The best acupressure mat you can buy, I highly recommend it.
Lesley Feest
I love this mat. I tried my friend's one some time ago and finally decided to get my own. For me it's just a perfect way to relax before bed. The initial pinch when lying down goes away quickly and leaves you with a lovely warm feeling.
Sarah Bassan
I was so surprised at how quickly the initial discomfort transformed into the most soothing warm sensation. I can't recommend the mat enough.
Judy C.
I've been experiencing neck, upper back, left shoulder and arm pain, tingling and at times numbness due to bulging discs in c4 to c6 and Osteophytes in c7. The Mat has helped in reducing a lot of pain. I use it daily. Sometimes twice daily. It did not take very long to get used to the bitey feel of the spikes. Now I look forward to that feeling. It disappears soon after laying on my Mat and is replaced with a feeling of comfort and relaxation. Love it! Thank you, Pain Free Aussies.
Adrian Scanlon
For the first two tries, I put a thin t-shirt on, but after that I was ready to go bareback. I've been using it for a little over a week and it has helped my sleep a lot. My neck pain and back pain have disappeared since I started using this mat.
Albert Kling
Cool thing, it's really relaxing. The roller under the head relieves a headache! In general, I'm happy. Delivered to Melbourne within 5 days. Impressive!
Alex Bond
Could not believe the results after using this Mat and pillow. I've noticed a huge difference in quality of sleep and when I wake up little to no aches or pains from just lying on it for 20 mins each night. It's just that I have to find time for it during my busy lifestyle.
Lempi Bashirian
Item ordered 29.02.2021, arrived 03.10.2021. The quality of the fabric is cotton, a mat on 2 Velcro, a cushion with a zipper. Massage needles made of plastic and glued to the fabric. The seller is sociable, and answers very quickly.
Maymie K.
I've had lower back troubles for about 5 years. I was recommended a mat and am so glad I bought one straight away. It's uncomfortable to begin with, but once the warmth kicks in, it's a great relaxer before bed and I haven't had any back issues since. I use my mat once a day, for around 10 minutes.
Gregg Maror
The long-awaited rug came. Quality at 5: dense cotton material of the mat and pillows, neatly glued "barbs", the seams are even. Filling-foam rubber. I Immediately washed in a delicate mode-everything was in place. very satisfied!
Johann Schumm
Being a FIFO worker and doing shift work with long hours the Mat has been a massive help in releasing tension in my back/shoulders and neck as well as aiding in relaxation to get to sleep due to always moving to different rooms/beds. Small enough to travel with but large enough to give a full back coverage.
Cristobal Angeles
Delivered the courier to the house, very fast delivery! Kotik already appreciated the mat, it came up to him
Margaretta Maggio
Working at my makeshift desk, my back was killing me at the end of my day. I have found that lying on my mat has relieved a lot of tension in my back and neck (I purchased the pillow too). Hoping to be able to handle the mat without a t-shirt very soon. Loved this so much that I purchased one for my Dad.
Freddy Donnelly
Since I've been using my mat daily I am sleeping so much better after a lifetime of broken sleep. I also find it's helping reduce tension in my muscles and generally making me feel physically better. I cannot recommend it enough.
Lillie Mercer
For the first time in years, woman had such tranquility after 1 time with the mat, she went right to dreamland and woke the next day asking if she slept through the night. Magic!! For me its a circulation improvement mat, for her its sleep aid. Get it for whatever reason but this is 5 stars to me.
Rose Singer
My experience was just like most other reviewers: ridiculously painful in the first few minutes, then the amazing warmth and muscle relaxation. :) The biggest thing I noticed was after I finished using it. I felt sooooo relaxed like I havent felt in a long time and I felt so good and happy (I struggle with depression and anxiety). It was an amazing feeling and that was only after the first use!! Oh and I used it right before bedtime and I fell right to sleep and slept great! I'll definitely be using this daily, and I'm looking forward to more awesome benefits!
Nina Stephenson
When I received this product I was a little worried that it would be too painful Boy was I wrong! I first tried it with a thin shirt and almost immediately melted into it. I then tried it bare skinned for ten minutes. I could feel the spikes but I wouldn't say it hurt. I could feel everything relax! I get regular massages but they always tell me I stay tight all over. I think this may help with that tension. Love, love, love it!
Genevieve Logan
Where has this been all my adult life!?!
I have severe back pain, and I even had to get physical therapy for it. Recently it came back and I usually have muscle cramps as well. Saw this in an article, and thought for awhile whether I should buy it or not. I was sceptical about it, even with such high ratings. Honestly, I was mentally prepared to return the item. I was SO darn wrong! This product is magic! I couldn't believe the great results!! I took it out of the package and used it right away, and voila! My pain got better in literally 10 mins!
OMG!! The best! And, for that price..WOW! I have been using this often, and it has been helping.
Hopefully with regular use I will see permanent improvements, cause my back pain has been so much better. Even if you're looking for temporary pain relief, this product is great. Hope this benefits others as well!
Flora Cain
Not only was almost all pain gone within 45 minutes, but I had actually fallen asleep on my mat!
Since my purchase roughly a month ago, all back pain has been drastically reduced because of this mat, and it has become the only form of relaxation I enjoy enough to frequently make time for.
Edith McConnell
I don't understand all the reasons why or how it works but I sleep better and feel better just in general all during day. Overall clearer thinking and more relaxed. I use neck piece daily and mat every other day. I'm not sure if everyone would like it, it does hurt when I first lay each time and it's tricky getting off without hurting some too but completely worth trying.
Hilda Lyons
I really enjoy this product. It definitely does help me relax and perhaps I have found some pain relief but haven't used it consistently to be able to comment on long term effects.That being said, it did help me when I got a migrane (especially the pillow). It definitely relieved my
migrane (I event fell asleep). I would definitely recommend!!
Addie Burns
It's really helped with muscle tension and I fall asleep faster/deeper. My husband was super skeptical and has a low pain tolerance and he fell asleep on it (bare back) the first time. I like that you can roll it up and that it comes with a detached pillow. I like to use them desperately because I'm more flat and it has more pressure on my back when I'm flat and not propped up by the pillow.
Happy with my purchase and you can't beat the price, especially with a lot of comparable products.
I've been recommending it to everyone.
Edith Springer
I just got this 2 days ago and am easing myself into it. I have hip pain, lower back pain, and headaches all of the time! I've done physical therapy in the past and that helped but it's expensive even with insurance. I have a tens unit which I love! But I wanted to try something else and I thunk this little thing is going to be perfect. It's absolutely pokey! It's kind of painful BUT in a good way. I know once I get myself used to it I will love it and wonder how I ever lived without it.
Elizabeth Browning
NO! It DOES NOT HURT! I love this mat. It helps relieve headaches and just feeling icky. I woke up feeling nauseous and sick- laid on this (pillow too) for 2, 30-minute intervals and felt much better. It has a calming affect on me.
Nettie Gentry
I love this mat. It makes my whole body throb and feel hot which is odd, but strangely relaxing. I get very sleepy when I lay on it. I would suggest just slowly working your way up. Wear a thicker top and then slowly go thinner.
Katherine Riggs
I am laying on the pillow under my hip with thin shorts on right now. And ill be darned but it freaking works! Zero pain and lots of smiles. If I use it on bare skin its even more intense but ill work my way up to that need be. To whomever invented this, thank you, its life changing and I might even sleep well tonight.
Sadie Lyons
This was my last ditch effort and holy crap. I went in fully expecting to have wasted money but I love this thing so much! It's like instant relief and the more I use it the better I feel. For me it helps break up the knots, instantly makes my muscles warm and for the neck pillow, I like to put it more under my head and slowly rotate my head back and forth so it feels like a head massage and has helped alleviate some migraine pain.
Irene Shea
I'm not going to lie the first few minutes was not a pleasant experience. Being stabbed isn't fun.
However, after you get past those first initial few moments you will feel a warmth in your back beginning to spread and then you just... relax. You just kind of melt. I haven't felt this good in about 30 years.
