Anti-fatigue mats are designed to help reduce tiredness and fatigue while working on harder floor surfaces in shops, warehouses, and workshops. These special mats are made from materials that include foam, rubber, and gel as they are great at providing comfortable, cushioned support. They are suitable for many different workplaces and are an affordable solution to help keep you and your staff motivated while working long hours. Here at BiGDUG, we are a leading supplier of anti-fatigue mats and workshop flooring in the UK.

Benefits

Anti-fatigue mats can boost productivity, workplace morale and physical well-being. Let’s look closer at the key benefits of anti-fatigue mats right now.

Reduced Fatigue and Discomfort

When standing on hard surfaces for long, lengthy periods, there is a risk of developing joint pain, muscle fatigue, and general discomfort. Anti-fatigue mats help relieve these problems by providing a cushioned, supportive surface to stand and work on. This ensures team members feel more comfortable during their shifts and are likely to experience less of the physical strain that can limit their productivity. For example, when you need an anti-fatigue kitchen mat to help chefs work through long hours of meal preparation, the right mat can make all the difference.

Better Circulation

With the subtle, cushioned surface, anti-fatigue mats allow for gentle movements and shifts in posture that help to reduce strain on the body. These small adjustments while standing help promote blood flow compared to the hard, rigid surface of a workshop or warehouse floor. When you invest in an anti-fatigue mat, you help reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis by stopping the blood pooling in your legs when standing too static for too long.

Reduces Muscle Strain

Another important benefit of anti-fatigue mats is that they encourage small changes in posture and weight distribution. This can aid reduction of stiffness and strain in muscles.

Improved Concentration and Energy

When we work comfortably, we work in a more attentive state – especially when we aren’t fatigued! This makes it easier to focus on work and not be distracted by constant discomfort. When pain and discomfort are reduced, we are more likely to pay close attention to detail and therefore less likely to make mistakes at work. Anti-fatigue mats reduce the physical toll and discomfort of standing on hard surfaces for lengthy periods with their cushioned, supportive design. When you want to maintain high productivity levels throughout a workday, an anti-fatigue mat is always worth the investment!

Better Safety Standards and Workplace Morale

Anti-fatigue mats are also popular because they can reduce the chances of slips, trips and falls since most have a grip-enhancing surface to provide traction to our feet. Team members are more likely to feel appreciated when measures have been put in place to prevent fatigue and injuries in the workplace, which is great for morale and therefore productivity.
