Default Anti-fatigue mats

I was just looking at anti-fatigue mats online, to put in front of my
bench, over the cement.
Is there a popular choice here, or a favorite? I won't disclose what I
looked at (online), but there was an 8x price difference between the
"solutions". I've also got some left over carpeting I could use that may
be alot better than nothing.

I used to stand in warehouse 8 hours a day on concrete. Guys driving
stand up forklifts stood 8 hours a day on metal. Shin splints are painful.
First get rubber sole shoes like Rocky Walkers. Then if you don't have
rubber mats, put down simple corrugated cardboard. Cardboard is a cheap
and comfortable fix which is what we all used in the warehouse,
including the stand up forklift drivers.
