Holy Accupressure, Batman! - Shannon S. Ash "Shan on Jul 29, 2011

Saw a similar (but much more expensive) version of this on Dr. Oz show. I have chronic low back pain, and thought I would try it. I read the reviews - so I thought I was ready for it! I first couldn't wait and used it when I had a thin T-shirt on. I used it for about 15 minutes before someone interrupted me. I tried it again that night, this time without the tshirt and just on the floor. Wow. I think I lasted about 3 or so minutes before it was too intense. I put a thin shirt on, but it dulled the sensations too much. Tried a thin pillowcase - again, way too much sensation-dulling. So I tried it (shirt off) on my Tempurpedic mattress. Now that was the level of stimulation I could handle. So in a few minutes, the "sensation" went from very intense to spread out and bearable in intensity. I used it for about 20ish minutes, and came away feeling very relaxed, even though my kids thought my back with all of it's accupressure "dents" they found "Disgusting". (Thank you sweet children.) I made my husband try it...he found it too intense on the floor too - but has used it several times on the mattress with success. The first time he tried it, he kept saying initially "how can anyone find this relaxing?" and I told him the reviewers said they did, but we'd just have to see. About 15 minutes in, I heard snoring...and it wasn't me. The big lug had fallen asleep on it!! When he woke up (in about 5 more minutes) the first thing he said was "Oh darn, did I fall asleep on it??". I just laughed. It does relax me. Since I've been using it, my back pain is less, but my disclaimer is that in the same time I've started doing yoga, and some serious core muscle training as well, so I can't subscribe the back pain reduction only to this. But overall, it's worth using. we try to use it once a day.

Anxiety, Stress And Tension Help - Luisnoe on Jul 27, 2011

I am in sales and there are days when I think that my head will blow off from all the stress. The Heavenly Acuppresure Mat has been a life saver. The technology of this mat is based on the "Bed of Nails" acuppresure therapy technique where many points on your back and neck are stimulated to achieve pain relief, tension relief and relaxation. This acuppresure technique is centuries old and has been proven to provide relief for stress and pain that cannot even be controlled by strong medication. I take no medicines for anxiety and I do not need to as this mat provides the treatment that I need when I am feeling that my life and job are getting totally out of my control. The mat is uncomfortable at first and take a period of acclimatization (in my case it was about 4 days), so at the beginning lay on the mat for no more than 3-5 minutes if it is too painful. Gradually as you build up to 10-15 minutes and more your will feel more and more relaxed when you are finished. I have been using the mat for over 2 months and now, at times, I even fall asleep on the mat as it can make me THAT relaxed. If you are popping pills for anxiety or just living with your stress, stop. Get this mat and try it. I guarantee that you will not be dissappointed.

Heavenly Mat Is A "God-Send" - Meow Meow Kitty on Jul 24, 2011

Not to pun, but the Heavenly Acupressure Mat is a God-send. To honest, in the beginning, I was suspicious and skeptical about the medical promises and benefits, but I am so thankful for this product. For years I have suffered from severe chronic back and neck pain sustained in a vehicle accident. Numerous doctors, massages, rehabs, medications, exercises were recommended to alleviate my shooting pain but all failed. Nobody wants to be doomed to a life of medication and uncertainty when pain is involved, and nobody wants to chance invasive and dangerous surgery. Not to mention the extreme costs involved. Then I found this product, and it literally changed my life. Being natural and noninvasive, while using your own body's chemicals you can cure your pain and change your life. Relieving tension and providing relaxation, I can feel normal and sleep without pain. The price is also wonderful being considerably less than one doctor's visit! 5 stars in all areas!!

It Is Really Heavenly... - Abbey on Jul 23, 2011

This mat is one of the best thing I have ever spent my money on literally! Just like the name says it is indeed heavenly. It is totally a must have if you want stress and insomnia relief. Since I started using this mat, I hardly have any headaches and it also helps me increase my blood circulation. I highly recommend that you buy it, use it and it would make you feel great after a very stressful day. Heavenly Acupressure mat is too beneficial to pass up.

