A cushioned mat is ideal for spending long hours in front of your stove or sink. It relieves stress on your feet, knees, hips and back. I have one of these Wellness Mats sent to me by the company last year and I absolutely love it! It's comfortable and super-easy to wipe clean if I spill something on it.I opted for one that was close in color to my honey oak floors, but you can opt for accent colors, too, if you prefer.
There are also additional sizes and patterns, if you want to customize to your look or appliance sizes. — Jamie Gold, CKD, CAPS
