NewLife Eco-Pro Anti-Fatigue Mats

The NewLife Eco-Pro Anti-Fatigue Mats by Lets Gel provide users with the ideal balance of comfort and support for standing applications. The 0.75" thick mats feature a proprietary commercial grade Cellulon Polyurethane Technology which can handle the heavy usage of a workplace environment without losing resiliency (i.e. bottoming out, fatiguing or collapsing over time). The mats are stain and puncture resistant, have anti-microbial properties, and feature eco-friendly construction employing Bio-Foam—a renewable plant based resource.

The high degree of cushioning or "bounce" which Eco-Pro mats provide can reduce spinal compression and reduce or prevent discomfort in the feet, legs and lower back. In addition, the movement which the mats encourage can also aid in encouraging flexing of the calf muscles which can result in improved bloodflow in the lower legs. By encouraging users to move and flex their feet throughout the day the mats can reduce the constant stress which joints of the lower limbs are subjected to, spreading the load over a wider area and reducing the potential for stiff and aching joints resulting from inactivity.

Unlike some "anti-fatigue" mats which are advertised as being suitable for either standing or for sitting on in an office chair - Eco-Pro Anti-Fatigue mats are designed for standing only. The result is that Eco-Pro mats provide a much higher degree of cushioning than those other "hybrid use" mats, providing users with greater comfort throughout the day.

NewLife Eco-Pro mats are manufactured in the USA and certified by the National Floor Safety Institute for their high traction no-slip bottom surface. All edges are beveled at 18° which greatly reduces the potential for the mat becoming a tripping hazard. They are available in a variety of sizes to meet the needs of most implementations, and come in Black and Taupe.

Those who prefer to work without footwear may find the GelPro Elite Anti-Fatigue Mat a more appealing alternative as it is designed with this type of usage in mind.

• Superb Cushioning: Eco-Pro mats have a well-deserved reputation for their cushioning. Users find that fatigue and general discomfort is greatly reduced. The "bounce" which the mats provide subconsciously encourages small movements of the feet, ankles and even knees which in turn reduce the risks associated with static standing.
• Designed for Standing: Eco-Pro Anti-Fatigue Mats are designed for standing, not sitting. For this reason they are able to offer a much greater degree of support and cushioning to users than other "anti-fatigue" products which are promoted as suitable for use with an office chair. With no sacrifice necessary to accommodate the movement of a chair the Eco-Pro can achieve much higher comfort levels than those other firmer dual-purpose mats can provide. There is a rule-of-thumb which applies here – i.e. "A good anti-fatigue mat will not make a good chair mat, and a good chair mat will not make a good anti-fatigue mat". Any mat which is promoted to serve both purposes is making a sacrifice in performance for both purposes.
• Commercial Grade: The Eco-Pro mats are commercial grade, designed to survive heavy use. They will never delaminate, or bottom out.
• Eco-Friendly: Eco-Pro mats are formed from Bio-Foam, a natural plant-based renewable resource.
• High-Traction Bottom: Safety is ensured. The high traction bottom hugs the floor, keeping the mats securely in position. For this reason Eco-Pro mats are certified by the National Floor Safety Institute.
• Beveled Edges: Additional safety is provided by the 18° beveled edges which reduce the risk of tripping for both users and passersby.
• Durable Surface: Eco-Pro mats are puncture and stain resistant and, unlike gel mats, will not "leak" if damaged. In fact, the mats will continue to function without any change.
• Naturally Anti-Microbial: The Eco-Pro mats are naturally anti-microbial and the sealed upper and lower surfaces mean they can be easily cleaned as necessary. Of course, punctures or cuts to the surface will affect their moisture resistance capabilities.
• Warranty: Eco-Pro mats are backed by a 5-Year Warranty.

• Construction: Bio-Foam - Plant-based and Eco-Friendly Renewable Resource
• Available Colours: Black, Taupe (see Image Gallery)

• Avoid standing on Eco-Pro mats with stiletto style heels. Although they are highly resistant to punctures this type of usage will increase the risk of damaging the surface.
• Avoid footwear which can increase the risk of "ankle twisting". Since the cushioning of the mats encourage a natural movement of the feet and ankles, anyone using them with higher heels should be careful to not "overflex".
• Actively engage your feet and legs in movement. Take advantage of the resiliency of your Eco-Pro Mat and make a point of shifting or rocking your feet. Doing this will reduce the amount of time you keep pressure on any given part of your foot, engage muscles which can increase blood flow, and encourage use of small muscles which can become tight from fixed standing positions. This will also result in more energy as your body maintains a level of activity not present when standing statically.
• Do not expect to roll a chair or other weighted equipment over an Eco-Pro Anti-Fatigue Mat. The small weight-bearing surface which casters and wheels have will cause them to "sink" into the mat—effectively locking the wheel in place. While a chair with casters can be placed on these mats movement will be all but impossible once the chair is occupied.
