The Best Standing Desk Mats in 2022

CubeFit Terramat Anti Fatigue Mat

We start things off with a pretty serious office floor mat. The CubeFit Terramat is unlike most other standing desk floor mats in that it’s not simply flat. Instead, it’s been designed from the ground up by an engineer and personal trainer to take into account movement and posture. The inclusion of a balance bar, support track, massage mounds, and more allow you to get the exercise and comfort you need while working at your desk, and the larger size gives you more range of movement as well.

Just as important is the fact that this is a mat built to last. The Terramat is made of 100% Phthalate-free material to last longer and remain resistant to bacteria, and its shock absorbent structure will minimize the impact on your feet from extended work sessions. It’s also significantly thicker than most of its contemporaries.

Ergodriven Topo Standing Desk Mat

The Topo by Ergodrive doesn’t offer all of the different activities that you’ll find in something like the CubeFit Terramat, but if you’re looking for something that offers the same sort of ergonomic contours without the sometimes unnecessary complexities, the Topo will be a great fit for you. The sloping design and cushioned terrain subconsciously encourages movement without forcing you into it like a treadmill might, and the smart design makes it easier to shift between sitting and standing positions. You can position yourself stably with just one foot.

As much care has gone into the build of this cushioned floor mat as has gone into its design. Constructed from 100% polyurethane foam, the board is both comfortable and incredibly durable, and it employs a pebbled structure that gives your feet a better sense of grip and texture. All told, it’s a board that excels in the smartness of its construction.

AmazonBasics Anti-Fatigue Standing Comfort Mat

AmazonBasics have become a standard on almost all of our guides regardless of the category. And it serves the same purpose her as it does in our other guides: to serve as a control variable. You can count on AmazonBasics products to establish the baseline features and quality standards you should expect from the product while also providing some of the best performance in terms of sheer value for the dollar.

That’s to say that this desk mat doesn’t do anything special, but it does everything right. The simple design is well supported by cushiony material and a non-slip and textured surface that makes it appropriate for use both in the office and around the home. It’s designed to stay in place without curling up. It’s functionality is spartan but perfectly executed, and that makes it deserving of a position on our list.

FEZIBO Wobble Balance Board

Fatigue mats are a fresh enough concept that every other manufacturer is trying to provide an innovative new approach in terms of design. Finding a way to encourage movement in subconscious and interesting ways is the most popular option, and FEZIBO has come up with one of the most interesting solutions to the problem of inactivity. Their standing pads are also wobble boards, and adjusting your center of balance will become like second nature after a short time making use of this computer floor mat.

Further increasing the utility of this mat is the inclusion of smartly designed bumps built into the mat. These gently massage your feet, relaxing your muscles and stimulating blood flow to your extremities. Not only does it feel great, but it’s an ideal way to stay warm in the colder months of the year.

Sky Solutions Ergonomic Standing Desk Mat

The Genius Mat by Sky Mats may be a bit overconfident in its naming, but it’s still an exceptional desk floor mat that provides you with the stimulation you need to keep your muscles active and your body in shape. The contoured design is pretty similar to the Topo and the Terramat to a degree that the general shape can be considered the standard for non-flat variants of standing desk pads. But the massage ball built into the middle is the big selling point here. A number of different contours and ridges built into the sides allow you to get a decent amount of variety throughout your workday.

ComfiLife Anti Fatigue Floor Mat

Whether you’re looking for a sensible kitchen mat or a more streamlined standing desk mat, the ComfiLife can fit your needs. This is a flat mat, so you won’t find all of the ergonomic bells and whistles that come with some of the more complicated options, but it’s well designed and spacious enough to fit a wide variety of environments. The high density foam this is constructed from is 3/4″ thick, and it’s available in two separate sizes. It’s functionally pretty similar to the AmazonBasics in terms of both design and pricing and is a great choice if you don’t need anything too elaborate.

Ergodriven Topo Mini Anti-Fatigue Mat

If the traditional Topo is a little too big for your office space, the Topo Mini may be more suited to your needs. It takes the same general design philosophy as its bigger sibling and shrinks it down to suit a smaller model. The curves and contours encourage not just activity but varied action, and it utilizes the same cushioned terrain that puts an emphasis on replicating how we naturally shift out stance out in the real world. It’s a naturally approach that’s not quite so heavy handed as a traditional balance board, and you can transition easily from standing to sitting position and back again with a single foot.

Sky Solutions Anti Fatigue Standing Mat

Sky Solution doesn’t deal exclusively in full active pads. The Sky Mat is their attempt to create a premium approach to more traditional flat anti fatigue mats, but it’s more a collection than a single item in and of itself. Sky Mats are available in eight different colors and in three different sizes, so it’s easy to find one that matches your style and your practical needs. While it may appear fairly basic at a glance, a lot of thought has gone into the construction of these mats. From the beveled edges and the no-slip rubber bottom to the eco-friendly materials, this is a spin on the standing office desk mat that screams premium quality.

Butterfly Not-Flat Standing Desk Anti Fatigue Mat

Is there something in particular about the shape of a butterfly that makes it more ergonomic than other shapes? Probably not, but it allows for a good starting point for creating a standing desk mat for floor use. The way the body bisects the wings creates a sense of segregated space that’s less common in a lot of other mats, but there’s still plenty of variety and freedom for movement in the space provided.

The polyurethane foam is soft, high-quality, and lightly pebbled to provide you with a sense of friction whether you’re using the mat barefoot or in shoes, and it can easily be positioned with a single foot. The body is about more than just splitting the pad in half too. It’s one of the more meaningful massage points in a pad packed with them.

GORILLA GRIP Anti-Fatigue Comfort Mat

The Gorilla Grip isn’t characterized by complex contours, massage points, or the expertise of yogi or engineers, but it’s easily one of the best gel floor mats around. This is a desk pad that sells itself on the quality of its materials alone, and it delivers admirably in that regard. It uses some of the highest grade foam in the business, and it comes in at a full 3/4 inch thickness to provide you with the comfort and support that you deserve.

Standing Workstation Anti-Fatigue Comfort Mat

If you’re shopping for standing mats for the office, this complex anti-fatigue comfort mat will suit your needs well.

While the majority of the base is flat, the raised edges are creative and varied in their purpose, allowing you to get a lot of variety in your stances and workout routines. This isn’t a mat that will force you to get activity, but it will provide you plenty of opportunities if you choose to pursue them. And the low profile design means it can slip easily out of sight and out of mind when it’s time to leave the office.

Ergohead Standing Desk Mat
