If you need a gel floor mat for industrial use, the square mat or long runner will work well, but for counter use, look for a rectangular mat
If you are preparing food all day long then stepping on and off the mat can be a bit annoying. So you might want to try to avoid that.
Another idea is to get two and lay them side by side for a long counter. You could also try a 6′ to 8′ length
Any of these suggestions should be good options for anyone.
Be sure to measure the counter area where you spend most of your time and have these measurements handy when you shop.
