About Us

Greetings!

We are Troy and Phaedra. We live in Southern California and have been blessed with six sons.

While talking with our missionary in Florida on our weekly phone call, he mentioned that his apartment had hard, laminate flooring. He proudly showed us a piece of astroturf that he had pulled from someone's discards that he was using to keep his knees comfortable while praying.

We had a quick laugh and congratulated him on his ingenuity; but then we got to thinking... surely we could come up with something that would make kneeling comfortable while also maintaining the reverence that accompanies prayer. A short time later... The Mission Mat was born.

We are mindful that missionaries all over the world are kneeling daily, and we are hopeful that the solution for our missionary will resonate with others.

Of course, missionaries are not the only ones who kneel to pray. As it turns out, the Mission Mat is equally comfortable for ALL knees - not just those of full-time missionaries. You can trust us on this: we've tested it on lots of different surfaces!

Thank you for supporting our family project! Your knees will thank you, too!
