What Is Hygimat Hygienic Anti-Fatigue Matting?
Hygimat Hygienic Anti-Fatigue Matting is a specialist workplace mat designed to provide comfort for people who stand for long periods. It is made for environments where staff wellbeing, floor safety and hygiene need to work together.
The mat is constructed from rubberised gel foam, giving it a cushioned feel that helps support workers during long standing shifts. It also contains anti-microbial properties and has a closed-cell construction, making it suitable for hygiene-sensitive workplaces.
Designed for Standing Workers
Standing for long periods on hard floors can cause discomfort in the feet, legs and lower back. Hygimat helps create a softer standing surface for workers who spend much of the day on their feet.
Built for Hygienic Workplaces
Hygimat is suitable for areas where hygiene is a priority, including healthcare, catering, clean rooms, food manufacturing and food retail environments.
Suitable for Wet and Dry Areas
The mat is suitable for wet and dry environments, making it more versatile than a dry-area-only anti-fatigue mat.
Practical Workplace Design
With its textured surface, 17mm height and loose lay installation, Hygimat is made for practical daily use in busy workplaces.
Why Hygiene Matters in Workplace Matting
In many workplaces, a mat does more than provide comfort. It can sit in areas where food, liquids, cleaning products, foot traffic and workplace debris are all present. This makes hygiene an important factor when choosing the correct mat.
Hygienic matting is especially important in spaces where bacteria growth, liquid penetration and difficult cleaning can become a concern. A mat used in these environments should be easy to clean and should not allow liquids to soak into the material.
Food and Catering Areas
In food preparation and catering areas, floors can be exposed to spills, moisture and frequent cleaning. Hygienic matting helps support a cleaner working environment.
Healthcare and Medical Spaces
Healthcare spaces often require products that can be cleaned thoroughly and used in areas where hygiene standards matter.
Clean Rooms and Laboratories
Clean rooms and laboratories need practical matting that supports cleanliness while still offering comfort for standing workers.
Hospitality and Food Retail
In hospitality and food retail environments, staff may stand for long shifts while also working around liquids, food debris and regular cleaning routines.
Anti-Fatigue Comfort for Standing Workers
One of the main reasons to choose Hygimat is staff comfort. Anti-fatigue matting is designed to reduce the strain caused by standing on hard floors for long periods.
When workers stand on a hard surface all day, their feet, legs and back can become tired. A cushioned anti-fatigue mat creates a softer surface and encourages small natural movements, helping reduce discomfort during long shifts.
Helps Reduce Standing Discomfort
Hygimat provides a cushioned surface that helps reduce the harsh feeling of standing directly on concrete, tiles or other hard floors.
Supports Workplace Productivity
More comfortable workers are often better able to focus on their tasks, especially in roles that require long periods of standing.
Useful for Long Shifts
Hygimat is ideal for environments where staff stand for hours at a time, such as production lines, preparation stations, service counters and medical work areas.
Deep Comfort Feel
The gel foam construction gives Hygimat a deep cushioned feel underfoot, making it a strong option where comfort is a key requirement.
Anti-Microbial Properties
Hygimat contains anti-microbial properties designed to help inhibit the growth of bacteria. This makes it useful in workplaces where hygiene is important and where mats need to be cleaned and maintained regularly.
This feature is particularly valuable in food manufacturing, catering, healthcare, clean rooms and laboratories, where ordinary mats may not provide the right level of hygienic performance.
Helps Inhibit Bacteria Growth
The anti-microbial properties help reduce the risk of bacteria growth on the mat surface, supporting cleaner working conditions.
Good for Hygiene-Sensitive Areas
Hygimat is suited to spaces where cleanliness matters, including food-related, medical and controlled working environments.
Better Than a Basic Comfort Mat
A standard anti-fatigue mat may provide comfort, but Hygimat adds hygienic performance for more demanding workplaces.
Supports Regular Cleaning Routines
Hygimat can be cleaned with mild detergent and can also be cleaned using disinfectant, alcohol or sterilisation methods where appropriate.
Closed-Cell Construction
Hygimat has a closed-cell construction, which means liquids cannot penetrate the mat in the same way they might with open-cell materials. This is an important feature for wet, hygiene-sensitive or frequently cleaned areas.
If liquids are allowed to soak into a mat, the mat can become harder to clean and may lose performance over time. A closed-cell structure helps the mat resist liquid penetration and maintain its function in demanding areas.
Liquids Cannot Penetrate the Mat
The closed-cell construction helps prevent liquids from soaking into the material, supporting hygiene and long-term performance.
Useful in Wet Work Areas
Where spills, water or cleaning fluids are present, closed-cell matting is a practical choice.
Supports Easier Cleaning
Because liquids remain on the surface rather than penetrating the mat, the mat is easier to clean and maintain.
Helps Preserve Performance
Closed-cell construction helps protect the mat’s cushioning and anti-fatigue performance in wet or demanding environments.
Rubberised Gel Foam Construction
Hygimat is constructed from rubberised gel foam. This material is designed to combine comfort and durability, making the mat suitable for busy workspaces where staff need support underfoot.
The gel foam feel helps reduce stress on muscles and joints during long standing periods, while the rubberised construction helps the mat cope with regular workplace use.
Comfort Underfoot
The gel foam construction gives the mat a soft, supportive feel, helping reduce the strain of standing on hard floors.
Durable Workplace Build
Hygimat is designed for maximum durability and comfort, making it suitable for demanding working environments.
