Working standing up is healthy. However, if you do it a lot - because you have a standing profession, for example - it can be exhausting to your feet. A standing mat forms a soft buffer between you and the hard floor. It relieves the feet, ensures an active posture and can have a massaging effect.
The solution? A standing mat.

Standing mats relieve the feet and improve posture
Sitting too much isn't good, but standing too much isn't either. After standing for several hours, we often adopt a wrong posture or make strange rotational moves with our feet – anything for a little relieve. That is not healthy and it is simply not necessary. Standing mats for work are specially designed to make standing work more comfortable. At Worktrainer we sell various active standing mats, such as the Aeris Muvmat and anti fatigue standing mats from Kybun.
Our bestseller: the Aeris Muvmat
The Aeris Muvmat is an active standing mat that can be used barefoot, with socks or with shoes. The soft foam relieves the feet and provides a relaxed feeling – even after standing for several hours. Special about this standing mat are the built-in sensors, which massage the pressure points in the feet during movement. Just like balance boards, standing mats are good for the muscles and good for productivity. However, because they unbalance the body less than balance boards, they are slightly more focused on relief.

Tip: with a standing mat you meet even more actively
Standing meetings behind a sit-stand conference table is becoming increasingly popular. Research shows that sitting meetings have all kinds of disadvantages. For example, seated meetings are less effective and more than a third of employees have fallen asleep at some point. With a standing mat you get even more out of your (standing) meetings:
- The feet are relieved, so you can hold meetings for a longer time.
- Standing mats activate the muscles, allowing you to participate more energetically and have better ideas.
- A standing mat stimulates the natural movement of the body, making you look more confident and relaxed.
