Are Standing Desk Mats Worth The Investment?

Standing desks are quite the rage. You may be convinced you want a standing desk, but find yourself wondering if you need a desk anti-fatigue mat.

There are so many benefits to using a standing desk or a sit-stand desk. They help with blood circulation, reduce fatigue throughout the workday, and take away the temptation to sit for long periods. Some claim that they even help with workflow and performance.

Imagine how much better it would feel and be for your body to be able to stand on an anti-fatigue, ergonomic floor mat designed to reduce foot pain and back pain, deliver a non-slip surface, and allow for extended periods of standing - rather than testing differing standing positions on an existing hard floor currently in your workspace.

If you’re invested in your health and work performance enough to invest in a standing desk, it’s definitely worth investing in a standing desk mat.
