Why This Acupressure Mat Works for Modern Life
Modern life creates constant physical stress throughout your body. Hours hunched over keyboards at work. Phone screens tilting your neck forward during commutes. Daily tension accumulating in your back, shoulders, and neck without relief.
This acupressure mat and pillow set addresses these problems through targeted pressure point stimulation used in traditional wellness practices.
When you lie on the mat’s 8,000 spikes, they press into your skin without piercing it – triggering three powerful natural responses:
Increased Blood Flow
Pressure points stimulate circulation to affected areas, delivering fresh oxygen whilst flushing away buildup that causes stiffness.
Natural Pain Relief
The sensation triggers your body to release endorphins – your body’s own pain-relieving chemicals that create feelings of relaxation and wellbeing.
Muscle Tension Release
Sustained pressure on tight areas helps locked muscles finally let go, reducing knots and chronic tension patterns you’ve carried for weeks or months.
Complete Body Treatment in One Set
Full-Size Body Mat for Back Relief
The main acupressure mat targets your entire back – from shoulders to lower spine. Perfect for addressing common problems:
- Lower back pain and stiffness from sitting
- Upper back tension from desk work
- Sciatica discomfort
- General muscle soreness
- Full-body stress relief
Lie on the mat for 20–30 minutes whilst reading, listening to music, or practising breathing exercises. The initial prickling sensation transforms into soothing warmth as your body relaxes into the experience.
Contoured Neck Pillow for Upper Body Tension
The included neck pillow specifically targets neck and shoulder tension that builds up daily. The curved design supports your neck’s natural shape whilst pressure points work on common problem areas:
- Tech neck and forward head posture
- Tension headaches from stress
- Stiff neck from poor sleep positions
- Shoulder blade tightness
- Base-of-skull muscle tension
Position the pillow under your neck for 15–20 minutes to release accumulated tension and improve neck mobility naturally.
Foot Reflexology Platform
Your spike mat doubles as a foot reflexology tool for tired feet. Stand on the mat (with or without socks depending on your sensitivity) for 2–3 minutes to:
- Stimulate nerve endings throughout your feet
- Relieve tired, aching feet after long days
- Boost energy levels naturally
- Support overall body wellness through foot reflex points
What Regular Use Does for Your Wellbeing
Relieves Chronic Back Discomfort
The acupressure mat for back pain works by increasing blood flow to affected areas whilst triggering natural pain relief responses. Many users report noticeable reduction in chronic lower back discomfort after 2–3 weeks of daily 20-minute sessions.
The pressure points target the same meridian lines used in traditional acupressure therapy – without needles, appointments, or ongoing costs eating into your budget.
Improves Sleep Quality Naturally
Using your acupressure mat for sleep for 20 minutes before bed helps lower stress hormone levels whilst increasing relaxation throughout your body. The combination of physical tension release and natural endorphin production prepares your nervous system for deeper, more restorative sleep.
Many UK users incorporate this into their bedtime routine, reporting faster sleep onset and fewer middle-of-night wakings that leave them tired.
Reduces Daily Stress and Anxiety
The stress relief mat creates a meditative focal point through the unique sensation of lying on thousands of pressure points. Combined with the natural relaxation response this triggers, it helps interrupt stress and anxiety cycles that build throughout your day.
Regular use supports overall mental wellbeing by providing a dedicated 20–30 minute daily relaxation practice you actually look forward to.
How to Use Acupressure Mat Safely and Effectively
First-Time Users (Days 1–5)
Setup: Place mat on your bed or sofa (soft surface reduces intensity for beginners)
Clothing: Wear a thin t-shirt to reduce sensation whilst adjusting
Duration: Start with 10–15 minutes maximum
Position: Lower yourself slowly onto the mat rather than dropping down
The first 2–3 minutes feel intensely prickly as blood rushes to the area. This sensation quickly transforms into warmth. Focus on slow, deep breathing to help your muscles relax into the spikes naturally.
Regular Users (Week 2 Onwards)
Setup: Use mat on floor with yoga mat or rug underneath
Clothing: Bare skin (or very thin fabric) for maximum benefit
Duration: 20–30 minutes per session
Frequency: Daily use delivers best results
Position the mat under your back and the pillow under your neck. Many people use this time to listen to podcasts, practice meditation, or simply rest after demanding days.
