Ergonomic mats are designed to stimulate circulation in the feet, legs and lower back. True ergonomic mats are carefully engineered to provide the optimal balance between compression and resistance, which is critical to achieving the appropriate muscle stimulation. The best way to understand what an ergonomic mat is designed to do, is to compare it to the suspension of a car. Like the suspension, it absorbs and disperses shock, while providing the necessary support for stability.

Like all ergonomic tools, ergonomic matting is designed to work with the human body to ease the tasks that the body performs. In the case of a standing work station, these mats are of critical importance in reducing or eliminating short-term fatigue and discomfort, including the more long-term negative cumulative effects of strain and stress injury. These benefits also lead to real savings through increased productivity and worker moral, and decreases in sick leave, workers' compensation claims and substandard production due to operators' lack of concentration caused by fatigue.

There are numerous matting options available in either Polyurethane or Nitril. Polyurethane mats provide appropriate solutions for dry, non-abrasive to slightly damp or oily environments. Polyurethane mats also have anti-static properties.

Nitril rubber mats have greater heat resistance, anti-abrasion and anti-slip properties for more demanding industrial conditions. Nitril mats also come in an ESD version for static sensitive manufacturing environments.

Each mat is designed to provide optimal solutions for specific industries and working conditions: ESD (anti-static), fire retardant, chemical resistant, anti-slip, cold insulated, auto-clavable, shock - absorbent, etc. You can match a mat to your specific environment needs to get the most out of it while getting unbelievable ergonomic relief.
