Anti-Fatigue Mat 101
What are the benefits of anti-fatigue mats?
100% nitrile rubber foam anti-fatigue mats, the material we use to make our mats here at AcroMat, reduce foot, leg and lower back pain by as much as 50% compared to hard surfaces. They work by keeping your muscles engaged, promoting healthy blood flow, and helping your body share the load which reduces overexertion.
Pure nitrile anti-fatigue mats, which never lose their ergonomic cushion, also reduce impact injuries if there were to be a fall; hip impact by 50% and head impact by as much as 70%.
Summary of nitrile anti-fatigue mat benefits:
- Anti-fatigue mats decrease static positioning by consistently, though subtly, activating the muscles – reducing risks of locked limbs and stiffness.
- Anti-fatigue mats prevent the same muscle tissues from being loaded, reducing the risk of overexertion in any one area. Stated more simply, they help your body "share the load."
- Anti-fatigue mats prevent pooling of fluids in our lower limbs and encourage healthy blood flow to/from the heart, reducing the risk of painful varicose veins and similar issues.
- Anti-fatigue mats decrease the buildup of metabolic waste, reducing risks of pain, discomfort and ultimately recordable MSD injuries.
How long do your anti-fatigue mats last?
The AcroMat 100-1, 100-Cleanroom, and 100-ESD Series anti-fatigue mats have a life expectancy of 3-8 years assuming 24/7 use. The mats are made from closed cell, virgin, 100% nitrile rubber foam, which is renowned for its durability and the fact that it will not sink or lose its ergonomic cushion, ever. The life expectancy largely depends on the environment, use, and care. In 24/7 harsh manufacturing environments with liquids, oils and product accumulation, the life expectancy will be in the 3-8 year range. In retail environment, cleanrooms, even homes, the 100-Series will likely last years longer. Pure nitrile is incapable of absorbing liquids and chemicals, which extends the life of the mat significantly.
The AcroMat NitriTuf Diamond Series also has a life expectancy of 3-8 years. The anti-fatigue pad is made from a closed cell NBR rubber foam, which is bonded under the diamond tread surface. The borders are manufactured from 100% nitrile, which is highly durable in even the most intense manufacturing environments. Collectively, the materials we use and our exclusive design process allow us to guarantee the borders will never curl. In fact, AcroMat manufactures the only diamond-plate mat guaranteed not to curl.

How are your mats different than all the others?
Almost every mat on the market is extruded using PVC foam or a PVC/nitrile blend. The key difference with AcroMat, our 100-Series mats are molded from a virgin, closed cell, 100% nitrile rubber foam that does not not include a component of PVC. This translates to a much higher quality, durability, comfort, complete imperviousness to liquids and chemicals, and our guarantee your mats will never sink, flatten or curl along the edges.

Molding vs. Extruding
Extruding rubber is the easiest way to make foam mats and why so many suppliers sell extruded mats. However, to extrude rubber you have to add a percentage of PVC foam; PVC is not impervious to liquids or chemicals, and allows material to compress over time. Are your mats sinking, buckling or curling at the edges? It's likely they were extruded with PVC foam.
At AcroMat, we manufacture our mats from molded, closed cell 100% nitrile rubber foam because of its durability, versatility, and because it serves so many industries’ needs. Pure nitrile does not include a PVC component, which enables our mats to endure without curling, flattening, or cracking in even the harshest environments. We have spent years developing this special rubber compound; it provides the maximum ergonomic benefit without being too soft, while also being durable enough to hold up in all environments for years at a time.
Pure nitrile is 100% antimicrobial, which prevents any harboring of bacteria. It's also ESD safe and Class 5 Cleanroom Certified.
When you combine our mat material with endless customization capabilities – which eliminates having to piece together standard rectangles – the result is cost savings, fewer MSD injuries, and the virtual elimination of slip, trip, and fall hazards.