Flossie Farrell
This mat has been awesome! To be clear, it freakin hurts, but only for the first few minutes. If you breathe through it you will eventually feel warmth all over your back and neck, almost like that feeling when you sit on a heated seat and think you peed on yourself, except in this case it's your back/neck that peed.
Lela Dennis
Once you lay down you feel little pokes but wait that's nothing. It gets more and more intense but in a good way. After the initial little pokes your body slowly starts to warm up and the pokes get more intense as your muscles relax and sink further into the mat. You will eventually get so hot that you feel like you can't handle it anymore then boom all of a sudden it feels so good.
Susie Peterson
After messing up my back and going to the chiropractor twice and the doctor and being prescribed antiinflammatories and muscle relaxers...THIS FINALLY GAVE ME RELIEF. I'm still somewhat tight and it feels like a bruise but I can move again. Holy cow. Worth it.
Opal Holland
Well the booklet recommends beginners to start with 10-20 minutes. Immediately, I couldn't do the pillow part, but then I decided to take the plunge. Overall, my body initially braced as if it was going to hurt, but then when I breathed and let myself relax, my body started to warm up a little and I embraced it. Oh I'm so glad I did! I'm gonna do it every day and see how it helps! I'll update the review in like a week.
Hilda Driscoll
This is one of the seemingly stranger things we have tried for back pain and foot fatigue, but it is my absolute favorite. It seems counter intuitive to think that a whole mat of pokey points can actually make you feel better, but we have tried it on multiple people and we all agreed, it's weird but it works. For lower back pain it has been so effective I now travel with one, and have found that I consistently fall asleep on it.
Matilda Barker
From the first day I got this my shoulder started feeling better. I would wow up every night multiple times to take Percocet for the pain. I have had this for about a week and have not woken up once. I do use it twice a day. The first time caries in time but the 2nd time is right before I go to bed. It does help relax you.
Lula Hartley
I get horrible knots I'm my neck, shoulders, back from stress and wow. I personally don't find this mat painful. My husband did however. But I've been using it every evening since it arrived and it's soooo relaxing and I've definitely noticed a difference in tension in my back. For me it's a game changer. I've spent a small fortune on different tools, devices to help and who knew all it took was only some $ .gah!
Olga Wiggins
You feel the tension melting away and I even felt some bones popping in my neck as the tension was releasing. Pressure from my neck into my head that I felt from my migraine disappeared. This matt is amazing and I've only owned it for 20 mins I've already texted the link to some friends and family! Thank you so much!
Georgia Shafer
The first 3 minutes hurt pretty tbh, but push through it and you'll feel a relaxing, warm sensation. My back was more pain free after 20 minutes than it has been in years. Can't wait to keep using this and see how the results continue.
Dora Newell
So I have low back pain and I got to a chiro once a week. We still don't really know why I have pain, but my hips rotate a lot. Long story short- I have a high pain tolerance and just deal with it. I do exercises, stretches, posture support everything... nothing has helped immediately like this. And I have written maybe two reviews in my life if that says anything.
Laura Curtis
I used to get regular massages prior to quarantine and since I haven't been able to go I decided to try this out. I used it with clothes on at first because of reviews saying it would hurt and it was good but not amazing. I tried it without clothes on the floor and yes it freaking hurts a lot for like a few minutes but then you start to feel this warmth and tingly feeling and your tension just melts away. Be careful getting up it does sting for awhile but then you notice all your pain is gone! So amazing cause I have chronic neck and back pain and basically goes away in like 30 min! I plan on using every night!
Fern Peck
My muscles feel so much looser and I feel like I can move so much better than ever before. Initially when it arrived I was skeptical. I mean, I tried poking the little spikes and I was surprised by just how sharp they were. I was even a little scared of lying on it bare. At first you feel pain, obviously, but then your body sort of goes into this tingly trance. It's an unreal experience. I'm very excited that something so simple and cheap helped me out. Definitely give it a go!
Erma Mays
I've had this for a week and a half. I've experienced some relief in my back pain, but the biggest surprise has been my improved sleep. For years, I would wake up in middle of the night and be up for an hour or more. After starting with this mat, I generally sleep through the night. When I do wake up, I'm able to go back to sleep very quickly. I am consistently getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep, which used to be very rare for me. It takes some time to get used to being on the mat because it is uncomfortable (and downright painful) initially. Be patient and BREATHE. It is worth the initial discomfort!
Geraldine Farrell
Ok this maybe long but I can't stress enough how amazing this product has been. I originally bought this for my back pain but it has turned out to help with so much more. Yes it isn't the most comfortable thing in the world. First it's uncomfortable borderline painful for about a minute! Doesn't last long I promise after your back will get warm like you put icehot on it. After a few minutes you will start to feel your legs and arms get heavy then your head. It will relax your entire body. This has helped relieve my back pain but it has also significantly improved my sleeping.
Lizzie Sullivan
Bought as a gift, but keeping it myself. After the initial 2 minutes of wondering about the "burning" sensation, it actually feels so fantastic after that awkward start that I've had over an hour of nap-time on it, waking up very refreshed and without pain. No "burning" after about 2 minutes. I love laying on my back anyway, but with the little "pricks" of pressure it stimulates the back and somehow helps the aches and pains and tightness. It works!
Betty Joyce
So this definitely takes some getting used to. I do not have a high pain tolerance. I tried it with my shirt on, and could barely feel anything...with my shirt off I was suprised by how sharp/painful it was. The first 1-2 minutes are the worst. Then it start to burn a little, then it is just warm and pulsates...then it kind of starts to feel good. I sleep significantly better after using this. I use it for about 15-20 minutes, and afterwards I am nice and relaxed.
Myrtle Madden
I finally have my life back thanks to this product. I have chronic back pain and scoliosis. I have been immobile for about a week. Between icing, heating, hot showers, yoga and trying some movement, nothing has helped. I finally caved and bought this product and I have to be honest - it's incredible. I've had this product for thirty minutes and I have never been more inclined to give a review so fast. It truly has made me feel like I have my life back. I finally feel like I can move around. It feels like a massage in the right spots.
Clara Simpson
I am laying on my mat as I write this wondering if everyone knows how amazing this product is! I pinched my sciatic nerve and am a nurse so i just cant let pain slow me down! After my first use of this mat i was essentially pain free for close to 24hours!!!! The mat is sharp but not unbearable. Wear clothes at first and the heavier the clothes the less you'll feel it. Honestly its only bothersome if you plop down on it. I used it without clothes just after the second time. But this mat is honestly a lifesaver!
Hazel Walker
I am OBSESSED. I found this from The Skinny Confidential and it's completely changed my life. I do it first thing in the morning and do Wim Hoff deep breathing on it. I swear to you, I fall asleep on it every day as well when I meditate. I can sleep on this bed of nails. It forces my shoulders to relax in a way I can't naturally. I feel so peaceful and calm after I do it. I can lay on it for over an hour. 20 mins a day though and it's a game changer. highly recommend for back or shoulder pain or anxiety especially anxiety love this torture device. it's not bad, people who say it hurts on here are babies haha
Elizabeth Hilton
My husband suffers from back pain frequently. He's had back surgery before and willing to try anything. Anything you say?! I bought this nifty little thing after reading all the reviews. I admit, I didn't read the directions before instructing him to take his shirt off and just lay down. It was funnier to watch him enjoy the hellfire for a few minutes and tell him that nobody else complained of it. (I told him the truth after). He said once you get past that it's pretty comfortable. He could nap on it!
Sallie Alexander
The mat and pillow set is great because I can lay with my back on the mat and my neck/head on the pillow for ultimate healing, and the pillow can be used for isolated areas, such as the backs of the
legs, arms, or lower back. It's even great to keep in the car for some pain relief on the road.
Estelle Weber
Feels great! I got this today and I was scared it would hurt. So I laid on it with a thin tank top and felt absolutely nothing. So then I went shirtless and stayed on it for 20 minutes. It did make my back feel very warm and was a little red when I got up but I felt zero pain and zero discomfort. I do enjoy acupuncture though so maybe I'm used to the needle feeling. My husband went on with a shirt and felt mild discomfort and got off after a minute. My 6 year old daughter said she was relaxing on it and stayed on it for 10 minutes.
