Vari ActiveMat - Standing Desk Anti-Fatigue Floor Mat - Raised Sides for Stretching - Comfortable Home or Office Mat - Ergonomic Design for Movement

Been using for a few months now. Very comfy for standing desk. And the side edges are a nice touch to stretch calves. Highly recommend. It is a well-made product.

I use this mat daily. I use the raised edges to stretch my feet out and to just change up my stance during the day. I have concrete floors and found that this mat alone was not enough cushion so I added their flat mat to go underneath this one. Increased the cushioning and comfort significantly. I utilize foot massage balls and found that the raised edges help keep the balls from rolling off the mat. I highly recommend.

I bought this to go with my Varidesk Exec 48 (see separate review).The lip around the front and sides is a great idea as it gives you plenty of options to vary your stance to avoid fatigue associated with a static position.I was concerned that the flat part might be too narrow, but it is about 16" deep by 20" wide, and I have found that I can stand comfortably with feet shoulder width apart. In fact, if it were any wider, propping up on both side lips might not be possible, so the dimensions seems to be about perfect.My only complaint: it is a bit on the firm side, but I am not sure if i will get used to it and be glad, or if i will always wish it were a bit squishier. I have used it for about a week - 8 hours a day standing, and all good so far.

Very happy with this mat! I was intrigued by the Ergodriven Topo mat (available on Amazon) and the praise it gets for encouraging one's feet to be constantly in motion. With its ActiveMat, Varidesk seems to be targeting that same market. But whereas the Topo mat *forces* one to adopt an unconventional stance, the ActiveMat makes this more of an option. The entire middle region (roughly 20" wide by 18" deep) is flat and functions like a normal (and high quality!) anti-fatigue mat; this is a generous space giving one lots of room for a variety of conventional standing postures. But if/when you *want* to adopt an unconventional stance (with ridges, etc.), you have plenty of opportunities awaiting you. Because of this, the ActiveMat seems to provide the best of both worlds. I have not tried the Topo mat (and people seem to love it), but, by way of comparison, it appears optimized only for unconventional stances; it does not (unlike the ActiveMat) provide a wide open region suited to a conventional stance.Like the Varidesk desk I also own, this is a high quality product. And in spite of the long estimated delivery date cited by Amazon, mine shipped quickly, arriving in 3 days.

Makes standing to work so much better. My feet haven't hurt yet when I stand throughout the day! I think it does exactly what it is supposed to. Literally the only downside is that when I do need to sit down it is kinda big and can get in the way. But I've got it to slide under my desk just right so I don't have to hoist it and relocate it when I wanna use my office chair!

The Active Mat arrived in about 3 days, way before the estimated date. I immediately took it out of the box and put it down in front of my Varidesk 36". I really liked how the mat made me move around while standing as well as the added cushion under my feet. However after using the mat for about an hour I started to get a bad headache and started to feel sick from the smell of the rubber material. I thought maybe it just needs to air out for a bit so I set the mat off to the side of the room. Everyday now for the past 4 days I've tried using it but within 30-60 minutes I start to feel sick again from the rubber. I'm pretty disappointed with this product right now. I was excited to add this to my work space but if the smell doesn't go away in the next week or so I'll be returning it.

When I first opened the box I thought they sent me the wrong floor pad because it's rather funny shaped. I no longer have ankle or knee pains. I can stand for hours and hours now, with no back pain. I love this mat.

This is wonderful! I use it at my adjustable height desk at work. Not only does it cushion my feet but I am always using it to stretch.

Very comfortable. Makes standing for half my day easy

Die matte kam schneller an als Amazon gesagt hat. In 2 Werktagen war sie da.Die Qualität ist sehr gut, sie ist robust und gut verarbeitet. Man kann sehr gut drauf stehen, ich bin gespannt wie sie mit dem Tisch zusammen arbeitet.Bis jetzt sehr zufrieden!