Help For Insomnia - Chip on Jul 23, 2011

I am an insomniac. My mother said that I did not sleep well when I was a child and this has continued through my teenage years and into my adulthood. For a while I slept better if I worked out for several hours after dinner then that stopped working. During the spring I saw this mat at the physical therapist office where my mom was going for therapy after her stroke and it looked weird so I asked the therapist about it. She said that it was used for back pain, chronic pain, relaxation and insomnia. I asked her if she thought it helped and she said that for some people it was the only thing that helped. I bought one that afternoon and tried to sleep on it that night and I thought that I was going to crawl out of my skin. I got up and started reading more about it on the internet and I figured out that at first you layed on it for a few minutes and that you gradually built up the time that you spent on it. After about 2 weeks I was falling asleep while on the mat. Today what I do is roll up a towel and put the towel under my neck with part of the mat over the towel and the rest of the mat under my shoulders. This causes enough relaxation for me to fall asleep and it is not uncomfortable if I roll over so that I stay asleep through the night, If you have problems sleeping, give this mat a try. I now know how it feels to be well rested.

Perfect For You Back Pains! - Aubrey on Jul 24, 2011

Heavenly Acupressure Mat is super duper great! It has easily become my best friend that I can't do without. After using it I have also noticed that I no longer have lower back pains. Sometimes I would also lay my face down on it if I have a migraine or head aches and it gives me such great pain relief. I bought the mat a few days ago and can't stop using ever since. It's amazing how just a few minutes on it can take the day's stress off your back! I highly recommend it to anyone that needs pain or stress relief. It is also just perfect for relaxation!

Relief At Last - Heather on Jul 23, 2011

My best friend has suffered from uncontrollable back pain for over 17 years. She used to be the most active person in the room but her back pain has made her act like a 90 year old. An auto accident left her with three ruptured discs in her lower back and she is unable to have surgery because she is on medicine for a familial blood disorder. She has tried everything from narcotics to hypnosis and nothing has relieved her pain. I bought her this mat 6 weeks ago because my mom used it for her arthritis pain and she told me that it really helped her. I have my old friend back!! My friend's pain is now what she describes as a 3 on a scale of 1-10 where 10 is the most severe pain. She told me that she normally stays at a level of about 6 and that even when she takes Percocet, (which she hates because she says it makes her act like a zomby), she rarely gets to a level of three. If you have someone you know with pain, buy them this mat. They will thank you forever.

Less Expensive Then Acupuncture, But Relieves Pain And Relieves Tension Like Acupuncture - Cameron Dill on Jul 22, 2011

I suffered from lower back pain that came on suddenly a few months ago. In addition, I had broken a foot 4 years ago. Today I am pain free from both ailments thanks to using the Heavenly Acupressure Mat.

I realized the benefits of the Heavenly Acupressure Mat 15 - 20 minutes after using it for the first time. It was the best tantalizing sensation throughout my body I have ever felt. It was relaxing and it warmed the tense areas of my body. Over a short period of time, my back pain was relieved, but the best part of my healing was that I no longer had to adjust my ankle joint to feel comfortable. Before knowing about the Heavenly Acupressure Mat, I used to have to frequently message and snap my ankle joint into place; otherwise, the nerve pain wwould travel up my leg.

I continue to use my mat because it is relaxing and rejuvenating to my entire body. Therefore, I am proud to say that I am now pain free in both areas. Most of all, I remain revitalized and can carry a smile more often. People can now see and relate to me as the person I truly am, and that feels good.

So, thanks to the Heavenly Acupressure Mat, this is the best pain relief I have ever had.

Wonder Mat Does Wonders - Charles Kissee "Pers on Jul 20, 2011

This mat is amazing. Since using it my back pain has disappeared. I use it daily, for 20-30 minutes. It seems to help me relax over all and relax the muscles of my back. I highly recommend it.

Helps Me Sleep - L. Bullock "doctor b on Sep 29, 2011

I have had trouble sleeping for the past year- I would wake up 4-5 times throughout the night. After using the acupressure mat, I now have a sound sleep and may wake up just once during the night.

Great For Relaxing - CB Burton on Jul 27, 2011

I am in sales as is my husband and we use this mat daily for relaxing after work. Some people drink a gin and tonic, some people jog for 5 miles we do Heavenly Mat. We used to only have one (we are cheap) but we were constantly wanting to lay on it at exactly the same time (6 pm). Last month he bought me my very own Heavenly Mat for my birthday and there is peace in our household once again. So many people have asked us about the Mat that we are beginning to sound like a walking commercial for the Heavenly company. I do not know how this mat compares to the others as this was the cheapest one around when we bought it and we have not had a need to look anywhere else. This mat definately does the trick and there is no need to look any further. Buy it.

Awesome Mat! - Stephan Krasner "Use on Jul 22, 2011

I bought this mat about a year ago and it has been an absolute wonder for day naps on the couch in my office. When I use this mat I wake up feeling ready to start the second half of my day.

