Standing desk comfort
The standing desk mat that won't give up before you do
Your standing desk reduces sitting time. Stand-Safe makes the standing time comfortable. Industrial-grade 20mm cushioning in a home-office-friendly size, built to last years — not months.
The problem
Your standing desk is only half the solution.
Standing desks reduce the health risks of prolonged sitting. But standing on a hard floor for hours creates its own set of problems: leg fatigue, lower back strain, and sore feet. The 4.3 million UK remote workers who've switched to standing desks are discovering this the hard way.
Cheap foam mats flatten within months, leaving you standing on a thin sheet of compressed material
Lightweight mats slide across hardwood and laminate every time you shift weight
Thin mats don't cushion enough for all-day standing — you end up back in your chair by lunchtime
The Stand-Safe answer
Factory-proven comfort, home-office size.
Stand-Safe uses the same anti-fatigue technology trusted by factory workers standing 8+ hours daily. We just sized it for your desk and priced it for your home office budget.
20mm thickness — real cushioning that maintains its support year after year
6.6kg — heavy enough to stay put on any floor surface
71 x 102cm — covers your natural standing movement range without dominating the room
£81 — less than replacing a cheap mat every year
Perfect for
Built for how you actually work.
All-day standers
If you've committed to standing most of the day, you need a mat that won't compress after a few months. Stand-Safe's 20mm industrial-grade cushioning is designed for 8+ hour shifts in factories — your home office won't break it.
Sit-stand alternators
Alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day? Position Stand-Safe alongside your desk chair. Step on when standing, roll alongside when sitting. The bevelled edges won't catch wheels or create trip hazards.
Garden office workers
Garden offices often have cold, hard floors — concrete, laminate, or basic boarding. Stand-Safe insulates your feet from cold surfaces while providing all-day comfort. The weight means it stays put even on smooth flooring.

The standing desk investment
Your desk cost hundreds. Don't cheap out underfoot.
A quality standing desk costs £300-800. A good monitor arm, another £50-150. Yet many people stand on a £25 foam mat that compresses within months. Stand-Safe costs £81 and will outlast your desk.
FAQ
Standing desk mat questions, answered.
Is Stand-Safe good for sit-stand desks?
Yes. At 71x102cm, the Stand-Safe mat fits alongside your desk chair. When you switch to standing, step onto the mat. When sitting, roll your chair beside it. The 20mm thickness provides excellent cushioning without creating a trip hazard, and the bevelled edges allow smooth transitions.
How does it compare to the Topo mat or Ergohead?
Consumer standing desk mats like Ergohead use polyurethane foam that compresses within 1-2 years. Terrain-style mats like the Topo suit some users but not others. Stand-Safe uses the same industrial-grade materials proven in factories where workers stand 8+ hours daily. The cushioning maintains its performance for years, not months.
Will it slide on hardwood or laminate?
Stand-Safe weighs 6.6kg. Combined with its textured underside, it stays firmly in place on hardwood, laminate, tile, and carpet. Unlike lightweight foam mats that bunch up or slide when you shift position, Stand-Safe holds its ground.
Can I use it barefoot or in socks?
Yes. The surface texture provides comfortable grip whether you're wearing shoes, slippers, socks, or standing barefoot. Many home office users alternate throughout the day.
What if I have a larger standing area?
Connect two or more mats using the Stand-Safe Connector (£12.15) for continuous coverage. This is useful for L-shaped desks or standing workbenches where you move along the surface.
How does it help with back pain?
Standing on hard floors forces your body to absorb impact with every micro-movement. Over hours, this fatigues muscles in your legs, hips, and lower back. The 20mm cushioning absorbs that impact, reducing the muscular effort needed to stand. Users typically report less fatigue and reduced lower back discomfort within the first week.
