I was all ready to buy a gel-pro, since my knees are extremely iffy and standing to prepare food is an epic battle...BUT: you know what, I've found other mats at Goodwill that are WAY better than the gelmats (I've stood on them). I have dreamy mats that -- well, this is funny -- I just looked up the brand name on it and it's evidently a sleeping mat for camping! Just find a rug to go over it and you'll be very very happy.

Here is a link that might be useful: go to a camping store and stand on one, you'll see :)

I have one. I purchased it and BB&B. It was out of the box so I got it for 1/2 price, the long one. It is wonderful to stand on but I don'the like the solidness of the color so I am still going to need to purchase a rug to go over it.

Thank you, VERY Interesting! flyleft, we have a bunch of camping mats in the motorhome, I'm going out to give them a try! Makes perfect sense to me but never would have had the connecting thought, Thank You!
tishtoshnm, lucky you with a 1/2 price find!

I have a long Gelmat in the laundry room n front of the sink. The floor in there is concrete and the mat helps a lot. it has been there since Christmas. So far, it has held up to pet paws, dirt, splashes, etc.
