Abstract

An anti-fatigue wellness mat is described. The anti-fatigue wellness mat can include a frame, a first fabric attached to the frame, and a granular substance underneath the first fabric. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A mat comprising:
 a frame;   a first fabric attached to the frame; and   a granular substance underneath the first fabric.   
     
     
         2 . The mat of  claim 1 , further comprising a sheet underneath the frame, the sheet attached to a bottom of the frame. 
     
     
         3 . The mat of  claim 2 , further comprising a foam padding attached to the sheet, the foam padding facing the granular substance. 
     
     
         4 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the frame is made of one or more of wood, metal, plastic, and foam. 
     
     
         5 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the first fabric is stretchable. 
     
     
         6 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the granular substance is sand. 
     
     
         7 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the granular substance is stored in demarcated sections. 
     
     
         8 . The mat of  claim 1 , wherein the granular substance is held on a second fabric. 
     
     
         9 . The mat of  claim 8 , wherein the second fabric is stretchable. 
     
     
         10 . The mat of  claim 9 , wherein the granular substance is covered by the second fabric that touches the foam padding attached to the sheet. 
     
     
         11 . A method comprising:
 temporarily attaching a frame with an expanded polystyrene foam;   attaching a fabric to the frame;   inserting a granular substance on the fabric;   removing the expanded polystyrene foam from the frame;   covering the sand with a foam padding attached to a plate; and   attaching another fabric to the frame at a side opposite to the plate to form a mat.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein a sheet of the fabric is attached to a portion of the fabric to enclose the sand, the sheet of the fabric touching the foam padding. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the plate is made of one or more of metal, wood, plastic, fabric, foam, fiberglass, graphite, and carbon graphite. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the frame is made of one or more of wood, metal, plastic, and foam. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein:
 the fabric is a cloth; and   the other fabric is a stretchable microfiber comprising one or more of spandex, neoprene, and elastane.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the granular substance comprises at least one of rice, salt, coffee beans, corn flakes, fertilizer, nuts, coal, and ball bearings. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the foam padding and the plate are attached to the frame at a location where the expanded polystyrene foam was temporarily fitted to the frame. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein three partition walls are inserted into the expanded polystyrene foam.
