The human foot is a marvel of engineering. More than 25 bones, 30 joints and 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments all fit inside each tootsie and work together to carry your body from one destination to the next.

For every step a 150-pound person takes, a foot absorbs 570 pounds of pressure. Even just standing for long periods of time puts tremendous pressure on your feet. That’s why so many professional kitchens provide “anti-fatigue” cushioned flooring beneath their chefs to make sure sore piggies don’t distract from the perfect pork roast. These black, rubbery mats are an essential ingredient in all fine restaurant kitchens.

Now, you can get the same comfort in your kitchen, minus the dark and bulky industrial style. The new Microdry Ultimate Luxury Memory Foam Kitchen Mat provides you with a generous ½” of memory foam cushioning beneath a lovely pebbled knit surface to support your feet (and by extension legs and back) as you go from preparing the first course to washing the last dish. It’s so cozy, you may even find your husband or kids jumping at the chance to take on more cooking duties or even competing to clean dishes.
