Technical Details

Technical Specification

I just got the Halter standing desk for my work space and my office has concrete floors with an extremely thin layer of carpet. My legs were fatiguing throughout the day and I would have to take breaks to sit again. I did some research and came across the Topo mat. My first reaction was "dang, I need to spend $120 on this mat?" But then I started watching the videos and seeing all the different benefits of this specific anti-fatigue mat. I loved the idea that I would have multiple options of stances throughout the day. I was looking at this mat and the varidesk "ultimate mat" which is $95 itself. Between the two choices I decided to take the plunge and spend the $25 extra for this mat and I couldn't be happier. I used to work for guitar center in sales and we always had a saying "buy right the first time" you may spend a little more but at least you are happy and don't want to upgrade later or exchange and purchase a different product.

If you are someone who works Monday through Friday in an office and want to use your standing desk as much as possible in the standing position then I recommend spending a little bit more and getting a mat that will allow you to do so.

What the manufacturer says is true, the terrain of the mat is so comfortable in multiple positions that you will find yourself switching throughout the day because they all feel so relaxing. The teardrop in the middle is amazing on the bottom of your foot. You can also use the back edge of the mat to stretch your calf throughout the day which is nice.

If you already made the investment in a standing desk and now you are looking at anti-fatigue mats I can tell you from the two weeks that I have had this mat it is well worth the $120. It's a one time buy that you won't regret.

I was kind of skeptical if this mat was the real deal since there were TONS of great reviews but most of them said "disclaimer I received this product at a discount/ or free for my review". Well I can tell you that I honestly did NOT receive ANY discount and most certainly did pay the full price of $120 because my wife came up to me asking what the heck did I spend $120 on a mat for? But after I showed her the video and the product came in and she stood on it she completely understood and let me live to write this review.
