GelPro Winner
Closed – GelPro 7/15
Awhile ago I was able to review GelPro mat. I was able to review Striated in black.
Black is a classic rich onyx. Formal in reputation only, its soft yet supporting nature begs you to step aboard. The striated surface comprised of undulating ridges working their way from one end of the mat to the other produces a striking urban-inspired texture.
When I first got my GelPro mat, I didn’t know what in the world it was, the box was HEAVY to say the least. I opened and was just amazed! It was so soft and comfortable.
This has got to be one of the most comfortable mats I have EVER used.
When I am in the kitchen and doing my mounds of dishes, this is a back saver!
Normally, I am slouched over and my back is just aching.
This actually releases the tension.
There is no skidding, sliding…and it’s OKAY to get wet, simply wipe it up!
It’s all the GEL!
When I have to stand over the stove for awhile, my mat comes with me. I love my GelPro.
It actually makes cooking more enjoyable. Now as far as dishes go, nothing makes it more enjoyable, but it does make it alot more easier! LOL
What better timing with the holidays which will approach us soon enough! Maybe a little too fast! This will totally help relieve some stress points in your feet and back.

One Simple Goal: Comfort
GelPro mats were created with one goal in mind: to make the time you spend standing in your home more comfortable. Everyone knows how painful it can be to stand for any length of time on hard flooring – whether you’re cooking, doing laundry, or even getting ready in front of the bathroom mirror. Simply preparing meals in your kitchen can result in lower back pain, heel pain, and overall fatigue. It is an age-old problem who’s time has finally come.
The GelPro Difference
While there are industrial anti-fatigue floor mats being produced, none are designed for residential use. These industrial mats are typically made of one of two types of materials − rubber or foam. Rubber floor mats in commercial kitchens may be effective, but they are unattractive and lack the design elements necessary to function properly in residential kitchens. The limited number of rubber-based kitchen floor mats that are marketed as anti-fatigue mats for residential use are very cheaply made, and are essentially disposable products. Foam mats also lack the merits of the gel-based GelPro mats. More often than not foam mats will stain, slide around on your floor, and provide virtually no support. GelPro anti-fatigue mats, by contrast, are in a class all to themselves. GelPro mats have been designed and engineered to perform better than any floor mat that is or ever has been available.
Stand in Comfort
Spend more quality time on your beautiful hard flooring surface with the revolutionary GelPro mat. Your feet, legs and back will thank you. Decorate with style; step with confidence; stand in Comfort.
GelPro even offers kitchen chair seat covers!
Now SIT in comfort!
CompanionTM Seat Cushions by GelPro are engineered for your comfort using advanced pressure mapping techniques to provide the most comfortable seating experience possible. Made with the same luxurious top fabrics found on GelPro mats and a high-density, contoured Moleculon® foam, the CompanionTM Seat Cushion cradles you in your seat and provides balanced, even support. Seat cushion is shown here in a warm and alluring Basketweave Black pattern.
If you go to GelPro visit FEATURES and be sure to check out COMFORT it will go into detail on how the GelPro mats help your back, and your feet! Why stand there in pain when you can stand on the GelPro and feel more happy and comfortable!

Gel Pro Review
May 6, 2009 by Krissy
Filed under Giveaways, Reviews, Reviews and Giveaways
Do you see that picture? What do you think that squishy thing might be? Would you believe its called Gel Pro and its a mat made for Kitchens and even Bathrooms!! Now can you imagine how nice it must be to walk on?? Believe me , hands down, if i could afford to re-floor my house with these, i most certainly would!
I was able to review the Red Ochre Rattlesnake design
(hold back PETA..it was all fake & i would never buy real animal anything!)
Red Ochre (pictured above)is an undulating pattern of dark browns and vibrant reds. Easily the most colorful style in the Rattlesnake Line, Red Ochre partners well with mahogany cabinetry and dark flooring. Rattlesnake is as wild and untamed as the great American West. Remarkably realistic, its outdoorsy surface is not simply printed, but is actually a three-dimensional texture that feels wonderful under bare feet.
When it arrived, the box was so heavy i had no idea what was inside. Then when i seen it was my Gel Pro mat, i was amazed. I kept picturing a simple felt type mat, with some vinyl in rattleskin texture. NOT! This is some crazy quality mat, let me tell you! Pleased?? Beyond! The quality of Gel Pro is astonishing. Its so soft yet very durable. Perfect for little ones running around, because not only is it safe for them as well, but spills wipe right off with no scrubing.
If you have an elderly mom or dad in your home, and trips to the bathroom are not so safe..these are the mats you want. There is NO skidding, NO slipping. They stay in place!
Now i had no idea the benefits of this mat until i was skimming the website. When i stood on my Gel Pro i could definatly feel what the benefits could be, but didnt relieze there was proof of this.
Everyone can benefit from the comfort provided by a GelPro mat. There are, however, millions of individuals that are especially susceptible to hard, unforgiving flooring. Chief among them − young and old alike − are those with painful arthritis, lower back pain, foot pain, plantar fasciitis, and diabetes.
Think of those holidays where as usual, us moms and grandmoms are at the sink and stove for hours..heck, sometimes days LOL, this mat would surely make any mom super happy (and i imagine less tired and cranky from cooking LOL)
I can not say enough good things about this brand. The colors are awesome, lots of textures to choose from, and a variety of price ranges. If you can afford the 36×144..please buy several to re-do your entire flooring LOL LOL. Im not kidding, i am super excited about this mat.
My size was 20×36 and it fit perfect in front of my kitchen sink. My husband even noticed there was “somthing soft on the kitchen floor” (LOL). That was with his army boots on! That should tell you right there how awesome that gel is. If they made a bed with that stuff..i would need a cali king lol.My negative or improvement for Gel Pro…?
Of course price in the economical state most families are in, would make one turn away faster.
Maybe bring the price down by $25/$30 on the 20×36.
That, or offer more discount/sale codes.The positives outweigh the improvements though tenfold.
So im sure your wondering where can i see, feel and buy one.. Well currently the BasketWeave pattern (pictured above) is avail at your local Bed,Bath & Beyond in all 6 colors! Sizes avail at the retail stores are the 20×36 & 20×72.Basketweave has the appearance of interwoven leather strips, but is actually a one-piece high performance coated textile. No matter if your tastes are traditional, ultra-modern or something in between, Basketweave has universal appeal.
Run over and step on one. Jump up and down on it and see the difference over any other mat you could possibly buy.(Maybe dont tell the manager i said you could do that LOL) This is an investment you will NOT want to pass up. Think of your moms this mothers day! If you arent much for the basketweave pattern, still go try it out and feel the quality, then come home , get back in your jammies and order a e-gift card for her, or select the style she might like. Hey lots of moms are Cocodile lovers right??
(You can buy samples as well!)
Don’t forget, Bed Bath & Beyond has the Basketweave Pattern Gel Pro mat!Ps- Designed and Assembled in the USA. Got to love that!
&
The e-gift cards are sent online so even if you forgot to buy a gift on Mothers Day you can hurry and buy one!__________________