Isabel Davies
Ok so until you get used to this, it hurts. But oh boy, don't I love this!!! I get really bad headaches and it get worse with stress to a point where no medication can help me. This was actually recommended to me by a physical therapist. I lay on the mat and pillow every night before I go to sleep. It helps me to unwind and relax. I get the best night sleep when I do this. Also if I feel a headache coming, I just lay on the pillow for 10 min and it's gone!!
Martha Kimball
I was so skeptical and all around this seemed like a bad useless idea but my friend swore by his so for the price I decided to try it and IM OBSESSED. It hurt when you first lay on it but then after a while it turns to like a warm fuzzy feeling but this has eliminated my back pain and I am someone
who used to have to stretch and crack my back like 20 times per day I was always uncomfortable my back always hurt and I started using this once per day and now I only have to use it like every 3-4 days for 20-30 mins and I have no back pain in those days in between. I cannot believe how amazing my back feels now.
Anne Malone
Really enjoyed using this product. I have never used the $200+ ones but honestly, this one works really well. I noticed that I sleep better after using it for 10-15 minutes in the evening after a shower. I even fell asleep on it once! I would recommend using it with a thin shirt on (or you can put it inside a large pillow case and lay on it to see how you/your skin reacts to the lotus points.
Nettie Love
I don't have any back issues and tried it for 15 mins. It was uncomfortable at first and then I got this cool/warm feeling. It was soothing. After I got up my back felt like I went to a professional back popper. Haha.I definitely recommend this to everyone! I'm actually going to buy another one for my mom!
Marian Bacon
After the initial feeling your body begins to warm up. I felt myself pressing into the pillow and fully relaxing. You can feel pulsating and then complete relaxation. I didn't want to get off the mat. I read beginners should only do 10-15 minutes so I took the full 15. Afterwards I didn't have much trouble rolling off the mat & just felt generally better. I proceeded to do that mat for two more 10 minute sessions my first day! I absolutely love it & will be purchasing one for all members of my family!
Susan Andrews
Just by spending a few minutes laying on it we all felt tension release almost immediately. It's not exactly painful, it just causes a burning sensation but that's probably because it's awakening your nerves. I felt so revived and energetic after just 5 minutes. I'm really impressed and glad I didn't have to spend the $50 on similar products I've seen elsewhere. Definitely worth the money.
Ethel McClure
You can feel the lines of tension in your back unravel. I work at a computer all day long in my home office and carry a lot of tension and tightness between my shoulders and in my neck. When it gets too much I will push away from my desk and lay the mat on my office floor and lay on it for 10 minutes with the back of my shirt pushed up out of the way, it's a total back saver!
Katie Hodges
Love love love this product! I had purchased a similar one (more expensive brand name) and I like this one so much better! Plus it comes with a neck pillow! because the price is so reasonable it is the perfect Christmas gift for everyone! All my friends have tried mine and all say it hurts sooo good.
My favorite way to use is to rub my neck or feet with healing cannabis lotion and then use the mat.
Neck tension melts and feet feel like little clouds! Can't rave enough about this product!
Caroline Fowler
I would give the product a whole hearted 5/5 which includes the price point that I believe is more than reasonable. The mat seems to be good quality and folds up nicely on itself if you don't want to leave a porcupine on your floor to step on in the middle of the night. I haven't had any quality issues, tears, or breaks. I have used it multiple times with a shirt and without. No issues as of yet and I don't foresee any.
Ola Bauer
Let me just tell you that this product has saved my sanity. I suffer from fibromyalgia which makes me writhe in pain daily! I've heard many great things about this mat and as a fan of acupressure, I decided to give it a go! I am not disappointed at all.
Earl Durgan
Thank you, Pain-Free Aussies, this is the 3rd purchase from you. The mat is amazing.
Amanda Hatch
I absolutely love this little pad, it reminds me of laying on a bed of nails (at science centers) despite how it looks it has not caused any of us any discomfort while using, while I got the feeling I full on expected and desired this may not be liked by all people, my 9 yr old son with chronic pain steals this thing from me to use on himself. It could be considered uncomfortable at first but I nor did any of us get that sensation, it was almost instant pain relief from the second I laid on it.
Victoria Bowen
Wow! This mat means the world to me! I am 18 years old and I have been playing varsity volleyball for the past three years. I would always get back pain and never knew how to effectively treat it. I saw this product appear on tiktok and I was skeptical because it was just pointy plastic stuff on a mat. But this has been a game changer! Whenever my back is in pain, I personally like to use this mat a couple of hours before I sleep or during.
Alta Hall
You definitely need to build up tolerance to use this. Don't lay on it with bare skin at first. Work up to it. Lay on it without a skirt on but with a sheet or something thing laying on top. Then each time slowly move it up so they only a small portion of skin is exposed. Then keep moving the cover up until you can stand to lay on with with your bare skin. Also know that the first couple minutes are the worst, then the pain goes away. I try to lay on it for 15-20 mins before bed. It does help.
Elva Johns
HOLY MOLY! hell HELLO! That made a huge difference. Wow, this might really work or damage my internal organs. The uncomfortableness subsided after 5min or so. First and second times I made it to 15min. Third time I watched a 30min show. Felt sooo good although it does kinda burn after u get up. But it felt great! That too goes away. Truly it really did relaxe my shoulders and lower back. I have not used on the floor yet, only on the couch.
Alma Estes
Your back will go numb after a bit LOL so the pain is only temporary. The neck pillow works great if you have tension/tender spots at the base of your head. I have not fallen asleep on it although I have come close a few times. Well worth the money in my opinion. It has become part of my long-haul arsenal.
Christine Mills
If you can get through the rough bits, it really does help. I use it for about 15-20 minutes before bed two to three times a week and it temporarily reduces the tightness and spasming in my back and neck to a point where I can actually get some decent sleep. Overall, I'm impressed with this product despite the fact that it is a a pain in the back at times.
Susie Ayers
Painful at first, but not overwhelmingly, but soon, seems body releases and you kind of melt into it, then it feels so good, just don't want to get up! Felt a little numb when I got up, but soon noticed pain was gone! I should do it daily, but just don't set me time aside, but definitely helps on bad days!!
Amanda Owens
I got this on the recommendation of a colleague after she recommended a much more expensive version. Since I didn't exactly buy that a spikey mat would do that much to help my back pain that has been intermittent since I was in a serious car crash two years ago I wanted to try a slightly cheaper version. But I was very pleasantly surprised with how well this mat has done in helping control my pain. It helps increase circulation to the areas impacted by pain, which in turn, helps make everything feel better and a bit more loose. If you're on the fence about giving this a try, for the price I'd really recommend it.
Ellen Richards
I've tried everything under the sun so I thought what the heck. I ordered it and it's wonderful! I get up in the morning and I can barely move. I lay down on this for about 15 minutes and I feel so much better!! I don't know what kind of crazy magic this is and I don't care!! It works and that's all that matters!
Madeline Baker
This product seems like it would be cheap and ineffective. It's been quite the opposite for me. If pain dominates your life give it a try. I hope it brings some kind of relief like it has for me.
Rose Bloom
I would recommend to people who can handle it to use this without any layers of cloth between you and the mat for maximum effectiveness. It does hurt a bit at first, but within the first five minutes you get the flooding relief of blood circulation in the area.
Estelle Tipton
I've no idea if this is going to make a difference at all... but I'm currently on the mat for the first time and omg this feels so good already! Not sure if it's just a pain relocation but yeah, it's totally working. This is really very helpful. Easy to use and definitely gives me pain relief!
Dorothy Woodward
The first few times I laid on the mat, I did it with a thin tank top and I have built up the stamina to lay on it barebacked. That is when I feel I get the most out of it when i get the blood flowing. Sometimes if I just feel the tension in my neck I will take the pillow and put it under my neck and lay on it and even that helps a lot! Really love this mat!!
