Since switching to a standing desk over the summer, I’ve experimented with standing on my soft carpet, in running shoes and on a foam mat. None of these experiments made much of a difference in how I felt at the end of the day. I typically stand for three to five hours per day, and I usually feel a little stiffness in my knees and lower back and some tenderness in my feet by the time I’m ready to knock off for the evening.
When I started using a SmartCells mat, I noticed that I was able to stand longer and felt more energetic at the end of the day. I took fewer breaks with my trusty barstool, and my average daily standing time increased to five to seven hours. There have been a few days where I didn’t really take any breaks at all.
The stiffness in my knees and back is also greatly lessened, and my feet don’t feel any worse for the extra wear and tear.
While I was hoping that SmartCells mats would help, I was surprised by to see what a big difference they made.
Highly recommended
If you’re serious about using a standing desk, you owe it to yourself to try a SmartCells mat. It’ll help you stand longer and feel more energized than whatever you’re using now.
And the high-quality construction means you’ll enjoy the benefits for years to come.
