Floor mats come in many materials suited to comfort. Many also include a top layer of fabric to give your mat some decorative appeal.
Used extensively in industrial kitchen mats for restaurants and commercial kitchens, kitchen mats made with rubber are highly durable. They make long stretches of standing easier on the legs and hold up well under extensive amounts of foot traffic. If you have a cottage business requiring a lot of kitchen work, this is a good choice for you.
You might want to work barefoot in a kitchen with a cushioned mat made from foam. The surface of the mat hugs the bottom of your feet as they sink just slightly into the semi-plush material.
Textiles like wool and canvas are popular options for ornamental kitchen rugs and floor mats, and are available in numerous colors, prints, and patterns. These fabrics often form the top layer for rubber or foam mats, giving them an added level of durability, or they’re used by themselves in an array of mats and rugs for the kitchen.
