I have split brick in my floor. It is very hard on the feet. I have rubber mats around my long arm and cutting table. A magnet picks up dropped items from it. I have felt like carpet would be more comfortable. At the quilt expo in Atlanta last week, one of the vendors had wonder mat on the floor. It was so soft. Two vendors over the floor was covered with the mats I use. I hope to replace my mats and maybe cover the whole floor with the wonder mat. The vendor said it was available in different colors. They had a wood grain. I was really impressed with the comfort. My feet and legs were already hurting from all the walking, standing and looking. I felt better while standing on the mat in that booth.