Last week my wife bought me a brand new one for my birthday! I was so happy. When I was about to throw away the old one my wife grabbed it and said that she needed it for something. It turns out that some of her friends were using them as a mat in the gym. I have to wonder whether she really got a new one JUST for me...

If your looking for a little extra comfort at night, or in the gym, this is a great bet!

Love It! - MSharpe on Jul 21, 2011

I was so pleasantly surprised at how wonderful this mat is! I don't what I did before this thing arrived but I'm glad I have it now. It's perfect for relieving stress and anxiety. I've also noticed an increases in my focus and concentration overall. Highly recommended!

No More Aches - A Hainz on Jul 21, 2011

I have suffered with severe neck and back pain for years. I purchased the Heavenly mat being a little skeptical at first, but it was cheaper than a massage. After a couple uses, I no longer have severe neck and back pain. I also sleep better at night and overall more relaxed. I have had friends come over and they saw it. They laughed at me until I let them try it. Since then, a couple of them have bought one and use it all the time too!

Heavenly Acupressure Mat - Blue - daniella on Aug 19, 2011

Being a mother of two, you surely have no time for yourself but few minutes here and there. What i love about the Heavenly Acupressure mat is that it is light enough to take with you everywhere; you only need few minutes on it and you feel so rejuvenated and energized that it helps you keep going with your day. I have been using it for the past year and have recommended it to all my friends and family. In fact it has been the perfect birthday gift. My friend and sister loved it. Heavenly Acupressure Mat - Blue

Pain Relief... - Bill Z on Aug 17, 2011

I have been suffering back pain for some time now with bulging disc's etc... Missed a whole month of work last summer due to pain. Not a fan of pain meds. I was a bit skeptical of this product when I had first ordered. My mat arrived very fast. And that night I gave it a try. At first it felt a bit uncomfortable for the first 2 minutes or so but I hung in there after reading other reviews. Gave it a try for almost 10 minutes. When I stood up my back pain was gone. Now I will say that the next morning I did have back pain. However it did relieve the pain after using this product. It is not a magic healing device. It is something used to relieve pain and it did. I believe if you incorporate this into your daily routine you will have positive results with your pain management. For the price, you cannot beat this product. Also felt refreshed after using as well. I have told friends about this product. I also used this mat on my hips as I do mountain bike around 100 miles a week. Remember it will feel uncomfortable at first but stay with it you will be quite surprised. Definitely something worth trying if you suffer from back pain.

Love It! - Elsie on Jun 25, 2011

I love this mat!
I was pretty skeptical that it would help at all, but it did.
I am willing to admit that it might be a placeo, but I do not care.
It seems to help me relax over all and relax the muscles of my neck so my neck hurts less after.
I have fallen asleep on it more than once.

Back Relief - Love Reading "Love R on Jun 7, 2011

Does work; when you can't get to the massage therapist, it's good for making back muscles relax. It's a little long for me, so I have to turn the top edge down a little to make a smoother edge for my neck.

I Like It! - Nicole C. on Jun 7, 2011

I bought this mat because I'm pregnant and my feet often hurt. I put it under my desk at work, slip my shoes off and put my feet on it. I really do like it. I bought it on sale, and I would recommend you wait until you got a deal on it because I wouldn't pay $45 for it. But I'm glad I have it because it's refreshing.

GREAT -- Buy This!! - gailygail on Dec 9, 2011

i got this for my boyfriend who has degenerative disk disease in his lower back, and NOTHING was working to ease his pain. i was looking online for something that might help that was more holistic. i came across this acupressure mat, and i did loads of research on it before purchasing it. i watched videos and read articles, and this product seemed to work for everyone else! so i found a GREAT deal on amazon -- usually they're $40, and i found it for $29 on amazon -- and bought it. he LOVES it, he uses it every night before he goes to bed, and though he was wary at first because it really is sharp, he found that it takes any pressure off his back and lets his muscles rest, easing the pain significantly. this is a really great product and i REALLY recommend it! i've tried it, and have stress knots in my back which were whisked away by this lovely mat. please consider buying this for yourself or a loved one!

