Topo Comfort Mat by Ergodriven | The Original Not-Flat Anti-Fatigue Standing Desk Mat with Calculated Terrain | Accessories | Obsidian Black

This mat is a dream come true and I've been telling all my friends about it so I figured it was worthy of a 5-star review.I am a dancer but I also work and game at a standing desk, so it's great being able to stretch and manipulate my feet when I'm between sessions. This is so much better than just standing around in sneakers or on a traditional mat. Being able to do that coveted stair-lift stretch brings joy to my dancer heart and relieves sore feet so much more efficiently than traditional floor stretching. The edges and the little ball in the middle have just the right amount of squishy resistance that my feet need to stay flexible and it's also great if you find you're a fidgety person that struggles standing in one spot for too long. I can stand on this thing for hours without getting foot fatigue. I will be requesting one of these at all my workplaces.I try to only buy things on Amazon that I'll plan to use over a long period of time because I care deeply about our planet and don't want to add to the growing mountains of waste in our landfills and oceans. I'm not disappointed with the quality of the materials or the thickness and can see this thing lasting a very very long time.I rarely write these kinds of reviews so if I'm here writing this - trust me. It's a good product. The only downside is that it costs so much to ship to New Zealand, and I was worried about the value before it arrived. I'm so happy with it and it was well worth the expense.I can see other ways these types of mats can be useful (particularly for VR gaming) so if the manufacturer is willing to listen, I'd love to spit ball some ideas.

I’m 6’2” and weigh 330 pounds. I recently invested in a standing desk to help reduce my sedentary habits, shed some extra weight, and get back into shape. I experience foot pain quite often, including plantar fasciitis, so I decided to try the Non-Flat Anti-Fatigue Mat, hoping it would help me stretch and exercise my feet. This mat has far exceeded my expectations.Unmatched Foot Comfort and ReliefStanding barefoot on the Non-Flat Anti-Fatigue Mat has been a revelation. The various surfaces allow me to massage my feet all day long. The textured areas and different angles are perfect for stretching my toes forward and backward, giving me a great range of motion that I didn’t have before. My feet, which usually ache after long days, actually feel less painful now, despite standing all day.Full-Body EngagementI’ve found myself using the mat for much more than just standing. I use the back edge to stretch my calves, often standing on the balls of my feet and lowering myself down to deepen the stretch. The mat’s design also lets me do calf raises throughout the day, keeping my legs active and engaged.Perfect for Asian SquatsOne of the unexpected benefits of this mat is how well it supports me during Asian (resting) squats. I can comfortably squat for 5-10 minutes at a time while working, with the mat providing the stability I need. This is something I never thought I’d be able to do for extended periods.Productivity BoostI struggle with narcolepsy, and staying awake, alert, and productive throughout the day has always been a challenge, especially during meetings. Since I started using the Non-Flat Anti-Fatigue Mat, my productivity has skyrocketed. Standing helps me stay far more awake and engaged, and this mat allows me to stand much longer without discomfort. It’s been a game-changer for maintaining focus and energy during my long 12-hour shifts.12-Hour Shifts, All Day StandingI work long shifts—often 12 hours at my desk. I initially thought I’d stand for just a few hours each day and sit for the rest. However, this mat has made it so comfortable that I now stand all day long. Despite the long hours, my feet feel better than they have in a long time, and my overall posture has improved.Final ThoughtsAfter only a few weeks of use, I can confidently say that the Non-Flat Anti-Fatigue Mat has been a game-changer for my workday, my foot health, and my productivity. If you’re looking to stand for work, this mat is a must-have!

Ok first with the negatives:It does in fact have a smell. Depending on who you are, the smell can be somewhat overwhelming. It smells like plastic and warehouse. What I ended up doing was covering a large t-shirt with some deodorizing spray and then wrapped the shirt around the entire mat. It wraps it with some effort and allows for bare-foot standing without coating your feet in gross smells. I used an old, clean, men's black shirt to match.Now the positives:It works amazingly for standing desks. The ridges around the outside provide great support for your feet and allow you to flex your ankle and toes. The tear-drop in the center is absolutely wonderful on the arches. I've stood for hours and this thing is so plush yet sturdy that I feel minimal wear on my calves. The entire back part is great for stretches. Even the flat part of the mat is leagues above standing on hardwood for 2 hours.The quality of build is excellent. It feels like this mat can last a few years of heavy use. I would imagine the teardrop will flatten more and more as I use it, but it does feel like it's built excellently.I would recommend this for anyone with a standing desk or a security job where you stand in one place for long periods. I can imagine using this daily. I'm sure the smell will clear long before the mat falls apart. Then I can remove the t-shirt if necessary.*Note to anyone who wants to use the t-shirt cover; make sure to wash the shirt if you are barefoot. That shirt is gonna smell like rancid vinegar very quickly without proper washing (you know who you are...)It would be great if the manufacturers could maybe store their products with some kind of activated-charcoal smell remover or something similar. That way they will hopefully be less smelly by the time they get sold and shipped.

I love it. Better then than I hoped for. My foot pain is decreased (plantar Fasciitis,) I can stretch my calves, use the foot massage, and it’s entertaining because I can bounce on the thicker outer rim part. I would give it 5 stars if it had an extra foot massage station. Overall really great though!
