Over in our Ultimate Tool Gift Guide, we recommended Craftsman’s 30″ x 60″ anti-fatigue mat ($40 via Sears). We have great things to say about Craftsman’s red and black mats, but they are both a little pricey and are only available in one large size.
If you’re on a tighter budget or interested in something a little smaller, this Genuine Joe beveled-edge anti-fatigue mat provides similar cushioning (3/8″ foam) but at a smaller size (2′ x 3′) and at a lower price ~$22.

While the Genuine Joe mat is designed for use in kitchens, it should work just as well in your workshop.

I need to get me one of those. Maybe I can give it to my sore back and feet for Christmas.

Another benefit of anti fatique mats is they help to insulate your feet from cold garage floors. I have my shop in a garage and I highly recommend anti fatique mats for more comfortable work stations and warmer feet.

I love these mats. We have two in our kitchen already. Now I need one for my workbench. Thanks!
