Gel Floor Mats, Recommendations anyone?
 

Go to Harbor Freight and get the ones made for garages. They're heavy duty and not expensive.

I would like it to look nice too. How do they look? My sewing room is my family room so it can't look to much like a garage

They're just basic black. I think they're the same as the ones they make for play rooms but the ones for play rooms are going to cost more.

I've tried a few mats over the years but the best ones are the wellness mats.
Look at http://www.wellnessmats.com/.

Be careful about some of those mats...they can stain your floor.
Some are made for industrial purposes...not for the house.

Another place you might look is in restaurant supply stores.

Good shoes make the difference for me. I rather spend the money on shoes than mats. I get more use out of the shoes, and I don't have to look at the ugly mats.

I have been wearing the best shoes that my Podiatrist recommended for several years. It is not enough. After foot surgery and 4 knee surgeries, my shoes are a life saver but I need more to be able to stand much. I will probably get one for the kitchen as well because that has also been quite a pain, literally, to stand at the counter and chop and stove to cook.

I am currently looking at the WellnessMats site to read their comments and check them out. Thank you!

I have a high quality vinyl flooring that looks like real wood (fooled an appraiser) I don't want any staining but it would not show like a light colored vinyl floor might

I have a similar problem. I have had to learn to cut sitting down. It seems to be more work and harder on my shoulders, but my 2 bum knees and a bum ankle are pleased with me. DH bought me the sort of pad used in horses' stalls, but that was not enough for me.