Susan Farris
I have hardly been able to walk with so much hip pain. I layed down on this bed of nails mat, and almost fell asleep after the first few minutes of wondering if the pain of the spikes would recede, as I read in reviews, and it did! It felt so good I did not want to get up. I am getting another one for my daughter to see if it helps with her headaches and body pain.
Victoria Morrison
I've been impressed with it, and you can use it with a light sheet or tshirt if you can't handle it bareback, but you will definitely get more out of it without a shirt. yes, it does stick you pretty well, but as many others have said, the pain goes away pretty fast.
Freda Murphy
The mat will definitely take some getting use to. When you first lay on it, it feels like you have a really bad sunburn. After a good 10 minutes or so you won't notice that as much. You will start to feel your body relax and get this amazing rush of endorphins. Definitely worth a try if you're suffering from back and neck pain!
Lydia Clay
I purchased this mat and after the first use I could already notice a difference. I'm two weeks in now. I use it every morning for 30 minutes, without a shirt on. This mat and pillow have honestly saved my life! My pain is completely gone and I feel like a teenager again!
Isabelle Starr
If you're the kind of person that likes really really hard-pressure massages or things that "hurt so good" to feel like they're working... this is for you. For the price point, this is totally worth trying out.
Norma Foster
This is initially painful! However my husband and I, are in a lot of pain every day. Chronic pain and specific pain with exacerbations! Medication and I mean heavy duty meds can only do so much! This is helpful because even though you feel pain initially it then starts making you feel relieved and more relaxed! I did a lot of research on these and so far after finding a very expensive brand, I found this one for more than half the cost!
Susie Quinn
I am incredibly surprised by this product. I am someone who has a very hard time sleeping. My
insomnia is quite terrible and I've tried everything, not even melatonin works, the only success I've had was medicinal Marijuana until now. This mat for the price does an incredible job. It takes getting used too, the pain is very strong at first. I just focus on staying relaxed and use something simple to keep my mind off the pain.
Betty Mitchell
I love these mats, so when I found this one I bought it right away, It came the very next day and I instantly took it out to use it. Of course, getting on it is slightly painful. Especially if you have to
adjust. But, after being on it for a few minutes you no longer have any pain. It starts to feel warm and relieving. It gets to the point that you don't really notice it, and you feel like you are laying on a warm
cloud.
Lena Beach
I was a little skeptical going into this but I LOVE this spiky mat! I do feel like it helps me sleep better and dare I say, I also feel a bit more regular with my gut habits since using this mat every day. I definitely don't think I'll stop using this thing any time soon!
Etta Christopher
I was skeptical, yet desperate, when I purchased this. I tried it once and quickly learned that it does take some time to get used to it!
But, every other time since then, had been so beneficial to me! I get tension pain in my neck and shoulders and pain in my lower back. It helps a lot with the pain and is actually quite relaxing and soothing! I lie on my back, with my shirt pulled up. Yes, the acupressure "needles" will leave marks.
But, it feels so good that it does not matter to me!
Allie McCullough
I was pretty sure this was a gimmick, but after massage therapy didn't help and weeks of taking advil every night so I could sleep through my back pain and headaches, I was ready to try anything. The mat feels surprisingly comfortable while in use, and using it for a few days in a row reduced my back tension significantly. I now use it whenever my back hurts even a little bit, usually 1-3 times per
week.
Sadie Reeves
After the first time using it for 30 minutes, I felt like I was 18 again. I was bending over touching my toes and showing my wife that my lower back pain was finally gone. Could it really be true? I promise I'm not a "paid actor" and I never advertised things that don't work, but this mat has saved me. I'm back into the gym and I feel amazing! Seriously Thank you!!!
Jean Koch
This product works, and it doesn't make sense but it has helped me get better sleep from alleviation to my muscles that were somehow targeted by the spikes on the mat. I will definitely keep using it and I'm going to be purchasing another to use while on my trips.
Winifred Ross
This absolutely does the job. 30 minutes on this and I'm feeling zen and relaxed and ready to wind down. I've even passed out on this after a 18 hour day on my feet. The relief was that substantial it just knocked me clean out. I woke up two hours later with all the lights and the TV still on. I don't believe this mat works miracles nor do I believe it replaces acupuncture or a regular doctor visits for chronic conditions. But I do believe this to be an effective solution to moderate aches pains tensions and I use it at least once a week.
Helen Barry
I immediately felt a release of my tensed muscles in my neck, back, and shoulders; it was about half as painful as before laying on the mat. Success!! I decided to use it again a few hours later; for another 15 minutes, and felt even better. I would recommend this to ANYONE with muscular and/or joint pain and inflammation. I am absolutely going to continue using this product every day as a part of my pain reduction regimen.
Esther Kirby
I actually bought this to try after being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia to see if it would help my overall muscular body pain. It gives a whole new sensation to my body when i sit or lay down on it. It hurts and feels like needles poking you but after you lay down on it for a while, it also takes your mind off the muscular pain. It's sort of like fighting your pain with more pain and it seems to help. I don't understand why it helps but I have been using it when needed and I feel better after using it. It' s a totally different sensation.
Hilda Callahan
I sit at my job all day and the mid part of my back gets sore and tight. This helps to relax those
muscles.
Helen Strickland
It wasn't as painful as I anticipated at first and I was able to do on bare skin. Dont get me wrong, it
was uncomfortable at first but it gets better within a couple minutes. It definitely stung a bit getting off of it, and was a little sore after but it was all manageable. Spots fully went away in about 30 minutes.
Doris Estes
I have Fibromyalgia and this seems to do awesome with getting my brain to rewire the pain. Super pumped about the possibilities. Not sure about the neck pillow yet. I have a bit of desensitization because of having pain everywhere, so if others say this hurts I'd believe them, but IMO it's just pokey- like its meant to be lol. If you didn't expect that and docked stars for pain, I don't think that's fair. The point is to make your body 'think', so it's excellent for meditation and mindfulness!! Love this after some yoga, and can lay it on my bed if I feel like it. Very lovely product.
Charlotte Reese
Okay, I will admit it is intimidating looking, and if used carelessly it can hurt, BUT every single person who has tried this (essentially everyone who has been to my house since I bought it) always loves it. Sure, they say ouch at first, but try taking it away from them. This set is SO relaxing. Great for pain relief, and I've also had success using it for digestive issues as well. If you're into holistic or alternative medicine at all then this set is absolutely indispensable.
Amelia Meyer
I feel more calm and relaxed since I have started using this product and my overall pain level has been a bit more manageable. And with constant pain, I will take that as a win! I really hope this continues to work for me and I will definitely purchase again should the need arise.
Hazel Britt
Honestly, at first the mat hurts a bit. Then after about 3-4 minutes the uncomfortable feeling goes away and it settles in. I could have fallen asleep on it. Anyway, I was on the acupressure mat for 20 minutes this morning. When I was done and got off, ALL my lower back pain and mid back tightness was completely gone. I couldn't believe it, as I've never experienced anything like it.
Marie Madden
I suffer from SI Joint Inflammation & Dysfunction and have not found any pain relief from anything until I used this. Granted, I didn't follow instructions as far as how much time to spend on this Matt, but! I laid on here for close to 1 1/2 hours and I had little to no pain the next day, I could lift my leg to put on pants & underwear, and walk 100% better! I've been suffering with pain for 5 years, and for the first time I feel hope.
Susan Poole
This mat, with practice, seems like one of those things that's such a simple, beautiful, natural assistant that everyone should use!
Irma Hyde
This mat is magic. Period. It sounded too good to be true but for once it is not! If you have any aches or pains, BUY THIS. You won't regret it. It comes with a little booklet that shows you many different ways to use it!
Marjorie Key
My husband tried it an experienced something similar. It almost had more of a "craniosacral" affect on him. He relaxed and was seeing colors dance behind his closed eye lids.
I don't know how much this is going to help with muscular pain but the relaxation effect (who doesn't
need that?) makes it a very valuable "tool" for me.

