'The Grimsby Pie Company' in Grimsby needed to address staff complaints about foot and back pain at their main food preparation and packing benches, which sit on a cold, hard concrete floor. They installed the COBA FA100 mats at each workstation.
"We noticed the difference almost immediately. The team are more comfortable, especially towards the end of a long shift. It's a small change that's had a really positive effect on morale and has cut down on complaints about aches and pains."
David Chen – Operations Manager
The business reported a significant drop in staff complaints related to physical fatigue within the first month of use.
Ever wonder why standing perfectly still is more tiring than walking? It's because your muscles become static, restricting blood flow and causing aches. The 'raised bubble surface' of this anti-fatigue mat for kitchens is cleverly designed to prevent this. Think of it like standing on soft, uneven ground. The bubbles force your feet and leg muscles to make constant, tiny, subconscious adjustments to maintain balance. This micro-movement keeps the muscles active, promoting healthy circulation and stopping the blood from pooling in your legs. It’s a simple but incredibly effective way to keep your team feeling energised and pain-free, even after hours on their feet.
Q: Is this commercial anti-fatigue kitchen mat genuinely slip-resistant?
A: Yes, its rubber construction provides excellent grip on most dry and damp floor surfaces. However, it is not specifically designed for greasy or oily areas.
Q: How do I clean the mat?
A: For daily cleaning, simply sweep or brush it. For a more thorough clean, use a mop with a mild detergent and warm water, then allow it to air dry.
Q: Does the mat have a strong rubber smell?
A: Like most new rubber products, there may be a faint odour initially. This typically dissipates within a few days once it's been aired out.
Q: What is the purpose of the bubble surface?
A: The raised bubbles encourage micro-movements in your leg muscles, which helps to stimulate blood flow and reduce the fatigue caused by standing still for long periods.
Q: Can I cut this mat to a custom size?
A: We don't recommend cutting the mat as this will remove the moulded, anti-trip safety edge, which is a key safety feature.
Q: How thick is the mat?
A: The mat has a thickness of 14mm, providing a substantial layer of cushioning and insulation from cold floors.
Q: Is the mat heavy?
A: Being made from solid rubber, it has some weight to it. This is an advantage as it helps the mat stay securely in place and not slide around during use.
Q: Can this be used in a walk-in freezer?
A: While it insulates against cold floors, standard rubber can become brittle at freezing temperatures. We'd recommend a mat specifically designed for freezer use.
