The deciding specification is the published thickness, which ranges from 0.4 inch to 0.5 inch across these five picks.
By the Lush Editorial Team·Researched & Compared
I compared the published dimensions, weights, and feature lists of eight anti fatigue kitchen mats on the fact sheet, then selected the five with the most complete specifications.
Collive publishes a 5.34 pound weight and a 0.47 inch height for its two-mat set.
KitchenClouds publishes a 0.5 inch height, a 17.3 inch width, and a 28 inch depth.
KIMODE publishes a 0.47 inch height and a two-piece size of 17.3 by 47 plus 17.3 by 29 inches.
HappyTrends publishes a 5.55 pound weight and a 0.47 inch height for its two-mat set.
StepRite publishes a 0.55 pound weight and a 0.4 inch height for its two-mat set.

StepRite publishes a 0.4 inch height and a 0.55 pound weight. The SoftDuo, Winco, and TranquilRelax mats are not included because they lack key published figures.
“Published thickness separates these five mats.”

Priorities, not a computed score. The inputs are published specifications, so we rank by what matters most and say how much.
The five picks publish different sets of figures. Collive publishes a 0.47 inch height and a 5.34 pound weight. KitchenClouds publishes a 0.5 inch height, a 17.3 inch width, and a 28 inch depth. KIMODE publishes a 0.47 inch height. HappyTrends publishes a 0.47 inch height and a 5.55 pound weight. StepRite publishes a 0.4 inch height and a 0.55 pound weight. Only KitchenClouds publishes a width and a depth.
Weight separates the picks that publish it. StepRite states 0.55 pounds, Collive states 5.34 pounds, and HappyTrends states 5.55 pounds. KitchenClouds and KIMODE do not publish a weight, so they cannot be placed on that scale. The height figures cluster tightly: 0.4 inch, 0.47 inch, and 0.5 inch. The difference between the smallest and largest published height is 0.1 inch.

