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've used several alternatives to custom-purchased --

a) an old PU bedliner mat fits handily in front of the chopsaw bench in
the barn alleyway where it's set up -- it was in the used 4x4 bought and
for my purposes of a truck they're more bother than worth there so
re-delegated it...

b) several old cattle/horse barn mats from the milking parlor -- one of
them is in front of the bench.

Keep an eye open, stuff shows up where you may not expect it.

Like Swing, other than a couple of places I found over time that the
mats in the general shop area end up being more aggravation than worth
as don't stand in one spot in the other places besides the benches long
enough to make any difference on comfort and they're a nuisance in cleanup.
