Imprint Comfort Mat *Giveaway!*

A few months ago, I wrote about buying Crocs to wear in the house as an alternative to using a gel mat in the kitchen.  Well, the Crocs are great, but the kitchen still needed a rug by the sink.  The rug also needed to be comfortable, because I wouldn't want Tyler's feet to get sore while he washes dishes.  I tried two different "cheap" rugs that cost between $20-$30 each.  One was very thin, the other had a very strong chemical smell, and both started to fall apart in less than a month.

I decided it was time to bite the bullet and buy the expensive gel mat that I had previously tried to avoid.  The problem was, I couldn't find enough information about what the mats were made of, and if they were going to be safe to be in our kitchen.  Like it or not, the kids are going to eat off the floor, and I wanted to be comfortable knowing that the mat would be safe for them to eat off of.   This is why I was so excited when a google search led me to the Imprint Comfort Mat.  From the company website, the mats are:

       "Environmentally friendly and safe!  Non toxic, phthalate free, no formaldehyde or other toxic    heavy metals used in production."

I was sold.  The best part- these mats are really affordable.  The MSRP on the 20x36 inch mat is $69.99, although I bought mine at a great sale price through Home Depot.com.  While they still may cost more than a standard kitchen rug from a department store, they come with a 7 year warranty, so you won't be purchasing a new one every few months.  

So, how does it feel?  Amazing!  I love to watch our guests when they step on it for the first time.  They always pause, look down at the floor, then exclaim something along the lines of "This mat is awesome!" Tyler and I both agree that it was an excellent purchase, and our kids fight over who gets to lie on it,  especially during that post-nap, extra cuddly time: 

So, here's the great news!  I emailed the company to tell them how much I love my Comfort Mat (because everybody loves a compliment, right?), and they want to give a mat away to one of my readers.  Just because you're awesome, and you deserve to wash dishes (or do laundry, or brush your teeth) in comfort.
