug laundry from time to time to be cleaned. I like the appearance of a rug better than the mats. Also not sure what material is on the bottom of the mats but I've had problems with rubbery surfaces on wood floors and thought that might also be a concern with the mats though I've never looked at them closely.

The mats are lifesavers for the joints or feet. I have the ones from Costco. The only one that is deteriorating is the one I spilled hot oil/juices on by removing a pan from the oven. (Think of what it would have done to my foot - or the vinyl floor!)

I like that they can be hosed off easily, and the pets don't lay on them like on a regular rug.

I recently got one, and guess who loves it? The dog!

I have one that I got at Costco, impulsively. It's in perfect shape altho it is very dirty bc it is beige. It is wonderful for my achy bod. Sometimes I kick it around when I need it in areas other than in front of the sink. Next time I will get a larger one in a dark color. Can it be cleaned?

I've had 2 of the ones from Costco in my kitchen for 5 or 6 years. They show almost no wear. I vacuum often and Occasionally run my steam mop across the top. Once in a while I take them outside and hose them down, but they take a long time to dry, so I don't do it often.

No Costco here! Darn! I am happy to hear you all like yours though. I guess you have to become a member which may not be feasible for me.

Lynn, we have Saltillo floors so they are hard on my feet, but love the durability of them.

3katz, I worry about the bottom of mats also as some rubber products have left marks-so I have to be careful. I like the looks of rugs also but at Thanksgiving this year I spilled gravy all over the one at my stove! And I am picky about rugs-I don't like cheap-looking ones.

bossy, thanks for the heads up about the gel pro brand. However, there is an elite gelpro one now and I wonder if those are better than the classic? Do you remember if yours is classic?

Yes, it was Gelpro Classic in the Linen pattern, color red

Thanks bossy!

I've had two of the GelPro Chef's mats. Bought them in 2003. LOVED them. They started to split after about 6 or 7 years. I might be the reason tho. When I steam cleaned the kitchen floor, I'd (quickly) run over the mats with the steamer. I tried a cheaper version I found at WM about 3 years ago. They were ok but nowhere near as nice as the Gelpros. Darn I wish we had a Costo around here. Seems they have more/better items than Sam's.
