I bought this mat for my bathroom. I have plantars fasciitis and can’t stand on the hard tile floor without slippers. I wanted something soft for in front of my vanity so I could stand barefoot. Serves that purpose perfectly. Although, I do have a couple issues.  I bought the wheat color, but it looks green during the day in my bathroom with the light. At night it looks wheat. So if u have a really bright room like I do beware of the color. Also, it doesn’t stay in place even in an area that doesn’t get a lot of foot traffic. It would drive me nuts if it was in my kitchen.