Do you need custom mats or standard mats?
Workstations come in all shapes and sizes. Your anti-fatigue mats should too. If you have a complex layout, piecing mats together to cover the work area would dramatically increase slip, trip and fall risks, while causing ergonomic injury risks from constant on/off stepping and inconsistent support. Conversely, a one-piece custom mat precisely designed to fit would eliminate any mat-related slip, trip and fall hazards while reducing impact injuries and cushioning every step.
Anti-fatigue mats are designed to achieve two things:
1. Reduce slip, trip and fall hazards
2. Provide ergonomic comfort support
They shouldn't do one or the other, they should do both. Evaluate the workspace, watch your team members work and discuss needs with them, then get exactly what's needed to protect health, safety and productivity. If you're not sure whether standard sizes (e.g., 2x3, 3x5, 4x8, etc.) are ideal or if you need something more custom designed to fit, we are here to help.
An example of a layout that previously tried to fill the workspace with standard rectangular mats, creating a host of slip, trip and fall hazards. The windows manufacturer eliminated the hazards with a single custom mat designed to fit.
In this workstation, at a Medtronic facility, custom wasn't a need. A standard 3 ft. by 5 ft. 100-1 Series mat with 20-degree yellow borders fulfilled the need.
Do your anti-fatigue mats have a warranty?
The AcroMat 100-1, 100-Cleanroom, 100-ESD, and NitriTuf Diamond Series mats are covered under a 2-year full replacement performance warranty. Our warranty is unique in that, unlike "lifetime limited warranties" or "manufacturer's warranties," we not only guarantee there will be no defects in material or workmanship, our warranty also protects you from the three most common issues people face with their anti-fatigue mats.
The AcroMat warranty guarantees:
- The edges of your mat will NOT curl.
- The mat will NOT sink, flatten or lose its ergonomic cushion.
- The bonds along your mat will NOT split, weaken or come apart.
We stand behind every mat we manufacture on your behalf, and we strive to be 100% accountable to the outcome. With our straightforward, no-easy-outs warranty, you can trust that your people are protected and budget secure.
First-time customers are also eligible for our 60-day moneyback guarantee, which is a full refund if unhappy with the mat for any reason. We'll even pull the mats ourselves to save you time and lost production.
If you have any issues with your mat, call our team at 877.250.2507 or email sales@acromat.com. We will fix the issue immediately.
Do you offer free samples? What happens when you request a sample?
Yes! We want you to buy with confidence and know the mat(s) you're considering will serve your team well. Simply let us know the mat type(s) you want to sample, along with any shape or size requirements, and we will quickly get a mat in the works. If needed, our customer service representative, Maggie, will follow up to verify size, shape and delivery address.
Our standard samples are 12 in. by 12 in. squares, which we send in an AcroMat Sample Box along with an AcroMat product catalog, our specially made gummy bears, and your new favorite pen. However, we recognize 12 in. by 12 in. squares aren't always large enough to get a full trial in. This is one reason why we offer bigger samples if and when you need them, like a 2 ft. by 3 ft. mat, 3 ft. by 5 ft. mat. You may also need specific features, like yellow borders or drainage holes, which we will gladly accommodate.
The anti-fatigue mat sample process is about you finding the right mat for your team, not about our desire to book a sale. Please let us know what will give you the information you need to make the best decisions for your team, and we will gladly accommodate.
If you're looking to make a bigger change to your anti-fatigue mats and want a free full-sized custom mat you can put to the test, yet not sure the size and shape you need or how to measure and design your custom sample, we will gladly send a representative to visit your site (60 minutes in total), measure the area, design your mat, and ship it to your team, all for free.
5 key steps to make the most of your sample mat(s)
How thick should your anti-fatigue mat be?
Studies and our years of research and testing show anti-fatigue mats that are 5/8 in. to 3/4 in. thick mat have the lowest rating for overall tiredness, which is 50% lower than hard surfaces.
Anti-fatigue mats that are 1 in. or more create a sinking feeling under your feet and put added pressure on your ankles. This can also increase the risk of rolled ankles. Conversely, mats that are less than 3/8 in. lack ergonomic support and provide same amount of cushion as hardwood.
Ergonomist Crystal Nelson and AcroMat General Manager Russell Herbert discuss the ideal anti-fatigue mat thickness and whether your mats can be too soft. According to Crystal, between 5/8" and 3/4" is the ideal thickness for posture and traction.
Ergonomist and Owner of OptimaEHS, Mary Plehal, adds: “Mats that are too thick may seem to have subjectively more cushion. In reality, this creates postural instability and can cause the feet, ankles and upwards to the lower back to have to make constant micro-adjustments – similar to working in high heels. This can cause fatigue and discomfort over time.
Just as important as the thickness is whether your mats will sink over time. Review the warranty, look closely at the technical specifications, and make sure they will not sink or flatten as you use them. One way you can tell if your mats are sinking is you'll see footprints around where you most often stand; a problem that impacts postural stability and traction.

