ProsourceFit Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set for Back/Neck Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation, Large - Black/Aqua

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Love this mat! The pain is minimal and seems to go away after about a minute of laying on it. Can definitely tell a difference after using this.

Love this. I use the foot thing at my desk without socks for a few hours a day and it helps my posture and shoulder pain. I wish the fabric was different though, it's a pet hair magnet.

I watched all these YouTube videos of people trying this out for 30 days and thinking, "Wow, you guys are idiots." But then they'd say they fell asleep on it, and I'm always up for a challenge, so I bought one. Then I preceded to stare at it for 3 weeks because I was really afraid of it. Finally, I tried it, expecting to end up with bloody puncture wounds all over my back, but it took maybe 2 minutes tops to relax into it. Then it was actually very relaxing and I found myself not wanting to get off of it. It makes you feel better, I swear to God. I'm a skeptic, and it really does work.

I bought this mat more for my wife rather than myself. I figured I might try it out, just to see if it would do anything. I used it for 20 minutes the first night laying on my back with my neck on the round part. I usually have trouble sleeping, but I slept really well that night. The next morning I sat in a chair with my feet on the arched piece for 10 minutes and then stood on the mat for 10 minutes. I really feel like it benefited me. That evening I did a repeat of the night before and again I slept better than I have been. My wife .still hasn't used it but I'm loving it. It's takes a couple minutes to get over the uncomfortable part of it, but after that I have hard time not falling asleep on it. 5 stars and more from me.

This thing is AMAZING!

Does not help with pain whatsoever, I’ve used it 5+ times now.. both on the floor on a yoga mat, and on a bed/couch. It’s extremely sharp, so sharp that I’ve scraped my fingers on it just trying to move it around to lay on. The pillow is so hard and bulky, there’s no way to comfortably lay your neck on it. Cheaply made.

Don’t get me wrong, this thing HURTS when you first start using it! But once you get past the pain it’s like my body just melts into the mat.

Okay, I hardly ever write reviews but I wanted to write this one for other people who suffer from back pain. I've had upper back pain since I was a teenager due to being gifted a large chest. So I always got that stinging, achy feeling around my shoulder blades and neck. Fibromyalgia runs in my family, so that on top of just having two Big Ol' Obnoxious Tiddies means it was rare for me not to feel pain. I used ibprofen and muscle relaxers occasionally, but didn't want to rely on them. I actually love accupuncture, but I couldn't afford it all the time. So I decided to finally buy one of these mats. I bought it April 12th 2023, and today is June 12th and honestly, I have hardly been in pain these last couple of months. There are still things that might set off my pain (like sitting hunched over for hours working on a project) but my day to day pain has decreased significantly. I haven't taken muscle relaxers in a couple months, and now I only take ibuprofen rarely. I use this mat 20-25 minutes in the morning, and 20-25 right before bed. I got used to it pretty quickly, and use it without a shirt on. It doesn't hurt in the way you think it would. It's more like a sunburn, but not as painful. You would think the last thing you would want to do if you have pain, is lay on a spike mat, but it works. I call it my torture device (in a loving way). It's worth the $30 dollars to try it out and see if it works for you because it made all the difference for me.