Advanced Applications
- Foot reflexology: Stand on mat for 2–3 minutes (start with socks if sensation feels too intense initially)
- Targeted relief: Place mat against specific areas like shoulders, thighs, or calves
- Pre-workout: Brief 5-minute session to stimulate circulation before exercise

Common Questions Answered
The first few minutes create intense prickling as blood rushes to the area. This quickly transforms into warmth and relaxation. Starting with clothing helps new users adjust comfortably to the sensation.
Many people feel immediate relaxation after their first use. For chronic pain relief, most users report noticeable improvement within 2–3 weeks of daily 20-minute sessions.
Use for 20–30 minutes before sleep, then remove the mat. It's designed for targeted sessions rather than overnight use.
Yes – the spikes don't pierce skin at all. Those with very sensitive skin should start with clothing and shorter sessions, gradually building tolerance over a week.
The contoured shape supports your neck's natural curve whilst spikes press into muscles at the skull base – a common area for tension headaches and stiffness.
Absolutely. Stand on the acupressure mat for foot reflexology treatment. Start with socks if the sensation feels too intense initially.
Start with 10–15 minutes on a soft surface wearing light clothing. After 3–5 days, progress to 20–30 minutes daily on a firmer surface with bare skin. Position the mat under your back and pillow under your neck, then relax completely whilst breathing deeply.

Jac R. –
After reading the reviews I thought I’d give it a go. I have constant back pain and at night suffer from restless legs so if anything can help then I’m willing to try it.At first when you lie on it it is a little uncomfortable but I got used to it very quickly. I wasn’t sure that this would work to get rid of my pain but omg it does!!! Within minutes my back pain had gone and same for my restless legs it’s amazing! I use it in bed and yes I have fallen asleep on it many times but I really only need about 20 mins on it to be pain free for the night. I can highly recommend this Thanks
Sarah Stewart –
Works well and decent quality for the price of it. Used a few times now and I do like it.
rebecca walker –
Really quick delivery (new years eve) I read the reviews on here & many commented on the quality. For the price it is good! yes there is a thin foam insert but it’s not a matress & you’re not sleeping on it for 8 hrs a night! I’ve used mine every night for a week up to now before bed. I get terrible tension in my neck & shoulders & wake many times a night. Since using it I have had much better nights sleep. I use mine without a top, I think its down to the individual of how sensitive you are to how sharp it is? My friend tried it & found it sharp whereas I like it. Overall I’m really happy with this mat.
Neil Newman –
This is pretty much the same product as the more expensive ones going around the internet for a fraction of the price. If you are considering trying one then just get this one 🙂
Deborah –
I have suffered with my lower back since my late teens after a fall, then 4 years ago I slipped on ice. I got this mat after reading reviews and wondering if it could help. The first time it wasn’t painful it was more of an annoying itchy feeling but like everyone said stick with it. Yesterday my 3rd try I actually fell asleep on it and for a few hours after felt amazing and very little pain, slept like a log last night.
Chris Ho –
I’m not sure if it’s a placebo or it actually works or a mixture of the two but having spent 30 minutes laying on it on the floor before bed I certainly left my back was hurting less. Yes it’s just a bit of foam and fabric with sharp plastic barbs on it but if it works I have no problem with that.
goodmaz –
Easy to use, love the head/neck pillow the most. Could be a longer mat for the spine. Very happy overall
Helen O’ Dwyer –
BUY IT!! No need to read anymore reviews. Trust me, for the price you pay for this product its a steal. I couldn’t believe the quality. So relaxing. I just did my usual meditation laying on this and itson another level.
Amazon Customer –
There is no need to buy this matt for more! This one does the job. Me and my boyfriend suffer from irritable legs syndrome and laying down on this matt helps us massively. Even though it gives you pain initially, we manage to fall asleep on it! Definitely recommend!
Ellie –
I’m delighted I bought this Shakti mat, I was a bit sceptical before buying it that it would do much for my back pain but I am actually surprised at how much it helps. I think consistent use is key, even if it’s for just 20 minutes every other day. A bit prickly when you lie down on it first, but it’s nothing terrible and well worth it once your back starts warming up. I’ve actually fell asleep on it a few times. The mat is very good quality and came nicely presented with it’s own little carry bag and instructions. I would definitely recommend it, thank you for the great product!
Julie –
Buy mat and pillow you won’t regret it. After a few mins it’s very relaxing.I use it for lower back pain and shoulder pain. It also helps with sleep.
Emmeline –
I’ve used this mat most days since having it, I find it very relaxing and gives the right amount of pressure – only took a couple of times to get used to the spikes before it felt good. I bought this because I often get tension headaches/migraines and can’t get a massage at the moment. Using this along with doing some daily yoga and exercise seems to be helping a lot! I tend to use it before bed to relax my body
Cliente Amazon –
Buon prodotto,i chiodini sono appuntiti ma rilasciano una sensazione piacevole e di relax.