17mm Mat Height
With a mat height of 17mm ±1mm, Hygimat provides a thick cushioned surface for standing workers.
Balanced Performance
The mat balances comfort, hygiene and practical durability, which makes it useful in areas where one feature alone is not enough.
Wet and Dry Area Suitability
Hygimat is suitable for wet and dry environments, both indoors and outdoors. This makes it a versatile option for workplaces where conditions can change throughout the day.
Many anti-fatigue mats are designed only for dry areas, but Hygimat can be used where moisture, water and cleaning routines are part of the work environment.
Wet Areas
Hygimat is suitable for wet environments where a comfort mat also needs to resist liquid penetration.
Dry Areas
The mat can also be used in dry work areas where staff stand for long periods and need cushioning underfoot.
Indoor Areas
It is suitable for indoor spaces such as clean rooms, laboratories, hospitals, food production rooms and warehouses.
Outdoor Areas
Hygimat is also suitable for outdoor environments where a hygienic, slip-resistant and anti-fatigue mat is required.
Slip Resistance and Textured Surface
Comfort is important, but workplace safety is just as important. Hygimat has a textured surface finish that helps improve grip underfoot.
The product is also slip tested to DIN 51130, making it suitable for workplaces where slip resistance is an important part of the matting choice.
Textured Surface Finish
The textured surface helps provide grip for workers standing or walking on the mat.
Useful in Wet or Dry Spaces
Because Hygimat can be used in wet and dry environments, the textured surface is a useful safety feature.
Helps Improve Foot Stability
The surface texture helps workers feel more stable while standing, turning or moving around their workstation.
Important for Busy Workplaces
In busy environments, a mat should not only feel comfortable. It should also support safer movement during daily work.
Oil and Water Resistance
Hygimat is resistant to oil and water, making it suitable for areas where spills, cleaning, moisture or workplace liquids may be present.
This is especially useful in catering areas, food production spaces, industrial workstations and other environments where floors can become wet or exposed to oils.
Oil Resistance
Oil resistance makes Hygimat suitable for work areas where ordinary mats may break down or become unsafe.
Water Resistance
Water resistance supports use in wet environments and helps make the mat easier to clean.
Good for Catering and Food Areas
Food-related workplaces often need matting that can cope with liquid, oil and frequent cleaning.
Good for Industrial Areas
Industrial workstations can expose mats to tougher conditions, making oil and water resistance useful for long-term performance.
Loose Lay Installation
Hygimat is designed for loose lay installation. This means it can be placed directly in the required working area without a permanent fixing method.
This is useful for workplaces that need flexibility. Mats can be moved for cleaning, repositioned as workstations change or replaced more easily when required.
Easy to Position
Loose lay installation allows the mat to be placed where comfort and hygiene are most needed.
Easy to Move for Cleaning
The mat can be lifted when the floor underneath needs to be cleaned.
Useful for Changing Workstations
If a workstation layout changes, the mat can be repositioned without needing to remove adhesive or fixings.
No Permanent Installation Required
For many workplaces, loose lay matting is the simplest and most practical option.
Available Sizes
Hygimat Hygienic Anti-Fatigue Matting is available in three practical sizes, making it suitable for individual workstations, longer standing areas and larger work zones.
Size Options
- 60cm x 90cm
- 90cm x 150cm
- 90cm x 180cm
60cm x 90cm
The 60cm x 90cm size is useful for smaller individual standing points, counters or compact workstations.
90cm x 150cm
The 90cm x 150cm size provides more coverage for larger standing areas or workstations where the user moves slightly during tasks.
90cm x 180cm
The 90cm x 180cm size is suitable for longer work zones, production areas or spaces where workers need more standing room.
Choosing the Right Size
Choose a size that covers the area where the worker naturally stands and moves. The mat should support the full working position, not just one small standing point.
Where to Use Hygimat
Hygimat is suitable for a wide range of hygiene-sensitive and demanding workplaces. It is especially useful where comfort, cleanability, anti-microbial properties and liquid resistance are all important.
Healthcare Facilities
Hygimat is suitable for hospitals and healthcare facilities where staff stand for long periods and hygiene is a priority.
Surgical Rooms
The mat is listed as suitable for surgical rooms, where comfort and hygiene are both important in daily operations.
Clean Rooms
Clean rooms need matting that supports controlled working conditions and can be cleaned effectively.
Food Manufacturing

Warehouses and Industrial Facilities

Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning is one of the most important parts of using hygienic workplace matting. Hygimat is designed to be cleaned with mild detergent, and it can also be cleaned using disinfectant, alcohol or sterilisation methods.
After cleaning, the mat should be dried outside in open air. Avoid excess sun exposure to help preserve the mat over time.
Routine Cleaning
For everyday cleaning, use a mild detergent to clean the surface and remove dirt, marks or workplace residue.
Disinfecting the Mat
Disinfectant, alcohol or sterilisation methods can be used when a deeper hygienic clean is required.
Drying the Mat
Dry the mat outside in open air after cleaning, but avoid leaving it in excessive sunlight for long periods.
Clean Underneath the Mat
Because Hygimat is loose laid, it can be lifted so the floor underneath can also be cleaned properly.
Cleaning Tip
Create a regular cleaning schedule for hygiene-sensitive areas. Mats in food, healthcare and laboratory environments should be cleaned often enough to match the demands of the space.