The best acupressure mat you can buy, I highly recommend it.
Lesley Feest
I love this mat. I tried my friend's one some time ago and finally decided to get my own. For me it's just a perfect way to relax before bed. The initial pinch when lying down goes away quickly and leaves you with a lovely warm feeling.
Sarah Bassan
I was so surprised at how quickly the initial discomfort transformed into the most soothing warm sensation. I can't recommend the mat enough.
Judy C.
I've been experiencing neck, upper back, left shoulder and arm pain, tingling and at times numbness due to bulging discs in c4 to c6 and Osteophytes in c7. The Mat has helped in reducing a lot of pain. I use it daily. Sometimes twice daily. It did not take very long to get used to the bitey feel of the spikes. Now I look forward to that feeling. It disappears soon after laying on my Mat and is replaced with a feeling of comfort and relaxation. Love it! Thank you, Pain Free Aussies.
Adrian Scanlon
For the first two tries, I put a thin t-shirt on, but after that I was ready to go bareback. I've been using it for a little over a week and it has helped my sleep a lot. My neck pain and back pain have disappeared since I started using this mat.
Albert Kling
Cool thing, it's really relaxing. The roller under the head relieves a headache! In general, I'm happy. Delivered to Melbourne within 5 days. Impressive!
Alex Bond
Could not believe the results after using this Mat and pillow. I've noticed a huge difference in quality of sleep and when I wake up little to no aches or pains from just lying on it for 20 mins each night. It's just that I have to find time for it during my busy lifestyle.
Lempi Bashirian
Item ordered 29.02.2021, arrived 03.10.2021. The quality of the fabric is cotton, a mat on 2 Velcro, a cushion with a zipper. Massage needles made of plastic and glued to the fabric. The seller is sociable, and answers very quickly.
Maymie K.
I've had lower back troubles for about 5 years. I was recommended a mat and am so glad I bought one straight away. It's uncomfortable to begin with, but once the warmth kicks in, it's a great relaxer before bed and I haven't had any back issues since. I use my mat once a day, for around 10 minutes.
Gregg Maror
The long-awaited rug came. Quality at 5: dense cotton material of the mat and pillows, neatly glued "barbs", the seams are even. Filling-foam rubber. I Immediately washed in a delicate mode-everything was in place. very satisfied!
Johann Schumm
Being a FIFO worker and doing shift work with long hours the Mat has been a massive help in releasing tension in my back/shoulders and neck as well as aiding in relaxation to get to sleep due to always moving to different rooms/beds. Small enough to travel with but large enough to give a full back coverage.
Cristobal Angeles
Delivered the courier to the house, very fast delivery! Kotik already appreciated the mat, it came up to him
Margaretta Maggio
Working at my makeshift desk, my back was killing me at the end of my day. I have found that lying on my mat has relieved a lot of tension in my back and neck (I purchased the pillow too). Hoping to be able to handle the mat without a t-shirt very soon. Loved this so much that I purchased one for my Dad.
Freddy Donnelly
Since I've been using my mat daily I am sleeping so much better after a lifetime of broken sleep. I also find it's helping reduce tension in my muscles and generally making me feel physically better. I cannot recommend it enough.
Lillie Mercer
For the first time in years, woman had such tranquility after 1 time with the mat, she went right to dreamland and woke the next day asking if she slept through the night. Magic!! For me its a circulation improvement mat, for her its sleep aid. Get it for whatever reason but this is 5 stars to me.
Rose Singer
My experience was just like most other reviewers: ridiculously painful in the first few minutes, then the amazing warmth and muscle relaxation. :) The biggest thing I noticed was after I finished using it. I felt sooooo relaxed like I havent felt in a long time and I felt so good and happy (I struggle with depression and anxiety). It was an amazing feeling and that was only after the first use!! Oh and I used it right before bedtime and I fell right to sleep and slept great! I'll definitely be using this daily, and I'm looking forward to more awesome benefits!
Nina Stephenson
When I received this product I was a little worried that it would be too painful Boy was I wrong! I first tried it with a thin shirt and almost immediately melted into it. I then tried it bare skinned for ten minutes. I could feel the spikes but I wouldn't say it hurt. I could feel everything relax! I get regular massages but they always tell me I stay tight all over. I think this may help with that tension. Love, love, love it!
Genevieve Logan
Where has this been all my adult life!?!
I have severe back pain, and I even had to get physical therapy for it. Recently it came back and I usually have muscle cramps as well. Saw this in an article, and thought for awhile whether I should buy it or not. I was sceptical about it, even with such high ratings. Honestly, I was mentally prepared to return the item. I was SO darn wrong! This product is magic! I couldn't believe the great results!! I took it out of the package and used it right away, and voila! My pain got better in literally 10 mins!
OMG!! The best! And, for that price..WOW! I have been using this often, and it has been helping.
Hopefully with regular use I will see permanent improvements, cause my back pain has been so much better. Even if you're looking for temporary pain relief, this product is great. Hope this benefits others as well!
Flora Cain
Not only was almost all pain gone within 45 minutes, but I had actually fallen asleep on my mat!
Since my purchase roughly a month ago, all back pain has been drastically reduced because of this mat, and it has become the only form of relaxation I enjoy enough to frequently make time for.
Edith McConnell
I don't understand all the reasons why or how it works but I sleep better and feel better just in general all during day. Overall clearer thinking and more relaxed. I use neck piece daily and mat every other day. I'm not sure if everyone would like it, it does hurt when I first lay each time and it's tricky getting off without hurting some too but completely worth trying.
Hilda Lyons
I really enjoy this product. It definitely does help me relax and perhaps I have found some pain relief but haven't used it consistently to be able to comment on long term effects.That being said, it did help me when I got a migrane (especially the pillow). It definitely relieved my
migrane (I event fell asleep). I would definitely recommend!!
Addie Burns
It's really helped with muscle tension and I fall asleep faster/deeper. My husband was super skeptical and has a low pain tolerance and he fell asleep on it (bare back) the first time. I like that you can roll it up and that it comes with a detached pillow. I like to use them desperately because I'm more flat and it has more pressure on my back when I'm flat and not propped up by the pillow.
Happy with my purchase and you can't beat the price, especially with a lot of comparable products.
I've been recommending it to everyone.
Edith Springer
I just got this 2 days ago and am easing myself into it. I have hip pain, lower back pain, and headaches all of the time! I've done physical therapy in the past and that helped but it's expensive even with insurance. I have a tens unit which I love! But I wanted to try something else and I thunk this little thing is going to be perfect. It's absolutely pokey! It's kind of painful BUT in a good way. I know once I get myself used to it I will love it and wonder how I ever lived without it.
Elizabeth Browning
NO! It DOES NOT HURT! I love this mat. It helps relieve headaches and just feeling icky. I woke up feeling nauseous and sick- laid on this (pillow too) for 2, 30-minute intervals and felt much better. It has a calming affect on me.
Nettie Gentry
I love this mat. It makes my whole body throb and feel hot which is odd, but strangely relaxing. I get very sleepy when I lay on it. I would suggest just slowly working your way up. Wear a thicker top and then slowly go thinner.
Katherine Riggs
I am laying on the pillow under my hip with thin shorts on right now. And ill be darned but it freaking works! Zero pain and lots of smiles. If I use it on bare skin its even more intense but ill work my way up to that need be. To whomever invented this, thank you, its life changing and I might even sleep well tonight.
Sadie Lyons
This was my last ditch effort and holy crap. I went in fully expecting to have wasted money but I love this thing so much! It's like instant relief and the more I use it the better I feel. For me it helps break up the knots, instantly makes my muscles warm and for the neck pillow, I like to put it more under my head and slowly rotate my head back and forth so it feels like a head massage and has helped alleviate some migraine pain.
Irene Shea
I'm not going to lie the first few minutes was not a pleasant experience. Being stabbed isn't fun.
However, after you get past those first initial few moments you will feel a warmth in your back beginning to spread and then you just... relax. You just kind of melt. I haven't felt this good in about 30 years.