What is your lead time?
10 business days. Whether 5 standard mats or 500 custom mats, we will precision cut and ship your order within 10 business days. Many orders, like standard sizes and smaller quantities, ship in half this time. Safety doesn't wait; you shouldn't have to wait either.
This mat order for a Fortune 500 luxury department store included 1.3 collective miles of material; precision cut, built and shipped within 10 business days.
How much does it cost to customize?
We do not charge any customization fees. Whether a simple 2.5 ft. by 3.25 ft. anti-fatigue mat or a 1,000+ sq. ft. mat with custom cutouts and various angles, you only pay for the square footage of material. In fact, if you include a cutout, this actually reduces the price because you're reducing the amount of material.
As a custom anti-fatigue mat manufacturer, custom is our standard pricing. We believe custom should be as easy, fast, and cost efficient as standard, off-the-shelf matting. The safety and health of your people depend on it, and we have built our business around this approach.
If custom isn't a need, standard sizes are available at slightly lower cost (2-4 ft. in width, up to 75 ft. in length). See the Shop Mats tab for a look at the available standard sizes.

Are your mats NFSI Certified?
Yes. The AcroMat 100-1 Series, 100-Cleanroom Series, 100-ESD Series, and NitriTuf Diamond Series mats are National Floor Safety Institute (NFSI) Certified for "High Traction."
NFSI is an independent testing agency that uses an intricate testing system which helps manufacturers like AcroMat learn how our products help keep users safe from slips, trips, and falls. More importantly, wet-slip testing and certification helps you know with certainty you're investing in mats that will protect your people.
Our premium mats were tested according to NFSI's Transitional Coefficient of Friction (TCOF) scale, earning a score of 0.76, the very top end of NFSI's "high traction" category. According to NFSI, floor surfaces with a 0.6 TCOF or greater level of slip resistance when wet reduce slip-and-fall claims by 50-90%.

The AcroMat 100-1, 100-ESD, 100-Cleanroom, and NitriTuf Diamond Series anti-fatigue mats are NFSI Certified for "high traction" in wet/oily environments.
How can you stop your anti-fatigue mats from sliding?
We manufacturer our mats from premium rubber foam materials that naturally grip the floor in ways PVC foam and "box store" mats do not. Further, by custom designing your anti-fatigue mats to fit like a glove in a given area, they will have nowhere to slide and remain still.
You can also add our exclusive non-slip coating, Grip-R, to any mat purchase, which forms a firm bond between floor and the bottom surface of any floor mat, multiplying the coefficient of friction. Grip-R is eco-bio friendly, non-toxic, and can be purchased by the container or we can apply to your mats here in our facility. We manufacture Grip-R in-house, giving you unlimited and immediate access to the best non-slip coating available on the market.

Are your mats cleanroom certified?
Yes, the AcroMat 100-Cleanroom Series anti-fatigue mat is Class 5 Cleanroom Certified. Gaining this certification took 500 hours of independent testing.
Lab workers need to know with certainty their mats will not contaminate the work area. Official certification ensures this through careful, rigorous testing in cleanroom environments. If even one sample shows sign of vulnerability during testing, the mat “fails” and won't be certified.
A glimpse of the independent testing and certification process, from Ultraclean Products Approval Laboratory:
"To test and certify a mat, it's necessary to test them in Static and Dynamic situations. We require five mats for these tests. The Static tests investigate the mat material in our quality control Laboratory using two of the mats to determine the mat’s ability to remain whole and not emit particles. The dynamic tests are performed in our own cleanrooms using the other three mats under actual cleanroom personnel traffic and wear patterns. The test period is a minimum of 100 hours for each mat to ensure repeatable results and eliminate random abnormalities."
The 100-Cleanroom Series anti-fatigue mat is Class 5 Cleanroom Certified. The material had to be tested, without failure, for 500 hours to gain certification.
How do controlled environments impact rubber mats?
AcroMat's anti-fatigue mats are made from premium nitrile rubber foam. Nitrile is uniquely designed to last for 3-8 years without interruption. In fact, our mats are guaranteed (and warrantied) to not sink, flatten, curl or weaken at the seams.
Humidity control is critically important in controlled environments, like cleanrooms, to help preserve electronic devices and other vulnerable products from oxidation. While very rare, certain levels of humidity can sometimes cause rubber materials to become brittle, soften, discolor or crack – impacting the durability of your mats and lowering overall life expectancy.
As these are general "wear and tear" issues, and thus not covered by warranty, we always recommend a rigorous sample process in your controlled environment before making a mat purchase – ideally, at least 200 working hours.
This will help you know, never guess, whether the mats are a fit for your particular setting and whether the rubber materials will endure under particular humidity.

