Anti-fatigue mats are typically cushioned mats designed to reduce aches, pains and tiredness for those individuals who have to stand on cold, hard floors all day. They provide a comfortable standing surface and are often referred to as cushion mats or comfort mats. How do anti-fatigue mats work?

The reduced blood flow is what causes the pain and discomfort that an employee experiences after a long days work. A reduction in blood flow also means that the heart has to work harder, meaning the body will run out of energy quicker, leaving your workers feeling tired and fatigued. Anti-fatigue mats help to increase blood flow in the legs, by allowing the muscles to expand and contract slightly, which helps to prevent stiffness. The movement in the muscles helps to increase blood flow and oxygen, greatly reducing fatigue of your workers. How long do anti-fatigue mats last?
