Hi, I want to put a rug or something in my kitchen. Maybe something with foam backing to make standing more comfortable AND easy to clean. Size about 3m x 1.5m. Any advice appreciated. cheers.

What about garage carpet ? maybe get a strip of it and get the edges bound. There are places that do bind carpet for mats.

Mines a rubber backed one with bevelled edges so not a trip hazard. I think I got it from Briscoes yonks ago. I'll look and see if they still have them and post a link if they do.
My kitchen/dining area is all tiled so I had a runner made from the same carpet that is in the lounge/hallway/bedrooms, 3 metres long and lays between cupboards and sink area. It is bound and easy to lift whe tiles need cleaning Maybe you could find a strip of carpet that matches your decor and have it bound

My vinyl floor is awful, but no way will the LL deal. So I bought an outdoor mat and put that down over the top. Lightweight, cheap, recycled plastic, easy clean - take it outside and hose it down, dries fast, looks good. Doesn't stain, lol, though cat biscuits are inclined to slide into the weave.
And surprisingly soft underfoot.

Mitre10 have rubber non-slip backed kitchen mats - mine is a good sized oblong that fits across the front of the sink/cupboards. Reasonably priced around $30.

Carpet or rugs in a kitchen? Never.

After pondering this question overnight, I thought maybe good quality othopedic slippers or shoes might be a better option?

i would not use a rug/carpet in kitchen. Too easy to slip and fall over.
