Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set with Carry Bag | Relieves Muscle Tension & Stress

This mat has changed my life a little bit. My husband said I am much calmer and more relaxed. I liked the idea of the mats but wanted to try the concept of it before I bought one of the much more expensive versions available anywhere between 55.00 and 200 for a set... From the first use, I noticed a difference. I used it at bedtime and found I slept better and with the niggly back and shoulder pain I have improved straightaway, really good if you work at a desk all day. It is a shock to start with but I went in with bare skin right away and really, you do get used to it pretty quickly but you might want a t-shirt on as suggested first, just to get used to it. I have had it for 3 weeks now and used it twice per day without fail, and I don't want to miss a session, especially the one before sleep at night. I love it! I don't think it replaces therapy (but it might, it depends on your problem of course) if you need it but it would be brilliant for use in between appointments for the chiropractor or the osteopath. I then opted to purchase one with lotus flowers on for 55.00 for a pillow, mat, and bag but to be honest I prefer this cheaper version even without a coconut matting inside or a cotton cover. I prefer the circular spikes to the lotus flower arrangement. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, if you want to try acupressure to see if it is for you, then buy one of these mats first, then upgrade if you feel you want a better quality product. I have also bought myself a yoga mat to use on the floor, and at bedtime, I just use the mat straight on the mattress of my bed. I time myself and listen to music or meditation and the most I have got to is 30 minutes, and I haven't fallen asleep on it but I get to sleep quickly after I have finished using the mat. I suggest directly before sleep. I have a zen-like calm now after 3 weeks and seem better able to cope with life and that has been the best result from using it. I haven't tried standing on it yet but that is the next stage I think. Don't hesitate, buy one!! But I do retract.. this is as good as expensive ones.. it is not!

I have been using these products for some time now and this is my 3rd different brand of set. They get heavy use as I sleep on them, use them for sitting, use them during Reiki self healing and sometimes use them in other relaxation and meditation practices. I suffer from chronic pain in specific areas of my body and Fibromyalgia throughout my body. The latter can flare up and produce a whole range of types of pain, varying in how long they last. Calming the nervous system by stimulating lots of pressure points is beneficial for both pain conditions in my experience. Pain makes my depression and anxiety much worse so controlling and minimising my pain is really important for me, beyond relieving the pain itself. Now I have discovered acupressure sets, I cannot do without them! They are essential to my coping with pain and life in general. I have not had this set for long as it arrived yesterday but, I slept on them last night and used them for Sekf Reiki this morning. They are very effective and meet my requirements well. The carry case - of the same fabric as the mat and pillow -is of good quality, as is the set, at least from what I have observed so far. The spikes are VERY sharp! Mind your hands as you roll he mat around the pillow. I learnt with previous sets that you can puncture the skin on your fingers/ hands it you aren't careful. Even having used these products continuously for almost a year, when you get a new set, it can take you by surprise a bit, especially when you shift position whilst sitting or lying on the mat ! 😅 I have left the 'Comfort' star rating blank as this is effectively a bed of tiny nails! It's not exactly comfortable for new users but, the more you use these items, the more comfortable they end up feeling, so preservere! ✊😏👍This is short term discomfort or pain to gain long term, effective pain relief as well as other benefits. I always find that over time, with heavy use, the foam flattens and the pillow becomes less ergonomic to the body. Hopefully this set will go a long while before this happens.🤞🏽😏👍🏽 So far I rate this set highly. 😊🙏🏽🌈

I have it for a while now and love the benefits. Makes me go back to sleep when I wake up and just quite cant fall asleep. You really need to follow instructions for washing it. I do wish the padding inside was a bit stronger or diferent, so that would be a bit stronger but still a great product

Having suffered from back pain for several years, I’d just accepted it was always going to be there. This mat has definitely eased it! Whilst it’s not some miracle cure, 20 minutes on this mat per day has helped my back, relaxed me and helped me sleep better. You spend the first few minutes resisting the urge to get up and throw it out of the window - it’s not a comfortable sensation! But push through it, breathe deeply and wait for the warm, almost sunburn-like sensation to come and it’ll get better. After 20 minutes it’s actually comfortable and really relaxing. A word of warning, though - when you get up, your back will be red and covered in indentations. Don’t freak out, this is normal and it will go down soon. In summary, this is a decent quality product and an effective relaxation aid if you can get past the initial discomfort.

I can't comment from any medical knowledge or experience, but bought the mat on the recommendation of a family member because I had been experiencing neck pain and, during lock down, physiotherapy services are currently closed in our area. To be honest, using the mat is a little like lowering yourself onto a plastic bed of nails but, once in position and therefore evenly distributed across the mat, it no longer feels uncomfortable. I use a little neck roll to sleep with normally, so find the accompanying pillow 'normal', but my husband finds this pillow element the most uncomfortable of the experience. Within a few minutes you can really feel the blood being stimulated and flowing and the best way to describe the sensation when you come off the mat is that tingly feeling you get when you walk outside in winter after an indoor swim in a heated pool - you feel fresh and invigorated and also rather pious! If I remember to use it every day, even just for 5-10 minutes, then I do seem to find an improvement in general well being and the voracity of aches and pains. I'm sure it is a very personal thing but it is a simple way to effectively give yourself a massage.

I already own an acupressure mat and forgot to take it on holiday with me so I bought this one for delivery whilst away. Really disappointed as it’s hardly as effective as my current one. It’s ok but if you want deeper more intense relief, this isn’t the mat to buy. I can barely tell I’m lay on it which is a shame.

This mat is really great. I can’t believe how effective it appears to be. After lying on the mat for 10 mins I feel totally chilled out & relaxed - to the point of dropping off to sleep, something I never do during the day! It is well worth the money & it’s good quality especially with the foam layer. I suffer from arthritis in my lower back & the pain has eased since using. My partner has tried it due to back pain & he is so impressed that I think he will be buying one for himself - that’s how good it is! The person that invented these mats is a genius. Well done!

It was a birthday gift and has been great for muscle releases. All I would say is the foam doesn't feel like the best quality. A bit flimsy. Not practical to put in and out of the bag as it is a tight fit, however for the price it's good.
