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

Multiple choices for massage options, 30 minute nonstop or less if you stop. Heat from heat to toe if you are short enough. 5’2” and I fit the full length. Use on floor, bed or in a chair. I have only used on floor and slept during those 30 minutes. I find it extremely helpful, relaxing especially for sciatic nerve pain, strained muscles, fibromyalgia and the heat is great. I have lent it out to several others and they have bought their own. Very easy to use, no smells, good quality product, easy to clean , for taller people a longer version might be good.

Update March 2020: My love of Spikeo (affectionate name for this inanimate object) is known through all my friends, and over time many have tried it. At least 4 of my friends who have tried mine ending up buying one. Even people who think it looks terrifying have found it remarkably soothing. One thing: About a year into my relationship with Spikeo I bought another one to live at my parent’s house for when I have longer visits over the holidays. The new one was SO sharp — turns out that with daily use, the spikes get slightly dull over time. Eventually I felt like my original wasn’t packing the same punch, so bought a new one for myself about 18 months after the original purchase. My new one is gray, which is actually quite pretty and a little less garish. I would advise everyone to get new spikes every couple years or so if you want that signature OUCH with your pain relief.Original review:I have fibromyalgia and have spent hundreds of dollars on various pain remedies throughout the years. Most things haven't really helped, including physical therapy -- the only thing that would provide relief was Tylenol and scalding hot showers. This mat appears to be invented by a sadist and it definitely HURTS, but with regular use my pain has become much, much better. It also helps relieve pain when it happens, but I've found it to be more useful in reducing pain generally rather than addressing a particular pain spot.My best evidence of its effectiveness is that I get extremely thirsty after massages and the same thing happens when I lie on the mat for 20-40 minutes. I don't know what the thirst means (a quick Google says something about the lymphatic system?) but I take it as a sign that this mat actually does something for my knotted-up muscles.I love the mat so much that I made the following meme. I hope it helps in your decision on whether to purchase this.

I love that this works. It's sharp and it hurts at first but once you are laid fully on it, it is AMAZING! I can feel my blood circulating throughout my body and I feel so good afterwards. I fall asleep on it but I feel great when I wake up. The pillow is the BEST!! I feel energized in the days after using it. I love to stand on it because it relieves so much pressure from my feet, although it is agonizing at first but once passed, you'll love the feeling.My 76yo mom had siatica on the back of her leg, laid on it for 30min - 1 hr and the next day it was gone. She used it again and was able to withstand for 1.5hrs.

takes a minute to get used to, but once you settle in, it really helps release tension and ease sore muscles. For the price, it’s an incredible value and feels like a mini at-home spa session—I’d definitely recommend it for anyone needing some extra stress relief.

this is one of those reviews I can't blame it all on amazon. it clearly sates acupuncture, but I was thinking the pressure spikes would be more rubber like. this is not the case. they are sharp hard and plastic. I am a tatted up truck driver so my tolerance is pretty high, but this was too much for me. so unless your a member of the adams family and sleep on a bed of nails than I wouldn't recommend it. was going to return it it but when I said I bought it by mistake they wanted to charge almost half of what it cost to buy just to ship it back so. I'm just gonna eat it.

For a couple days due to my herniated bulging disc (in my L4,L5 and S1) it took me almost an hour just to stand up in the morning. Standing up straight after that and taking a step was even more excruciating. I was worried I was going to have to get my nerve burning done again. But it was around the holiday season and I knew I wouldn't be able to get in anytime soon. So being able to not function I decided to look for remedies on here. I ran across this magical mat... And seeing so many people with the same problems I was having I was at a point I didn't care I figured it can't hurt to try! Especially because I could barely sleep because I couldn't get comfortable, walking and moving was excruciating. I was in so much pain I was just crying I couldn't take it anymore.When the mat showed up I couldn't wait to try it!I will say I was in quite a shock trying it out the first time... The pain was tolerable but it was definitely there for the first minute but I toughened through it because I figured it's better than dealing with pain all day long! After breathing and relaxing and not moving so that my body was settled. I started getting this really warm feeling all over my back. Felt amazing! It was uncomfortable to lay on but not unbearable. About 10 minutes in I honestly started to doze off! I hadn't been able to rest in days and somehow this created such a release that I fell asleep for the next 30 minutes feeling no pain(I made sure to set a timer for 45 minutes prior to laying down on the match so I didn't go over the suggested time).Getting off the first time without putting more pressure on one area was not very easy but the more I used it the easier it got and I figured out a method. I found that laying down where my back is pretty much on the mat at the same time instead of focused on one area I do a crab walk on my elbows till I'm above the mat and then slowly lower my body.The next morning though I couldn't believe it it took me maybe a minute to get out of bed it was like I was a brand new person! I really honestly did not think it was going to do that much to turn it around because nothing in the past has ever helped!I'm so glad for all the great reviews people left and I will say that I recommend this mat to anyone and everyone I can because it is a total game changer I use it everyday and have not had pain since that day! And especially for the price you can't go wrong!I used it on the floor and usually put a towel underneath my head since I'm not so fond of the neck piece I usually put that underneath my feet which feels wonderful! And I will definitely say that you're not going to get the full effects unless you lay on the mat bare-skinned.If you have back pain or knots.. or just need a good way to de-stress...this is it!!!Seriously magic!!!!!!!
