I bought this mat as a gift for a good friend as he enjoys alternative therapies. Its been 4months since he’s had it and he raves about how good it relaxes him. He has since kindly allowed me to borrow it as i get alot of tension and muscle aches in my neck and shoulders. So ive been trialling it out for the week, wowwee, initially i was a bit bothered by the spikes, but ive since stuck it out purely for the way i feel afterwards. I started out with 5min then 10 then made my way to 15-25 min. Not only has my tension been easing bit by bit, but im noticing very good posture changes when im standing and sitting. Ive since also been using it on my lower limbs and standing on it to help with feet cramps. Overall the best to come out of using this mat is how good of a sleep i get afterwards. I dont know how it does it, it just releases all my tension my and i get a good long run of solid sleep. I was sheepishly afraid I wasn’t going to use it as much because i have a tens machine that i use a fair bit, but now that ive used his mat for the week i do believe ill end up getting my own giving me the choice to use both.

I love lying in this mat, I find the pressure relaxing. My husband finds it too spiky, so it seems to depend on the person using it.

I use the mat and pillow everyday and have bought 5 of them for family and friends. Best gift idea!

Would highly recommend the therapy mat.

After getting used to the pointy acupressure surface, i felt relaxed and calm.

I was a little surprised that the mat was not longer to accommodate the upper legs ( it really only caters for the neck, shoulders and back).