Flossie Farrell
This mat has been awesome! To be clear, it freakin hurts, but only for the first few minutes. If you breathe through it you will eventually feel warmth all over your back and neck, almost like that feeling when you sit on a heated seat and think you peed on yourself, except in this case it's your back/neck that peed.
Lela Dennis
Once you lay down you feel little pokes but wait that's nothing. It gets more and more intense but in a good way. After the initial little pokes your body slowly starts to warm up and the pokes get more intense as your muscles relax and sink further into the mat. You will eventually get so hot that you feel like you can't handle it anymore then boom all of a sudden it feels so good.
Susie Peterson
After messing up my back and going to the chiropractor twice and the doctor and being prescribed antiinflammatories and muscle relaxers...THIS FINALLY GAVE ME RELIEF. I'm still somewhat tight and it feels like a bruise but I can move again. Holy cow. Worth it.
Opal Holland
Well the booklet recommends beginners to start with 10-20 minutes. Immediately, I couldn't do the pillow part, but then I decided to take the plunge. Overall, my body initially braced as if it was going to hurt, but then when I breathed and let myself relax, my body started to warm up a little and I embraced it. Oh I'm so glad I did! I'm gonna do it every day and see how it helps! I'll update the review in like a week.
Hilda Driscoll
This is one of the seemingly stranger things we have tried for back pain and foot fatigue, but it is my absolute favorite. It seems counter intuitive to think that a whole mat of pokey points can actually make you feel better, but we have tried it on multiple people and we all agreed, it's weird but it works. For lower back pain it has been so effective I now travel with one, and have found that I consistently fall asleep on it.
Matilda Barker
From the first day I got this my shoulder started feeling better. I would wow up every night multiple times to take Percocet for the pain. I have had this for about a week and have not woken up once. I do use it twice a day. The first time caries in time but the 2nd time is right before I go to bed. It does help relax you.
Lula Hartley
I get horrible knots I'm my neck, shoulders, back from stress and wow. I personally don't find this mat painful. My husband did however. But I've been using it every evening since it arrived and it's soooo relaxing and I've definitely noticed a difference in tension in my back. For me it's a game changer. I've spent a small fortune on different tools, devices to help and who knew all it took was only some $ .gah!
Olga Wiggins
You feel the tension melting away and I even felt some bones popping in my neck as the tension was releasing. Pressure from my neck into my head that I felt from my migraine disappeared. This matt is amazing and I've only owned it for 20 mins I've already texted the link to some friends and family! Thank you so much!
Georgia Shafer
The first 3 minutes hurt pretty tbh, but push through it and you'll feel a relaxing, warm sensation. My back was more pain free after 20 minutes than it has been in years. Can't wait to keep using this and see how the results continue.
Dora Newell
So I have low back pain and I got to a chiro once a week. We still don't really know why I have pain, but my hips rotate a lot. Long story short- I have a high pain tolerance and just deal with it. I do exercises, stretches, posture support everything... nothing has helped immediately like this. And I have written maybe two reviews in my life if that says anything.
Laura Curtis
I used to get regular massages prior to quarantine and since I haven't been able to go I decided to try this out. I used it with clothes on at first because of reviews saying it would hurt and it was good but not amazing. I tried it without clothes on the floor and yes it freaking hurts a lot for like a few minutes but then you start to feel this warmth and tingly feeling and your tension just melts away. Be careful getting up it does sting for awhile but then you notice all your pain is gone! So amazing cause I have chronic neck and back pain and basically goes away in like 30 min! I plan on using every night!
Fern Peck
My muscles feel so much looser and I feel like I can move so much better than ever before. Initially when it arrived I was skeptical. I mean, I tried poking the little spikes and I was surprised by just how sharp they were. I was even a little scared of lying on it bare. At first you feel pain, obviously, but then your body sort of goes into this tingly trance. It's an unreal experience. I'm very excited that something so simple and cheap helped me out. Definitely give it a go!
Erma Mays
I've had this for a week and a half. I've experienced some relief in my back pain, but the biggest surprise has been my improved sleep. For years, I would wake up in middle of the night and be up for an hour or more. After starting with this mat, I generally sleep through the night. When I do wake up, I'm able to go back to sleep very quickly. I am consistently getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep, which used to be very rare for me. It takes some time to get used to being on the mat because it is uncomfortable (and downright painful) initially. Be patient and BREATHE. It is worth the initial discomfort!
Geraldine Farrell
Ok this maybe long but I can't stress enough how amazing this product has been. I originally bought this for my back pain but it has turned out to help with so much more. Yes it isn't the most comfortable thing in the world. First it's uncomfortable borderline painful for about a minute! Doesn't last long I promise after your back will get warm like you put icehot on it. After a few minutes you will start to feel your legs and arms get heavy then your head. It will relax your entire body. This has helped relieve my back pain but it has also significantly improved my sleeping.
Lizzie Sullivan
Bought as a gift, but keeping it myself. After the initial 2 minutes of wondering about the "burning" sensation, it actually feels so fantastic after that awkward start that I've had over an hour of nap-time on it, waking up very refreshed and without pain. No "burning" after about 2 minutes. I love laying on my back anyway, but with the little "pricks" of pressure it stimulates the back and somehow helps the aches and pains and tightness. It works!
Betty Joyce
So this definitely takes some getting used to. I do not have a high pain tolerance. I tried it with my shirt on, and could barely feel anything...with my shirt off I was suprised by how sharp/painful it was. The first 1-2 minutes are the worst. Then it start to burn a little, then it is just warm and pulsates...then it kind of starts to feel good. I sleep significantly better after using this. I use it for about 15-20 minutes, and afterwards I am nice and relaxed.
Myrtle Madden
I finally have my life back thanks to this product. I have chronic back pain and scoliosis. I have been immobile for about a week. Between icing, heating, hot showers, yoga and trying some movement, nothing has helped. I finally caved and bought this product and I have to be honest - it's incredible. I've had this product for thirty minutes and I have never been more inclined to give a review so fast. It truly has made me feel like I have my life back. I finally feel like I can move around. It feels like a massage in the right spots.
Clara Simpson
I am laying on my mat as I write this wondering if everyone knows how amazing this product is! I pinched my sciatic nerve and am a nurse so i just cant let pain slow me down! After my first use of this mat i was essentially pain free for close to 24hours!!!! The mat is sharp but not unbearable. Wear clothes at first and the heavier the clothes the less you'll feel it. Honestly its only bothersome if you plop down on it. I used it without clothes just after the second time. But this mat is honestly a lifesaver!
Hazel Walker
I am OBSESSED. I found this from The Skinny Confidential and it's completely changed my life. I do it first thing in the morning and do Wim Hoff deep breathing on it. I swear to you, I fall asleep on it every day as well when I meditate. I can sleep on this bed of nails. It forces my shoulders to relax in a way I can't naturally. I feel so peaceful and calm after I do it. I can lay on it for over an hour. 20 mins a day though and it's a game changer. highly recommend for back or shoulder pain or anxiety especially anxiety love this torture device. it's not bad, people who say it hurts on here are babies haha
Elizabeth Hilton
My husband suffers from back pain frequently. He's had back surgery before and willing to try anything. Anything you say?! I bought this nifty little thing after reading all the reviews. I admit, I didn't read the directions before instructing him to take his shirt off and just lay down. It was funnier to watch him enjoy the hellfire for a few minutes and tell him that nobody else complained of it. (I told him the truth after). He said once you get past that it's pretty comfortable. He could nap on it!
Sallie Alexander
The mat and pillow set is great because I can lay with my back on the mat and my neck/head on the pillow for ultimate healing, and the pillow can be used for isolated areas, such as the backs of the
legs, arms, or lower back. It's even great to keep in the car for some pain relief on the road.
Estelle Weber
Feels great! I got this today and I was scared it would hurt. So I laid on it with a thin tank top and felt absolutely nothing. So then I went shirtless and stayed on it for 20 minutes. It did make my back feel very warm and was a little red when I got up but I felt zero pain and zero discomfort. I do enjoy acupuncture though so maybe I'm used to the needle feeling. My husband went on with a shirt and felt mild discomfort and got off after a minute. My 6 year old daughter said she was relaxing on it and stayed on it for 10 minutes.
