This is the second Gel Pro mat I have ordered from Chef's Catalog. I really like the product for relieving leg and back fatigue experienced standing on my bare ceramic tile floor. Time will tell if I like the newly designed edge which is rather soft and thin. The previous mat I ordered has a much sturdier edge, and shows no signs of wear.
Pros: durability, True to Color, Functional/Useful

The product arrived quickly. It is not as stylish as I had hoped, but it is under a carpet at the sink, so it really doesn't matter. It is quite comfortable. I hope it lasts a long, long time.

Best Mat Around

I first purchased this mat because it stayed put. My son was worried we would trip on the cloth mat I used previously in the Kitchen. I then discovered how good this felt to stand on. I now have 2 in my kitchen, and 3 in my bathrooms. In addition, I have a daughter with foot problems, and she now has 2 in her kitchen, which we purchased as Christmas presents. She tells us this is one of the best gifts she ever received. Our family highly recommends these mats, and your tired legs and feet will thank you every time you step on one of these mats.

I had purchased these mats for my kitchen several months ago and just loved them. These mats were purchased for the pizza prep area as well as the oven and sink area for our pizza parlor. The workers said their legs and back used to bother them after several hours at work but after we received these mats they saw a great improvement in the way their legs and back felt at the end of the day. Thank you for a great product.

My husband gave me this for Christmas and I love it. It helps my back so much. I wish my whole kitchen floor could be like this. It makes standing at the counter so much more comfortable, I wish we had gotten one years ago.

I bought my daughter-in-law a couple of gel mats for Christmas a couple of years ago. She has back problems sometimes and I thought they might help her. She also has concrete floor with tile. What a difference these make!. She has one in front of her stove and the other she moves from the sink to the counter top so I guess she needs another. Anyway, more people should have them.

Your Body Will Thank You!

I purchased two 3' items for my Mother for Mother's Day. She LOVES them! She placed them side by side in her kitchen and I commented that a 6' would've been more appropriate, but she was happy with the 3' items because they are heavy. She would not be able to easily move the mats to clean under them, if she had the 6' mat.
Standing on these mats are heaven, just as advertised. And, because they are heavy, will not trip her as the edges lay flat against the floor.
The only disappointment was that gift wrapping was offered as an option at check out, but they cannot be wrapped and arrived in their boxes. Gift cards were put in each box.
If you can part with the cash, your body with thank you.

For Christmas 2008, I gave my TEN children two GEL MATS each, and of course I gave myself two also. They are a big hit for all. I've had achy feet for a long time (too much cooking), now I have some relief. I recommend everyone who spends time in the kitchen should have these mats. They're the greatest.
Pros: comfortable and attractive, easy to wipe off
Cons: a little expensive

If you do lots of cooking and suffer from any kind of pain from standing, GET THESE MATS!! I bought these for my husband for Christmas and he thanks me every day. Literally. For the first time he has no heel or lower back pain, and cooking fatigue is no longer a problem. We have the 36" and the 72" and are planning to get another to complete the kitchen comfort zone. Love them!!
Pros: makes cooking fun again
Cons: haven't found one yet.

I gave a couple of these out as gifts this past Christmas, and both recipients fell in love with them. They really make standing at the sink or stove a lot easier on your legs and back- and they are by far a lot easier to clean than rugs or traditional mats. Great investment!

I had always wondered if these mats were worth the price. I ordered one right before Thanksgiving - I was amazed at the comfort. After a day of cooking, I soon realized that I needed one in front of the sink and immediately ordered another. This will be one of the gifts that I will give to all of my "cooking" friends. Worth every penny and ordering through Chefs Catalog, free shipping & it's FedEx'd and you'll wonder how you cooked all those meals before without the Gel Pro Chef's Mat.
Pros: comfort comfort comfort
