I love this cushioning for my weary feet because the day has already been long by the time I step foot in the kitchen to fix dinner each evening. It is so nice to have that little bounce and cushion as I prepare my family's evening meal. I like the thickness. It is not too thick where you'll lose your balance, but at the same time, it's not so thin that you still feel the floor underneath it. I like that it is waterproof which is important to me for kitchen items.
