SmartCells Cushioning Technology

SmartCells® Cushioning is our patented technology featuring rubber cylindrical cells that compress and rebound in sync with your body, minimizing fatigue throughout the day and workweek. Designed for versatility, our products can be precisely customized to meet the specific needs of your workspace.

Welcome to a new era of safety, comfort, and performance.

SmartCells® Cushioning Technology isn’t just another anti-fatigue solution — it’s a patented innovation built to absorb impact, return energy, and stand the test of time. From factory floors to physical therapy clinics, from elite athletes to everyday workers, SmartCells adapts to your environment and your needs.

Beyond anti-fatigue, our technology has been adapted for use in senior fall protection, physical rehabilitation, and therapy environments. Its stable, low-profile surface doesn’t impair balance or mobility, making it ideal for exercises, recovery, and everyday movement. Whether recovering from an injury or supporting fall-risk patients, SmartCells delivers impact absorption without sacrificing support or safety.

Traditional foam mats become harder as they are compressed and break down over time, SmartCells stand strong — engineered with an innovative rubber elastomer that’s built for durability, comfort, and unmatched performance in even the harshest environments. 

How SmartCells Work:

1. Stable Support: Optimized for Human Performance
how_it_works_01_98a5da24

SmartCells® Anti-Fatigue Mat technology products have a “resting state” – much like a non-compressed spring – with a natural, supportive, upright force that provides a compressible, soft surface that is also stable and supportive.

2. Cushion on Impact: The More Force, the Softer it Becomes
how_it_works_02_4576b6a5

SmartCells® Anti-Fatigue Products compress and absorb pressure/impact energy from standing, weight-shifting, walking, or from the impact of a fall. After reaching a “critical threshold” the cellular structures soften and collapse laterally, without bottoming out.

3. Return Energy: In Phase with your Natural Movement

Like miniature springs, SmartCells® Anti-Fatigue floor mats and products store impact energy until pressure is reduced or eliminated. The SmartCells® resilient rubber material and structure work “in-phase” with body movements to actively rebound, releasing their stored energy back into the body.

ENGINEERED FOR COMPRESSIBILITY
Optimized to be Soft and Firm

SmartCells products are engineered to specific parameters that reflect the latest research on optimal compressibility. The compressibility of a material is one of the most important test results when evaluating a mats performance. Our mats become softer as compressed, to cushion and decrease fatigue, but are also firm enough to maintain balance and resist bottoming out.

THE COMMON MISCONCEPTION THAT SOFTER IS BETTER
The Right Balance of Cushion and Support

There’s a common misconception that standing on a soft surface is better for your body, but that’s not always the case. A surface that’s too soft can actually throw off your balance and force your muscles to work harder to stabilize your body, leading to increased fatigue.

Think about how difficult it is to stand on your bed and change a lightbulb. The mattress is so soft that it makes you feel unstable. In contrast, standing on a hard floor might be stable but it’s unforgiving on your joints. That’s where SmartCells strikes the perfect balance: cushioning on load, but firm and stable enough to support balance and reduce fatigue without causing unnecessary strain.

DESIGNED FOR MUSCULAR AND SKELETAL HEALTH
Balanced for Stability and Instability

SmartCells products provide a stable surface supported by dynamic cells that ‘soften’ as needed in response to surface activity. This responsiveness encourages normal postural changes that increase blood flow to working muscles, while the stability promotes subtle micro-movements throughout the body.

CREATED WITH ELITE CUSHIONING
Energy Absorbed, Energy Returned

SmartCells products are engineered to absorb impact forces, including walking, and rebound energy in phase with body movement. The ability to absorb impact ensures that falls and sudden movements are cushioned properly. As pressure is shifted, the unique SmartCells return energy in a spring-like motion, effectively reducing fatigue.

BUILT TO LAST
Clean, Durable, and Designed for Use

SmartCells mat surfaces can easily be swept, mopped, or vacuumed. Pressure washing with soap and water is also an option and does not damage the mat. Built with industrial quality, our mats are designed to lay flat and avoid shifting. Heavily resistant to edge damage, tearing, and elastic breakdown, our mats also come with an 8-year limited warranty.
