GelPro Kitchen Foam Mat Farmhouse Check, 20" x 30", Blue

This is not my first Gel Pro mat… I'm a returning customer and the reason is that it saves my back and legs! I'm 75 years old and I love to entertain but the cleanup is murder on my bones ! But not anymore with my new Gel Pro! The one problem I have though is that it moves a lot on my vinyl flooring so I ordered the sticky discs for the bottom so it won't creep! Still waiting for them to arrive.

I read lots of review before I ordered my Designer Comfort Mat. Many reviews mentioned how the mat moves around but I thought maybe my situation would be different. Sure enough - my mat - while beautiful and functional - moves a fraction of an inch with each step on the mat. So within a matter of 15 minutes the mat could move several inches. To better understand what it was doing I put sticky notes on the floor to evaluate it's creep. Oddly enough, the mat only moves in two directions - if one end of the mat was pointing north, then the mat consistently moved to the east and to the south. Never to the west or north. In my situation, all I had to do was turn my mat 180 degrees so it now moves only to the west and north. Since my mat snugs into a corner of my kitchen cabinets, my mat stays put. If I turn it another 180 degrees, it moves away from my cabinets. So my problem is solved! My observation may help others with mat creep but only if you have the option to snug your mat into a corner.