How do you make your custom mats?
We manufacture our custom mats by precision cutting and fusing together molded sheets of material into precise shapes and sizes. The bonding adhesive we use is stronger than the mat materials themselves, and as a result guaranteed (and warrantied) to never weaken, split or come apart.
Anti-fatigue mats larger than 6 ft. by 4 ft. will have slightly visible seams where the collective mat is fused together, as shown below. While seams may be slightly visible, especially on larger custom mats, the end result is a single mat that will never come apart no matter how much the mat ages over time from 24/7 use or exposure to liquids, chemicals and harsh products.
At AcroMat, we primarily partner with manufacturing, food processing, and retail companies looking for the highest performing anti-fatigue mats on the market. The banner near the bottom of our website homepage offers a glimpse of the leading brands that trust AcroMat for their anti-fatigue mat needs. Because health and safety is most important to our partners, our No. 1 focus is manufacturing mats that perform for years at a time without interruption.
Because of the comfort and durability of our premium anti-fatigue mats, we receive a high number of kitchen and home office purchases. If you're investing in a mat where aesthetic is the most important trait, please keep in mind there will be slightly visible seams on custom mats that fall outside of the 6 ft. by 4. ft. range. Because bonded seams are unrelated to performance, they are not covered under our 60-day moneyback guarantee. Bonded seams are, however, fully covered under our 2-year full-replacement performance warranty. They will never weaken, split or come apart.

What is the biggest mat you can make? Is there a limit on dimensions?
Any shape. Any size. No limit. We've designed mats well over 2,000 sq. ft. If it will help you elevate health and safety, we can design and build it. The mat below was designed with our custom mat building tool, AcroSketch, which is freely available to use here on our website.
Custom 100-1 Series, covering over 1,200 sq. ft. of floor space.
Can you print our logo or custom safety messages on your anti-fatigue mats?
Yes! Custom-printed logos and safety messaging can be added to any AcroMat 100-1 Series, 100-ESD Series, or 100-Cleanroom Series anti-fatigue mat. Unlike traditional printers where logos quickly fade or peel, our cutting-edge technology prints in four UV-LED layers – primer, white, full color, and clear-coat finish. This ensures aesthetic and long-term durability.

Are your anti-fatigue mats waterproof?
The AcroMat 100-1 Series, 100-ESD Series, and 100-Cleanroom Series are 100% impervious to liquids – including water, oil, coolant, grease and other wet chemicals. Pure nitrile is closed cell rubber foam, meaning it will not absorb any liquids or chemicals even if there is a rip or tear.
The following shows how, even if you soak 100% nitrile in water for 72 hours, it will not absorb an ounce of liquid, bloat or crack like traditional PVC foam mats.
100% nitrile rubber foam waterproof test:
The AcroMat NitriTuf Diamond Series mat, while chemical resistant, is not entirely impervious to liquids and best used in dry/dusty environments. Review the product pages for more detailed information and specifications.
What does shipping cost?
Free priority shipping on all orders of $100 or more. Orders less than $100 ship for a flat $15 fee. We ship to Canada and cover international costs for a flat $50 fee, with the same 10-day lead time. We also ship to Mexico. If you reside in Mexico, we will build and package your mat to be ready for shipping; coordinating shipping will then fall to the purchaser.
How heavy are your mats?
While exceptionally durable in even the harshest environments, nitrile anti-fatigue mats are also light and easy to pick up and move for cleanings. Pure nitrile weighs approximately 0.5 lbs. per sq. ft. As an example, a 2 ft. by 3 ft. mat weighs roughly 3 lbs., while a 4 ft. by 8 ft. mat would weigh 16 lbs.
Can you clean your mats?
Cleaning is 100% encouraged and can add up to a year of additional life to AcroMat mats. When cleaning, we recommend washing and drying fully before returning to the workspace.
The 100-1 Series, 100-ESD Series and 100-Cleanroom Series mats are made from closed cell, virgin, 100% nitrile rubber foam which can be scrubbed, broomed, wiped, mopped or even pressure washed without fear of the material breaking down. Industrial strength cleaners like ammonia, bleach, warm soapy water, and disinfectants work well and will not absorb into or break down the material. Pure nitrile is unique in that – unlike PVC foam mats or even PVC/nitrile blends (the most common material on the market today) – it’s completely impervious to liquids and chemicals. Microfiber rags and mopheads are encouraged to prevent lint or material being left behind on the mat.
Pure nitrile rubber foam, what we use to make our 100-Series mats, is impervious to liquids and chemicals, and can be cleaned without fear of erosion.
The NitriTuf Diamond Series mat is made from a closed cell NBR rubber foam. While closed cell and thus chemical resistant, and extremely durable in heavy industrial environments, we recommend brushing, brooming, mopping and/or wiping the diamond tread surface rather than soaking it with liquids for long periods. Gentle cleaners are encouraged. The NitriTuf Diamond Series is ideal for dry/dusty environments, and we encourage the same goes for the cleaning process with this mat.
Similarly, the X60 Series can be brushed, broomed, mopped and/or wiped to clean the top and bottom surfaces.
Vacuuming works on all mat surfaces. However, it's important to be gentle around the edges and along the surfaces, and to make sure no sharp objects from the vacuum pierce the material. Hand-held hoses or portable vacuums are ideal.
How long do quote requests take?
We provide quotes the same day requests are received, whether standard mats or custom shapes and sizes. All we need from you are dimensions and any specific features. If you need uniquely shaped custom mats, we also offer site visits to carefully inspect, measure your workspaces, and design the custom mats you need.
Once we nail down measurements and overall need, we will package the entire process into a clearly defined quote, within 24 hours, for your team to review.