It Really Does Seem To Make A Difference! - CarolD on Oct 4, 2011

I looked into the mat because I saw Dr Oz's recommendation ... just curious. The more I read about it, the more curious I got, so I bought one. Liked it from the first time! I always wear light-weight t-shirt and slacks (or pjs). Once accidentally put my weight on my elbow directly on the mat and it hurt! As illogical as it seems I believe it's making a difference in my sleep. And, yes, I do actually fall asleep on it and then wake up a couple of hours later, slide it out from under me and go back to sleep. And, better sleep makes me have a better attitude, more energy, etc.

It's Not Acupuncture, But I Like It. - Michellefire on Sep 10, 2011

I could not seem to get the benefits with a t-shirt on, so I used a thin potato sack towel I got at Walmart and put this over it. Perfect fit, and lint-free. Then, I have to lay on it nude. You have to be creative with pillows and harder surfaces but it does do the trick in-between acupuncture treatments for pain disorders. I have fallen asleep on it with no adverse effects.

Nice Modern Bed Of Nails! - taichicowboy on Jul 24, 2011

at first i was a little skeptical about this spiky little beds of nails. but after a few moments on it i found myself deeply enjoying the stimulation. i like how it encourages more blood flow to my back and invigorates my whole nervous system. my only problem is remembering to lay down on it more often!

I'm A Believer And I Am Amazed At How Good I Feel. - KRISTOPHER WAGNER on Jan 5, 2012

I'm a complete insomniac and carry a ton of stress in my back, neck and shoulders... I saw this on the Today show a few weeks ago and figured with as much money as I waste on crap what's another 27 bucks. Last night I used this for the first time before I went to bed and all I can say is WoW. The pain I was in from PT just vanished and I truly slept better than if I took an Ambien or Xxannx. Anyone who knows me knows I'm very open to suggestion but there is some weird chemical release that happens with the body using this contraption. Waste 30 bucks and give it a try. A bit of backgroup, I have major trigger points and had brain surgery back in 2010. My back has never fully recovered and I put alot of weight on after sugery. This morning I feel amazing, refeshed and my pain went from a 8 to a 2 (scale of 1 to 10). I'm a believer, I'm not sure if everyone will have the same results but it's worth a shot.

Harmful But Helpful :) - Nino on Dec 24, 2011

Good product after you get used to lying on it, it's really sharp. Also the sizing is not the best, I have to change position at least three times before it covers all my body parts

It Does Work And Isnt Really Painful At All - D. MCKICHAN on Dec 14, 2011

After looking at the numerous similar mats offered on Amazon, I went with the Heavenly one in blue. The reasons I went with a mat at all are threefold. One - I do get a sore back so I am always looking for remedies. Two - I was going to get one as a gift for someone else and wanted to be able to actually give them my recommendation of it. Three - I was a bit leary of all the overwhelming postive reviews of all the different mats on Amazon and wanted to truely see if they were accurate or not, thinking that it really cannot be that good.

The mat itself is seemingly well constructed and comes in a nicely designed box. The mat has an approx 1/2" foam insert surround by a pillow case feeling material the disks are mounted on. You can remove the outer shell for cleaning. The plastic disks with their multiple small spiked pryramids sticking up are a bit daunting when you first run your hand over them. However when I tried it out for the first time (wearing a t-shirt and thinking it would hurt like heck) I literally felt nothing. Thinking it was the fact I was on a mattress, I moved to the floor, but still nothing. So off came the t-shirt. The sensation was still very little and what spikes I could feel felt a bit like someone scratching your back too hard. Now I am 6'3" 210 so I know my torso was applying plenty of downward pressure on the mat. My wife felt the same way when she tried it with a t-shirt on first, just no feeling and went to bare skin right away as well. I have a 5 and 7 year old who will lay on it (because it looks neat) and will do so wearing a light t-shirt and have no problems either.

With-in a minute of laying on the mat, I felt a warm sensation come over my back. (The kids also mention their backs feeling warm when they are on it). It actually does feel quite pleasant and as long as you don't move much to have the spikes scratch you I can seee how people could fall asleep on it as you cannot feel the spikes when still. What seems to be happening is that blood is being drawn to the area hence the warming. Get off up the mat and look in the mirror and the whole back is red. This feeling of warm (and red back) lasts anywhere from 10-20 minutes for me after getting up off the mat. I have found that even 5 minutes on the mat to get the process going is enough to warm the back for at least 10 minutes. It is slightly uncomfortable when you get off the mat and the spikes withdraw from your skin, but again nothing too bad.

Whether this will aleviate anything deep in the muscle or back itself, I don't know. But from a superficial standpoint it appears to get blood into the area, create warmth, and likely (similar to warming a muscle through activity) loosen tight muscles through the process. The only thing I am a bit curious about now is how it will do in the wash when that time comes.

