Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
A must-have accessory if you spend hours in the kitchen baking, canning and prepping fabulous dishes for dinner parties, the GelPro ergonomic floor mat helps reduce the discomfort of standing on hard flooring with a proprietary shock-absorbing gel core. The soft gel is engineered to distribute your weight evenly and it can help prevent the fatigue, conforming to the shape of your feet and providing increased blood flow and soothing relief from the pressure. It's great for everyone, and especially helpful for those with back pain, foot pain, or arthritis.
But more than just a mat for the kitchen, the GelPro mat is perfect for any room in your home where you stand on hard flooring for an extended period of time can cause fatigue and discomfort in the feet, legs and lower back--including the bathroom, laundry/utility room, garage or game room. This mat measures 20 by 36 inches and comes in a truffle brown color that is easily paired with a wood-themed decor or with the finest leather furniture. The basketweave construction has the appearance of interwoven leather strips, but is actually a one-piece high performance coated textile.
 The GelPro basketweave mat in truffle brown. |
 Whether your tastes are traditional, ultra-modern, rustic or something in between, the GelPro basketweave mat has universal appeal. |
Familiar and clean in design, each GelPro mat is made from a three-dimensional texture that feels wonderful under foot and it's constructed from high quality composite leather fabrics--resulting in a mat that is more versatile, more durable and easier to clean. The non-slip bottom is made from a durable polyester knit base fabric that is hypo-allergenic and non-irritating. It's also engineered to resist bacteria, mold, and algae that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration, and it also contains an anti-static compatibility ingredient that limits the mats movement on most hard flooring surfaces.
The Technology Behind GelPro
The most distinguishing characteristic of the GelPro mat is the soft, shock-absorbing gel core that's used as the support mechanism, as opposed to the foam used by other household mats. When you step on a foam mat, your weight typically stays in one spot as the foam compresses making the mat harder at the point of contact. A GelPro mat, by contrast, contours to your feet as weight is applied and pushes evenly the entire time you are on the mat. This contouring characteristic takes place instantaneously each time you step on your GelPro mat and continues throughout the duration of your time on the mat.

The unique properties of the gel enable GelPro mats to provide the most comfortable surface to stand on, regardless of the type of hard flooring you have in your home.
Advanced Medical Anti-Fatigue
Everyone can benefit from the comfort provided by a GelPro mat. There are, however, millions of individuals that are especially susceptible to hard, unforgiving flooring. Chief among them--young and old alike--are those with painful arthritis, lower back pain, foot pain, plantar fasciitis, and diabetes, which are all exacerbated by standing on hard flooring
GelPro mats have unique and unsurpassed ergonomic properties to help counter these irritating and disabling pains. While GelPro mats are not a solution for serious medical conditions, they can help prevent the fatigue that causes muscles strains and spasms that can lead to irritated nerves and pain in your back.
Product Description
GelPro gel-filled anti-fatigue floor mats are scientifically engineered to provide maximum comfort without compromising visual appeal, and while they are great for everyone, they are perfect for people with foot pain, back pain, or arthritis.

New evaluation,
By
This review is from: GelPro Basketweave Mat (Kitchen)
Like many others, I bought three of the mats to place in strategic places in my kitchen. They are very comfortable to stand on, but the curling edges have grown increasingly worse. I emailed a query to gelpro, and they told me to shake them out and turn them. I'm assuming that advice is a form of acknowledgement of the problem. I tried it--no help. It's interesting that the mats began to fail shortly after being out of warranty. I even turned mine upside down and used them that way for a week to see if the surface tension issue would correct itself. No dice. I wouldn't accept replacements from them if they offered them, because I believe it would just be a matter of time before the situation recurred. Very disappointing product and expensive mistake.
UPDATE: After further discussions with the gel pro folks, I decided to reconsider and try replacements. As the representative explained it, they are a young company and they've redesigned the mats to address the issue of curling edges. We received the replacements yesterday and the fabric on the back appears tighter. I always enjoyed standing on them while I cooked and cleaned, so we'll see if they have indeed fixed the design flaw that caused the edges to ripple. My almost two-year-old mats are in the trash and we're keeping our fingers crossed these will work. UPDATE 2: It appears they have indeed corrected the design flaw that causes the mats to curl. We've used them now for a few months and they look like they did right out of the box. As ever, standing on them is great and now that they aren't a trip hazard, we're extremely pleased with our mats.

Bad Initial Experience,
By W. Gallagher (Carlisle, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GelPro Basketweave Mat, 20 by 72 Inches, Truffle (Kitchen)
My wife and I purchased a mat for in front of our sink directly from the company after seeing their products advertised in a number of home-related magazines. After a short while, the edges began to curl in the front, and we would be able to correct that by turning the mat 180 degrees. Eventually all four edges kept curling and we both constantly trip over the mat; it's a hazard. When I finally contacted the company, their response was that the item was out of warranty - BUT they offered me a 25% discount on getting another mat. Of course, that will end up like a bowl, too, so that would be more money down the drain.
[Following the posting of this initial review, I was contacted the following week by a representative of GelPro. He was extremely friendly and inquisitive about the exact problem I was experiencing and was able to reference the previous contact I had made. The result of this contact was that I was permitted to choose another mat to replace what he was calling a "defective" sample, and they sent me a prepaid UPS label to return the old mat to study it. "John" pointed out that they occasionally have had some problems with certain fabrics, and that was presumed to be the case with ours. My best description was to say that the top fabric seemed to have less surface area than the bottom -which caused the edges to rise up. The bottom line is that we now have a new mat, and the old one is on the way back to the company. I probably should have been more forceful with my original complaint and rather than accepting the response of the original customer service rep. We are pleased to see that an All-American company like this is standing by its product. Please note that Amazon allows one to edit a posting, but not the original star rating.]

High quality product and service,
By Mike A. (Clarkston, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GelPro Basketweave Mat, 20 by 72 Inches, Truffle (Kitchen)
Disregard my previous review. Due to an e-mail mixup, I did not respond promptly to the company's answer to my query. I was subsequently contacted by phone by the company and submitted a digital picture of the faulty mat. They immediately replaced the mat, free of charge. We have been very satisfied with the mats we purchased and with the warranty. They are indeed a class act, and the product rates 5 stars.