Do you have distributors?
AcroMat is a family-owned, business-to-business, anti-fatigue mat manufacturing company. As such, we manufacture and sell directly to the end-user. We precision cut and ship every order from our business office and production facility here in Lakeville, Minnesota, just south of the Minneapolis Metro. Partnering directly with the end-user allows us to create a seamless process from start to install.
We also have a number of trusted dealers. Visit our Trusted Dealers page to see a list of distributors. We have twice as many distributors as those who are listed; shoot us a quick message to find out if your vendor is on the list.
Should I rent or buy mats?
Renting costs exponentially more over time. Rental mats tend to be lower quality and may not fit your needs. If you damage the mat, you are bound to a contract and will likely end up paying full price on the mat. Further, rentals only come in standard sizes (e.g., 2 ft. by 3 ft.) which may not fit your unique layout.
When purchasing a mat you know the price upfront and are not bound to a contract. With AcroMat, we design and precision cut your mat to the shape/size needed to fit space perfectly. The quality of material and design translates to a one-time investment followed by 5+ years of uninterrupted support.
Are mats better than insoles?
Insoles need to be replaced every ~6 months. They leave with an employee when there is turnover. You need to order specific sizes for each employee. Conversely, AcroMat anti-fatigue mats can be designed, installed, and laid out in the production facility for upwards of 8 years. They remain intact through turnover, 24-hour daily use, can be cleaned without breaking down, and provide a consistent non-slip surface and ergonomic cushion that never flattens.
In a recent webinar focused on the performance of nitrile anti-fatigue mats, Dr. Andrew Laing and his research team found "moderate" evidence that anti-fatigue mats help reduce pain, especially for the 30-50% of people worldwide who are prone to discomfort when standing.
Comparatively, his team found “very limited” evidence insoles do the same, saying the jury is still out on the effectiveness of insoles. Dr. Andrew noted how “impacting the geometry of the shoe” – e.g., raising the foot too from from the shoe with an insole – may increase the risk of slips, trips and falls because you’re less in control of your balance.
While we are partial to custom anti-fatigue mats, there are times when insoles may be a better fit. The right solution ultimately comes down to the type of environment you have, how far employees move throughout their shifts, and their overall comfort needs.
Do you install the mats?
AcroMat anti-fatigue mats are designed and delivered in one piece. To install, simply unbox, unroll, and place in the appropriate workspace. If you've ordered a large custom mat that wraps around machinery, thus needing to be bonded onsite once installed, we provide the tools and materials needed to perform this work.
If you need a hand, we happily offer installation for a small fee.
What happens if we damage it? Can it be repaired?
AcroMat is the only mat manufacturer in the world to offer anti-fatigue mat repair, extensions, and full restoration. As the photo below shows, the AcroMat 100-Series mats can be repaired, re-purposed, and extended if work layouts change. If someone damages a mat by dropping sharp equipment, we offer a Repair Kit that allows you to restore the mat in minutes. The Repair Kit includes the same industrial strength adhesive we use to make our mats, which guarantees the bonds will never come apart.
If your mat needs a major repair or extension, you can simply ship your mat back to our facility, pay only for the additional mat materials, and we will ship your mat back free of charge. Get in touch today to learn more or to initiate a repair, extension, or addition.