Isabel Davies
Ok so until you get used to this, it hurts. But oh boy, don't I love this!!! I get really bad headaches and it get worse with stress to a point where no medication can help me. This was actually recommended to me by a physical therapist. I lay on the mat and pillow every night before I go to sleep. It helps me to unwind and relax. I get the best night sleep when I do this. Also if I feel a headache coming, I just lay on the pillow for 10 min and it's gone!!
Martha Kimball
I was so skeptical and all around this seemed like a bad useless idea but my friend swore by his so for the price I decided to try it and IM OBSESSED. It hurt when you first lay on it but then after a while it turns to like a warm fuzzy feeling but this has eliminated my back pain and I am someone
who used to have to stretch and crack my back like 20 times per day I was always uncomfortable my back always hurt and I started using this once per day and now I only have to use it like every 3-4 days for 20-30 mins and I have no back pain in those days in between. I cannot believe how amazing my back feels now.
Anne Malone
Really enjoyed using this product. I have never used the $200+ ones but honestly, this one works really well. I noticed that I sleep better after using it for 10-15 minutes in the evening after a shower. I even fell asleep on it once! I would recommend using it with a thin shirt on (or you can put it inside a large pillow case and lay on it to see how you/your skin reacts to the lotus points.
Nettie Love
I don't have any back issues and tried it for 15 mins. It was uncomfortable at first and then I got this cool/warm feeling. It was soothing. After I got up my back felt like I went to a professional back popper. Haha.I definitely recommend this to everyone! I'm actually going to buy another one for my mom!
Marian Bacon
After the initial feeling your body begins to warm up. I felt myself pressing into the pillow and fully relaxing. You can feel pulsating and then complete relaxation. I didn't want to get off the mat. I read beginners should only do 10-15 minutes so I took the full 15. Afterwards I didn't have much trouble rolling off the mat & just felt generally better. I proceeded to do that mat for two more 10 minute sessions my first day! I absolutely love it & will be purchasing one for all members of my family!
Susan Andrews
Just by spending a few minutes laying on it we all felt tension release almost immediately. It's not exactly painful, it just causes a burning sensation but that's probably because it's awakening your nerves. I felt so revived and energetic after just 5 minutes. I'm really impressed and glad I didn't have to spend the $50 on similar products I've seen elsewhere. Definitely worth the money.
Ethel McClure
You can feel the lines of tension in your back unravel. I work at a computer all day long in my home office and carry a lot of tension and tightness between my shoulders and in my neck. When it gets too much I will push away from my desk and lay the mat on my office floor and lay on it for 10 minutes with the back of my shirt pushed up out of the way, it's a total back saver!
Katie Hodges
Love love love this product! I had purchased a similar one (more expensive brand name) and I like this one so much better! Plus it comes with a neck pillow! because the price is so reasonable it is the perfect Christmas gift for everyone! All my friends have tried mine and all say it hurts sooo good.
My favorite way to use is to rub my neck or feet with healing cannabis lotion and then use the mat.
Neck tension melts and feet feel like little clouds! Can't rave enough about this product!
Caroline Fowler
I would give the product a whole hearted 5/5 which includes the price point that I believe is more than reasonable. The mat seems to be good quality and folds up nicely on itself if you don't want to leave a porcupine on your floor to step on in the middle of the night. I haven't had any quality issues, tears, or breaks. I have used it multiple times with a shirt and without. No issues as of yet and I don't foresee any.
Ola Bauer
Let me just tell you that this product has saved my sanity. I suffer from fibromyalgia which makes me writhe in pain daily! I've heard many great things about this mat and as a fan of acupressure, I decided to give it a go! I am not disappointed at all.
Earl Durgan
Thank you, Pain-Free Aussies, this is the 3rd purchase from you. The mat is amazing.
Amanda Hatch
I absolutely love this little pad, it reminds me of laying on a bed of nails (at science centers) despite how it looks it has not caused any of us any discomfort while using, while I got the feeling I full on expected and desired this may not be liked by all people, my 9 yr old son with chronic pain steals this thing from me to use on himself. It could be considered uncomfortable at first but I nor did any of us get that sensation, it was almost instant pain relief from the second I laid on it.
Victoria Bowen
Wow! This mat means the world to me! I am 18 years old and I have been playing varsity volleyball for the past three years. I would always get back pain and never knew how to effectively treat it. I saw this product appear on tiktok and I was skeptical because it was just pointy plastic stuff on a mat. But this has been a game changer! Whenever my back is in pain, I personally like to use this mat a couple of hours before I sleep or during.

You definitely need to build up tolerance to use this. Don't lay on it with bare skin at first. Work up to it. Lay on it without a skirt on but with a sheet or something thing laying on top. Then each time slowly move it up so they only a small portion of skin is exposed. Then keep moving the cover up until you can stand to lay on with with your bare skin. Also know that the first couple minutes are the worst, then the pain goes away. I try to lay on it for 15-20 mins before bed. It does help.

HOLY MOLY! hell HELLO! That made a huge difference. Wow, this might really work or damage my internal organs. The uncomfortableness subsided after 5min or so. First and second times I made it to 15min. Third time I watched a 30min show. Felt sooo good although it does kinda burn after u get up. But it felt great! That too goes away. Truly it really did relaxe my shoulders and lower back. I have not used on the floor yet, only on the couch.

Your back will go numb after a bit LOL so the pain is only temporary. The neck pillow works great if you have tension/tender spots at the base of your head. I have not fallen asleep on it although I have come close a few times. Well worth the money in my opinion. It has become part of my long-haul arsenal.
Christine Mills
If you can get through the rough bits, it really does help. I use it for about 15-20 minutes before bed two to three times a week and it temporarily reduces the tightness and spasming in my back and neck to a point where I can actually get some decent sleep. Overall, I'm impressed with this product despite the fact that it is a a pain in the back at times.
Susie Ayers
Painful at first, but not overwhelmingly, but soon, seems body releases and you kind of melt into it, then it feels so good, just don't want to get up! Felt a little numb when I got up, but soon noticed pain was gone! I should do it daily, but just don't set me time aside, but definitely helps on bad days!!
Amanda Owens
I got this on the recommendation of a colleague after she recommended a much more expensive version. Since I didn't exactly buy that a spikey mat would do that much to help my back pain that has been intermittent since I was in a serious car crash two years ago I wanted to try a slightly cheaper version. But I was very pleasantly surprised with how well this mat has done in helping control my pain. It helps increase circulation to the areas impacted by pain, which in turn, helps make everything feel better and a bit more loose. If you're on the fence about giving this a try, for the price I'd really recommend it.
Ellen Richards
I've tried everything under the sun so I thought what the heck. I ordered it and it's wonderful! I get up in the morning and I can barely move. I lay down on this for about 15 minutes and I feel so much better!! I don't know what kind of crazy magic this is and I don't care!! It works and that's all that matters!
Madeline Baker
This product seems like it would be cheap and ineffective. It's been quite the opposite for me. If pain dominates your life give it a try. I hope it brings some kind of relief like it has for me.
Rose Bloom
I would recommend to people who can handle it to use this without any layers of cloth between you and the mat for maximum effectiveness. It does hurt a bit at first, but within the first five minutes you get the flooding relief of blood circulation in the area.
Estelle Tipton
I've no idea if this is going to make a difference at all... but I'm currently on the mat for the first time and omg this feels so good already! Not sure if it's just a pain relocation but yeah, it's totally working. This is really very helpful. Easy to use and definitely gives me pain relief!
Dorothy Woodward
The first few times I laid on the mat, I did it with a thin tank top and I have built up the stamina to lay on it barebacked. That is when I feel I get the most out of it when i get the blood flowing. Sometimes if I just feel the tension in my neck I will take the pillow and put it under my neck and lay on it and even that helps a lot! Really love this mat!!
