Anyone have a good kitchen mat that they recommend? A few weeks ago, the one I have had for years had to be thrown out, and I really miss having a mat.
 
I love the foam backed ones with a design on the "fabric"
they are pricey I usually pay about $20 each at Bed Bath & Beyond but i am in my kitchen most of the day I keep one at my dishwasher, one at the sink, stove and fridge. i do scotchguard them when i bring them home and wash them often they last about 6 months.
 
I recently purchased the GelPro Elite Kitchen Mat and I absolutely love it! It's very comfortable to stand on and it has a non-slip bottom which is great for kitchen use. It also comes in a variety of sizes and colors to fit any kitchen decor. Highly recommend it!

What size kitchen mat should I choose?

The size of the kitchen mat depends on the area where you plan to use it. A common size for kitchen mats is 20 inches by 36 inches, but you can find larger options for bigger spaces. Measure your kitchen area to ensure a good fit and adequate coverage.

Are there kitchen mats with non-slip features?