Not For The Faint Of Heart - P. S. McCreary "book on Oct 13, 2011

The first time I used it, I felt tortured. The payoff was a great nights sleep. The day after I tried again but was too sensitive to use it. I would say try it once a week to start and work up to more. I also bought a matching pillow. It seems to work better for me with it.

Excelent - Miel de Abejas "Miel on Sep 29, 2011

This is excelent it help you with blood circulation. I love it it makes me so relax. I use every day. I would like my entrely bed like this mat.

Heavenly - Dina Krunic on Aug 30, 2011

i can honesty say that this is the best acupressure mat that I have ever used, relaxing and inspiring. Orange color is a plus.

Muscle Relaxation And Stress Reliever - marcdipling on Aug 24, 2011

I have been using this mat for a couple of weeks now every evening and I am very impressed. It works great for me, not only to help relax my back and neck muscles but as a real 'feel-good' device / great stress reliever.

Easy Self-pampering - Elizabeth Perry on Jul 25, 2011

I've been loving our Heavenly Acupressure Mat, just lying on it while listening to music or doing simple meditations. The firmness of the little fingers that stimulate the user is ideal, not uncomfortable and not too soft to do anything. I'd easily recommend picking one of these up-- it's certainly worth this price.

Mat With Wonders!!!! - ShidaSasha on Jul 22, 2011

Works wonders.....really helps with relaxing and easing the tension in your muscles. Would definitely recommend this product to others. For a third of the cost to help yourself get back on track and feel a bit more relaxed.

Heavenly Pain Relief!!! - enso arts ""no b on Jul 21, 2011

I have chronic back pain and stress, my girlfriend suffers from frequent headaches and poor circulation - The Heavenly Mat has helped all of this, so much so that we had to get more. Now we can both use it at the same time or line them up for a whole body session. We also had to get some for family and friends. I truly believe in this product and think it can help with many issues.
Biggest advice is to work your way into it. Start with clothing on for a few minutes and work your way up to direct contact...and stick with it. I now blissfully fall asleep on the mat. I consistently experience less pain and feel more energized after using this mat. I simply can't say more, it works!

Didn't Think It Would Do Much...until I Tried It - Mikeeh on Jul 21, 2011

I felt a little weird using the mat initially. Acupressure stuff is kind of new to me and I always felt like it was a bit of new age-y nonsense. But after trying it for a while you feel a warm glow where the spikes touch the skin and when I stayed with the vibe, there's an overall relaxing feeling. I use it often now.

Heavenly Acupressure Mat - Roxie on Jul 21, 2011

Heavenly Acupressure Mat has saved my sanity! I was suffering from insomnia until I discovered this wonderful product. A friend recommended Heavenly Mat for stress but I started using it for fatigue and it ended up helping with my insomnia. I lay on it for 30mins before bed or stand on it for 15mins after a long day! Absolutely love it!

Looks Crazy, Feels Great! - Akuru "Akuru" on Jul 21, 2011

The idea of a bunch of little needles in my back did not sound like a relaxing solution to a long day at the office behind the computer. Or to my overall sense of anxiety.

But it TOTALLY IS!

About 6 months ago, I got the light green color mat (not that color matters) It has become a mainstay of my after work routine. After a long day I will invariably find myself taking a few minutes to lie down and breath. And trust me, it only takes a few minutes to discover that you can be more relaxed on the Heavenly mat.

I tried some of the other brands, but the Heavenly version is the one that I like best, especially since it's pretty easy to travel with and totally lightweight.

Get one!

Better Than All The Rest - Teresa Mustelier on Jul 21, 2011

I purchased four different Shakti mats in January of this year after the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine published a study that reported that Shakti-mats improved relaxation. You can read the study here: [ ... ]
Of the four different brands that I purchased, this is the brand that my patients reported provided the most relief for their back pain, fibromyalgia pain and stress. This mat is made of high quality material and the accupressure points are positioned perfectly. I highly recomend this products for patients with pain, massage therapist who would like an alternative form of treament, Physical Therapist and pain management centers.

Cured My Insomnia! I HEART HEAVENLY MATS! - Carlos Apachee "Carl on Jul 20, 2011

I suffer from chronic insomnia and believe me when I tell you that the thought of laying on a bed of nails sounded less than appealing but after using this product for over 4 months now I can honestly say my insomnia has melted away! I was once skeptical but now I am a true believer! I HEART HEAVANLY MATS!

