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.

Users 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.

Ergonomic Benefits

• Reduces Fatigue - Eco-Pro Anti-Fatigue Mats are designed with the sole purpose of reducing fatigue from standing. The high degree of cushioning reduces sustained pressure on the soles of the feet and encourages a continuous flexing of the muscles and joints which encourages blood flow in the lower legs. This reduction in fatigue can improve concentration, lead to better productivity, and increase overall energy levels.

• Reduces Risk of Lower Limb Issues - Extended standing on hard surfaces can result in damage to the joints of the lower limbs and can increase the potential for swelling (edema) as blood pools in the legs. The highly cushioned and responsive surface of the Eco-Pro Mats reduces these risks by reducing the impact on joints and encouraging ongoing small muscle movements that help to move blood back out of the legs.

• Increases Standing Time - Most people find that standing for extended periods, especially on a hard tile or concrete floor (or thinly carpeted concrete floors) is actually quite exhausting to the feet, legs, and then the entire body. Employing an anti-fatigue mat such as the Eco-Pro Anti-Fatigue Mats, designed specifically to reduce the pressure on the soles of the feet and increase the movements which boost energy, can greatly extend the length of their standing periods.

• Can Reduce Risk of Back Injury - Highly cushioned, anti-fatigue mats such as the Eco-Pro line can reduce the risk of spinal compression as the mat absorbs impact as users shift their weight throughout the workday. It also encourages more flexibility as muscles perform small adjustments as users shift their weight on the mats, changing the angles at which their ankles, knees and hips are positioned. This translates into regular movement of the lower back muscles which would not occur when standing on a rigid flooring surface.

• Can Lead to Improved Safety and Performance - Tired workers make mistakes. Depending on the type of work being performed this can be as minor as simple errors in written communications to costly and life-changing injuries. By reducing the fatigue level with a quality anti-fatigue mat designed specifically for standing users can work not only more safely but with increased productivity.

Features

• 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.