Susan Farris
I have hardly been able to walk with so much hip pain. I layed down on this bed of nails mat, and almost fell asleep after the first few minutes of wondering if the pain of the spikes would recede, as I read in reviews, and it did! It felt so good I did not want to get up. I am getting another one for my daughter to see if it helps with her headaches and body pain.
Victoria Morrison
I've been impressed with it, and you can use it with a light sheet or tshirt if you can't handle it bareback, but you will definitely get more out of it without a shirt. yes, it does stick you pretty well, but as many others have said, the pain goes away pretty fast.
Freda Murphy
The mat will definitely take some getting use to. When you first lay on it, it feels like you have a really bad sunburn. After a good 10 minutes or so you won't notice that as much. You will start to feel your body relax and get this amazing rush of endorphins. Definitely worth a try if you're suffering from back and neck pain!
Lydia Clay
I purchased this mat and after the first use I could already notice a difference. I'm two weeks in now. I use it every morning for 30 minutes, without a shirt on. This mat and pillow have honestly saved my life! My pain is completely gone and I feel like a teenager again!
Isabelle Starr
If you're the kind of person that likes really really hard-pressure massages or things that "hurt so good" to feel like they're working... this is for you. For the price point, this is totally worth trying out.
Norma Foster
This is initially painful! However my husband and I, are in a lot of pain every day. Chronic pain and specific pain with exacerbations! Medication and I mean heavy duty meds can only do so much! This is helpful because even though you feel pain initially it then starts making you feel relieved and more relaxed! I did a lot of research on these and so far after finding a very expensive brand, I found this one for more than half the cost!
Susie Quinn
I am incredibly surprised by this product. I am someone who has a very hard time sleeping. My
insomnia is quite terrible and I've tried everything, not even melatonin works, the only success I've had was medicinal Marijuana until now. This mat for the price does an incredible job. It takes getting used too, the pain is very strong at first. I just focus on staying relaxed and use something simple to keep my mind off the pain.
Betty Mitchell
I love these mats, so when I found this one I bought it right away, It came the very next day and I instantly took it out to use it. Of course, getting on it is slightly painful. Especially if you have to
adjust. But, after being on it for a few minutes you no longer have any pain. It starts to feel warm and relieving. It gets to the point that you don't really notice it, and you feel like you are laying on a warm
cloud.
Lena Beach
I was a little skeptical going into this but I LOVE this spiky mat! I do feel like it helps me sleep better and dare I say, I also feel a bit more regular with my gut habits since using this mat every day. I definitely don't think I'll stop using this thing any time soon!
Etta Christopher
I was skeptical, yet desperate, when I purchased this. I tried it once and quickly learned that it does take some time to get used to it!
But, every other time since then, had been so beneficial to me! I get tension pain in my neck and shoulders and pain in my lower back. It helps a lot with the pain and is actually quite relaxing and soothing! I lie on my back, with my shirt pulled up. Yes, the acupressure "needles" will leave marks.
But, it feels so good that it does not matter to me!
Allie McCullough
I was pretty sure this was a gimmick, but after massage therapy didn't help and weeks of taking advil every night so I could sleep through my back pain and headaches, I was ready to try anything. The mat feels surprisingly comfortable while in use, and using it for a few days in a row reduced my back tension significantly. I now use it whenever my back hurts even a little bit, usually 1-3 times per
week.
Sadie Reeves
After the first time using it for 30 minutes, I felt like I was 18 again. I was bending over touching my toes and showing my wife that my lower back pain was finally gone. Could it really be true? I promise I'm not a "paid actor" and I never advertised things that don't work, but this mat has saved me. I'm back into the gym and I feel amazing! Seriously Thank you!!!
Jean Koch
This product works, and it doesn't make sense but it has helped me get better sleep from alleviation to my muscles that were somehow targeted by the spikes on the mat. I will definitely keep using it and I'm going to be purchasing another to use while on my trips.
Winifred Ross
This absolutely does the job. 30 minutes on this and I'm feeling zen and relaxed and ready to wind down. I've even passed out on this after a 18 hour day on my feet. The relief was that substantial it just knocked me clean out. I woke up two hours later with all the lights and the TV still on. I don't believe this mat works miracles nor do I believe it replaces acupuncture or a regular doctor visits for chronic conditions. But I do believe this to be an effective solution to moderate aches pains tensions and I use it at least once a week.
Helen Barry
I immediately felt a release of my tensed muscles in my neck, back, and shoulders; it was about half as painful as before laying on the mat. Success!! I decided to use it again a few hours later; for another 15 minutes, and felt even better. I would recommend this to ANYONE with muscular and/or joint pain and inflammation. I am absolutely going to continue using this product every day as a part of my pain reduction regimen.
Esther Kirby
I actually bought this to try after being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia to see if it would help my overall muscular body pain. It gives a whole new sensation to my body when i sit or lay down on it. It hurts and feels like needles poking you but after you lay down on it for a while, it also takes your mind off the muscular pain. It's sort of like fighting your pain with more pain and it seems to help. I don't understand why it helps but I have been using it when needed and I feel better after using it. It' s a totally different sensation.
Hilda Callahan
I sit at my job all day and the mid part of my back gets sore and tight. This helps to relax those
muscles.
Helen Strickland
It wasn't as painful as I anticipated at first and I was able to do on bare skin. Dont get me wrong, it
was uncomfortable at first but it gets better within a couple minutes. It definitely stung a bit getting off of it, and was a little sore after but it was all manageable. Spots fully went away in about 30 minutes.
Doris Estes
I have Fibromyalgia and this seems to do awesome with getting my brain to rewire the pain. Super pumped about the possibilities. Not sure about the neck pillow yet. I have a bit of desensitization because of having pain everywhere, so if others say this hurts I'd believe them, but IMO it's just pokey- like its meant to be lol. If you didn't expect that and docked stars for pain, I don't think that's fair. The point is to make your body 'think', so it's excellent for meditation and mindfulness!! Love this after some yoga, and can lay it on my bed if I feel like it. Very lovely product.
Charlotte Reese
Okay, I will admit it is intimidating looking, and if used carelessly it can hurt, BUT every single person who has tried this (essentially everyone who has been to my house since I bought it) always loves it. Sure, they say ouch at first, but try taking it away from them. This set is SO relaxing. Great for pain relief, and I've also had success using it for digestive issues as well. If you're into holistic or alternative medicine at all then this set is absolutely indispensable.
Amelia Meyer
I feel more calm and relaxed since I have started using this product and my overall pain level has been a bit more manageable. And with constant pain, I will take that as a win! I really hope this continues to work for me and I will definitely purchase again should the need arise.
Hazel Britt
Honestly, at first the mat hurts a bit. Then after about 3-4 minutes the uncomfortable feeling goes away and it settles in. I could have fallen asleep on it. Anyway, I was on the acupressure mat for 20 minutes this morning. When I was done and got off, ALL my lower back pain and mid back tightness was completely gone. I couldn't believe it, as I've never experienced anything like it.
Marie Madden
I suffer from SI Joint Inflammation & Dysfunction and have not found any pain relief from anything until I used this. Granted, I didn't follow instructions as far as how much time to spend on this Matt, but! I laid on here for close to 1 1/2 hours and I had little to no pain the next day, I could lift my leg to put on pants & underwear, and walk 100% better! I've been suffering with pain for 5 years, and for the first time I feel hope.
Susan Poole
This mat, with practice, seems like one of those things that's such a simple, beautiful, natural assistant that everyone should use!
Irma Hyde
This mat is magic. Period. It sounded too good to be true but for once it is not! If you have any aches or pains, BUY THIS. You won't regret it. It comes with a little booklet that shows you many different ways to use it!
Marjorie Key
My husband tried it an experienced something similar. It almost had more of a "craniosacral" affect on him. He relaxed and was seeing colors dance behind his closed eye lids.
I don't know how much this is going to help with muscular pain but the relaxation effect (who doesn't
need that?) makes it a very valuable "tool" for me.
