We have a beautiful kitchen floor but it's rock solid (it's made of travertine marble!) so it should be, but while I'm cooking I notice that the floor is a little too tough on my feet and back. 

My husband suggested a mat from his professional cooking days, but couldn't find anything that would ease my back, be easy to clean and LOOKED nice in my new kitchen.  I found the perfect solution with Chef's Mat by Gel Pro.  It's an easy to clean, squishy mat...perfect - I'm ordering one, pronto!
