The difference between standing for ten minutes and standing for an hour.
The problem it solves
People buy standing desks and stop using them within a month because their feet and back hurt on a hard floor.
What it is
A thick cushioned mat, often with contours or a rocking surface, that reduces pressure and encourages small movements while you stand.
Who it is for
Anyone with a standing desk or converter who finds themselves sitting more than they planned.
How to use it so it sticks
Leave it under the desk permanently. Stand barefoot or in socks. Shift weight and use the contours; the point is to move, not to stand still.
Who should skip it
If you only stand for short calls, the floor is fine.
Verdict
Not optional if you own a standing desk. The desk is the idea; the mat is what makes it happen.
