Performance Warranty:
✔ Yes – All AcroMat 100-Series mats, including the 100-ESD Series and 100-Cleanroom Series, are covered under a Lifetime Performance Warranty. The warranty promises the mats will remain permanently resilient and never sink, flatten, or lose their cushion. In addition, the warranty guarantees they will never curl along the borders, preventing a dangerous trip hazard. The warranty also covers seam integrity.
In 2025, AcroMat validated its warranty claims with OSHA-accredited, third-party testing, including dynamic fatigue, force compression, curl resistance, and seam strength. AcroMat is the only mat provider in the world to offer lifetime performance protections for both ergonomic cushion and curl resistance, backed by rigorous and publicly available third-party test data.
AcroMat's Lifetime Performance Warranty promises all 100-Series mats will never curl along the borders. AcroMat verified this promise with third-party testing. Highlighted in the image above, the AcroMat 100-1 Series showed no sign of curling after 5 years of accelerated aging while the competitor diamond-plate mat curled in <1 year. Test Results.

The AcroMat 100-1 Series: Lifetime warranty backed by OSHA-accredited testing, free trial mat to keep and put to the test, and unlimited shape and size options.
Conclusion: Ask, Test, Confirm
Fifty-two percent of the safety, manufacturing, and continuous improvement leaders we surveyed expect their anti-fatigue mats to last at least 2 years. Nearly 70% say they aren't lasting a single year. If you're in the market for new anti-fatigue mats, you can make sure you don't fall into this trap by following a simple 4-step process.
Step 1, get a free sample or multiple samples.
Identify 2-3 mat styles you want to trial. Request a free, full-sized sample mat. Place the mats in your production area. Test them for 30–60 days at minimum.
Step 2, gather feedback from your users.
Handout a hardcopy of our Trial Process Sample Survey or build a digital version with Survey Monkey or Microsoft Forms. Compile the results. Pro tip, there are numerous AI tools available, like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, to help summarize your data into an organized report.
Nokian Tyres shares how they went about evaluating new anti-fatigue mat options, including conducting an in-depth trial with the AcroMat 100-1 Series mat.
Step 3, review the data.
Next, review your data against the mat provider's warranty, third-party test data, and alongside testimonials and/or peers who use the mats.
The AcroMat 100-1 Series underwent ASTM International dynamic fatigue testing, proving to be 3X more resilient than competitor PVC foam mats. Test Results.

Step 4, ask-ask-ask.
Finally, before ever hitting that buy button, ask your mat provider every question you can think of. If something isn't covered under warranty, ask why. If you're worried about your mats curling or falling apart, ask your provider how their mats are designed to prevent this. If test data isn't available, ask your provider to share it or conduct the test.
It's 2026. Transparency and accountability are table stakes, and something you should not only expect but demand. You no longer have to settle for anti-fatigue mats you think will perform. Buy with confidence, certainty, and peace of mind.