Better Than The Others! Best Mat For Your Money! - Don Miguel Ruiz on Jul 20, 2011

I've tried all the other mats. I ended up buying this for my girlfriend and her chronic neck pain went away in about 2 sessions. I love this thing! Amazing!

Wonder Mat - yazzy "hiker" on Jun 26, 2011

This mat is a wonder. Since using it my back pain has all but disappeared. I use it daily, for 30-40 minutes and feel totaly relaxed. Would reccomend it highly.

Heaven Or Hell? - Linda June on Jun 24, 2011

The first time I used the Heavenly Accupressure Mat, I thought it was the mat from Hell instead, at least for the first few minutes. I had read the instructions and it said to breathe through the pain. Well I did, and the feeling that comes over you after that is pure bliss. Now, the initial discomfort has lessened and I am really enjoying the product.

Relief From Pain At Last - T. Hartman on Aug 24, 2011

I'd just about given up on getting my upper back muscles to relax. Nothing seemed to work - stretching, massage, heat therapy, gels, creams, patches, whatever. I've only had my mat for 5 days, and I can already feel a difference after using it every night. The muscles are much looser in the morning, and don't tighten up as much during the day. I'm hopeful for the future if it keeps progressing like this. Best money I've ever spent!

Incredible Value - Osyn on Jul 21, 2011

This is one of the most budget-friendly acupressure mats on the market, and I absolutely love it. It looks great in my room (to the point that people who don't know about what the mat does assume that it's a designer carpet) and also feels great. I have been having the worst insomnia, and this mat actually did help cure it. It's a great buy.

Helps With A Stiff Neck - John Krehnovi on Jan 21, 2012

This product is good quality. It did surprise me how much it hurt the first time so I had to use it on the couch. I did acclimate to the mat within a few minutes.

One time, I had a stiff neck and decided to place the mat over a small pillow so i could do acupressure on my neck. I got up and was able to move my neck so much better after 15 minutes of acupressure. It definitely helped for the rest of the night. I enjoy using this from time to time but I don't expect much more from it other than just relaxing and warming my body and improving circulation. Maybe more is happening but I do it just for the enjoyment.

Relax And Unwind - D. Billings on Jan 16, 2012

I am pleasantly surprised at the relaxation i experience when i lie on the mat.
i have back pain and it is noticeably reduced after about 15 minutes of lying on the mat. i am going to try falling asleep on it to see if i experience any increased relief.

Mat Blue - bob "bob" on Jan 15, 2012

I gave this product only 2 stars because i have not used it long enough I would recomend anyone who has just bouhgt tihs product to wear some sort of tee shirt protection when you first use it because the spikes are sharp and pointy like nails.

Better Back - Beverly "Beverly's o on Jan 12, 2012

This was great once I figured how to use it. It'bit' my husband, but you know how that goes. Terrific gift since I travel a lot and sit too much.

Pleasing Pain! - Pena Colada on Jan 10, 2012

This product I would describe like those Icy/Hot packs you put on for aches & pains. It feels uncomfortable & may hurt a little but then you feel soo good after your body adjusts. I use it around a bolster pillow for tension in my neck & it feels awesome, I'm sure it could relieve a headache! I also used biofreeze on my lower back then jumped on the mat & it totally relieved my menstrual cramps, I couldnt believe it!

Love This! - Julianne M. Bates "G on Jan 8, 2012

I have mild to moderate back problems and this mat has allowed me to put the naproxan away. It really works-almost too well. Once I lay on it (with bare skin) I don't want to get back up. It's very relaxing!

Works Like Magic - M. Robbins on Jan 7, 2012

I've been having shoulder and neck pain for months now, so ordered this to see if I could get some relief. I use it w/o shirt on for about 15 to 20 minutes, most often with a towel rolled up under my neck to get pressure there, and it really helps get the blood flowing and eases the pain.
I wish it had a little loop or two for hanging on the back of a door, but I can rig something up. Even my DH and DD love to use if for sore backs and to relieve stress. I thought for awhile we would need to get another so that we wouldn't fight over one!

Be careful when you lie down on it, you don't want to wiggle about too much. You soon find the best way to adjust your position so that you don't get scraped up. Make sure the dog doesn't jump on you, and that your hubby doesn't step on your toes when you are standing on the mat. (ask me how I know).

I do find I can't stand on it barefoot, but need a light pair of socks.

All in all, excellent purchase, really made a big difference for me.