The table does not tell you how any mat feels underfoot, how much it compresses, or how long it lasts. No pick publishes a load rating, a compression figure, or a warranty length. The height figures are close enough that the gap between 0.4 inch and 0.47 inch is unlikely to be the deciding factor. What the table does show is which makers publish a full set of figures and which do not.
StepRite publishes a 0.4 inch height, the smallest figure among the five picks. Collive, KIMODE, and HappyTrends each publish a 0.47 inch height. The difference between 0.4 inch and 0.47 inch is 0.07 inch. All four of these mats are two-piece sets, so the published height applies to each mat in the set. None of the four publishes a width or depth for the individual mats.
StepRite also publishes a 0.55 pound weight, the smallest figure among the five picks. Collive publishes 5.34 pounds and HappyTrends publishes 5.55 pounds. KIMODE does not publish a weight. A reader comparing StepRite and HappyTrends on weight alone is looking at a difference of 5 pounds between the two stated figures.
KitchenClouds publishes a 0.5 inch height, the largest figure among the five picks. It is also the only pick that publishes a width and a depth: 17.3 inches and 28 inches. That makes it the only pick whose footprint can be checked against a specific space before purchase. It is a single mat, not a set, so it covers one standing area rather than two.
KitchenClouds does not publish a weight. The maker states the mat is made of soft PVC foam with a diamond-shaped non-slip bottom and a beveled edge. The care instructions state the surface wipes clean with a wet cloth, a vacuum, or a sweep. The maker also states that water under the mat may cause slippage and that creases can be removed with a hairdryer on a warm setting.
Collive, KIMODE, and StepRite each pair a longer mat with a shorter one. Collive and KIMODE state the same sizes: 17.3 by 47 inches and 17.3 by 29 inches. StepRite states 17.3 by 47 inches and 17.3 by 30 inches. The short mat in the StepRite set is 1 inch longer than the short mat in the Collive and KIMODE sets, based on the stated sizes.
Collive publishes a 5.34 pound weight for its set. KIMODE does not publish a weight. StepRite publishes a 0.55 pound weight for its set. The difference between the Collive and StepRite stated weights is 4.79 pounds. All three sets state a non-slip backing, and Collive and KIMODE state a beveled edge or textured top.
HappyTrends pairs two mats of the same stated size: 17.3 by 39 inches each. That differs from the other three sets, which pair a long mat with a short one. A reader who wants two mats of equal length has one option among the five picks. HappyTrends publishes a 5.55 pound weight, the largest figure among the five picks, and a 0.47 inch height.
The maker states the PVC material is phthalate-free, latex-free, and odor-free. The mat has a beveled edge and a non-slip backing. The care instructions state the mat can be rinsed with cold water or wiped with a damp cloth and then air dried. The maker also states the mat should be opened fully and placed on a flat surface.
Buyer who wants two mats of equal length. HappyTrends is the only pick that pairs two mats of the same stated size, 17.3 by 39 inches each. It publishes a 5.55 pound weight and a 0.47 inch height. The maker states the material is phthalate-free and latex-free.
Buyer who needs a published width and depth. KitchenClouds is the only pick that publishes a width and a depth, 17.3 inches and 28 inches. It is a single mat with a 0.5 inch height. It does not publish a weight, so it cannot be compared on that figure.
Buyer who wants a two-piece set with a published weight. Collive publishes a 5.34 pound weight and a 0.47 inch height. The set states sizes of 17.3 by 47 and 17.3 by 29 inches. The maker states the surface is waterproof and oil proof.
Buyer who wants a lightweight two-piece set. StepRite publishes a 0.55 pound weight and a 0.4 inch height, the smallest figures among the five picks. The set states sizes of 17.3 by 47 and 17.3 by 30 inches. The maker states the backing grips tile, wood, ceramic, and marble.
Buyer who wants a two-piece set with a 0.47 inch height and no published weight. KIMODE publishes a 0.47 inch height and states sizes of 17.3 by 47 and 17.3 by 29 inches. It does not publish a weight. The maker states the non-slip bottom works on hard and carpet floors.
Several figures that would help a buyer compare these mats are not published by the makers. The list below records what was missing from the fact sheet.
The five picks publish heights of 0.4 inch, 0.47 inch, and 0.5 inch. StepRite states 0.4 inch. Collive, KIMODE, and HappyTrends state 0.47 inch. KitchenClouds states 0.5 inch. The TranquilRelax mat, which is not among the five picks, states a thicker option as well, but it publishes no weight and no dimensions.
StepRite publishes a 0.55 pound weight, the smallest figure among the five picks. Collive publishes 5.34 pounds and HappyTrends publishes 5.55 pounds. KitchenClouds and KIMODE do not publish a weight, so they cannot be compared on this figure. The Winco mat, which is not among the five picks, publishes a weight its own stated dimensions cannot support.
Collive, KIMODE, HappyTrends, and StepRite sell two-piece sets. KitchenClouds sells a single mat. The two-piece sets from Collive and KIMODE pair a 17.3 by 47 inch mat with a 17.3 by 29 inch mat. HappyTrends pairs two 17.3 by 39 inch mats. StepRite pairs a 17.3 by 47 inch mat with a 17.3 by 30 inch mat.
All five picks state a water resistant or waterproof surface. Collive states the PVC material is waterproof and oil resistant. HappyTrends states the material is water resistant. KIMODE, KitchenClouds, and StepRite state the surface is water resistant and wipes clean with a damp cloth. None of the five picks states a water resistance rating.
KIMODE states the non-slip bottom works on hard and carpet floors. Collive states the backing stays in place on all types of floors. StepRite states the backing grips tile, wood, ceramic, and marble. HappyTrends states the mat can be applied to wood, ceramic, laminate, marble, and concrete. KitchenClouds does not specify carpet.
KitchenClouds and KIMODE do not publish a weight. Collive, KIMODE, HappyTrends, and StepRite do not publish a width or depth for the individual mats in their sets. None of the five picks publishes a load rating, a compression figure, or a warranty length. The SoftDuo, Winco, and TranquilRelax mats are not among the five picks because they lack key published figures.