Javi –
Yes it’s worth it!! It does something!
Wizlon –
Wasn’t sure if this was going to work to ease my back ache, but it really does! I found immediate relief and slept really well too! It seems to work best for me with skin directly on the points, rather than with clothing on, which can be quite fierce until you’ve adjusted yourself on the mat a bit! But once the pressure is evenly spread, it feels good and creates a lot of heat in the muscles. I would definitely recommend this product for easing back pain or assisting with relaxation. The only comment I would make is that being tall, I feel like I have to choose between putting my shoulders on or my hips/sacrum. It would be great if they could put the plastic points all the way to both ends, rather than just to one end with a wide fabric border without points at the other. But overall, a really good product which I would recommend.
Joe S. –
My best friend recommended me get one of these mats after talking about struggling to sleep and some pain being slumped behind a desk at work all day and i’ll admit i was somewhat skeptical.After using this several times for around 20 mins before bed, i can actually say i had better quality sleep than before and the shoulder pain that i was experiencing is no longer an issue. I can absolutely recommend picking one of these mats up, it can be a little bit of a shock at first with the sensation but that changes pretty quickly.
Grumpy Girl –
I walk about two hours every day carrying a heavy shoulder bag, and then I sit at work for 8 hours with terrible posture – my back isn’t in a great way. I had heard about acupressure mats but I didn’t fancy shelling out £30-£70 for some of the fancier ones I saw recommended, without knowing if it worked or not, so I decided to go for this slightly more affordable version.This product is an absolute miracle.The spikes feel really sharp if you gently glide your hand over them, but when you lie down on them, there’s nothing but relief!It takes a little bit of getting used to but wow does it do the job.If you find it boring to just lie on a mat for 20 minutes doing nothing, try putting on an episode of your favourite TV show beforehand and don’t get up until it’s finished!I’ve slept so much better since buying this, I’d definitely recommend it.
Magic Mermaid –
Product arrived on time in packaging that is completely recyclable.Pillow is really comfortable and fits nicely into the curve of your neck .After about 3 minutes lying on the mat, you can feel the heat starting all over your back. It is relaxing. I have chronic back pain, hence the reason for this purchase. I’m not sure yet if it will help but I will post an update if it does.
TT –
I first came across acupressure mats on instagram – the one that first grabbed my attention was nearly £100!! I lusted after it but couldn’t justify the price since I’ve never used one of these before and didn’t know if I would keep using it, so did some further research and came across this yogi bare one and I am so pleased! very happy. at a fraction of the price and so soothing. I like to use lying on my back, topless so I can really feel the points and reap maximum benefit. I raise and put knees to tummy to increase pressure on my lower back. I do at least 20mins each time. its so relaxing, once you get up, you just feel zen and want to go to bed. I would drink lots of water after too to help rid any toxins that this has helped your body eliminate. you can feel your body gently pulsating when you’re lying on it. this isn’t for you if you have no patience, invest in your health take time out with this mat!
Lesley –
Instantly stopped my severe insomnia with 20 min use prior to bed. Brilliant !Hurts for about 3 minutes then feels like a warm sensation.
Kathryn Jane Field –
I was a bit dubious at first about this as I hadn’t had anything similar before with the flowers on once they start to soften up with use it gives the mat texture the pillow is a nice touch I’m only petite at 5ft 2 & I found this was just right a taller person might find it too short
Elly Hart –
The mat is excellent quality and at a great price. Used a few times now and have slept amazingly after as well as helping tension in my shoulders. Will be using in between massages
Anon –
Also helps with migraine
tanya –
Ive been diagnosed with bladder mesh trouble which has caused me great pain in back and legs this helps my back a lot takes a bit of getting used to .I put a tshirt on for first couple weeks now i can lay on it easy for over 30 mins its been a great help.
Debbie –
Love it its so good for my back
Lauren Bowers –
This is such a great product! I went for the grey colour which is lovely and use it every night to meditate on before bed. I don’t find it too intense, just the right amount of pressure (baring in mind everyone is a different size and weight so that plays a role in how much you might feel the spikes) I put this in my bed to lay under the covers and have fallen asleep on it many times! You eventually wake up to remove it, but I find I sleep much deeper if this happens and would definitely recommend it!
Natalie Barnes –
I love this. I suffer with a bulging disk L4-5 which some days is crippling.After reading the reviews I thought I’d give this a go. To be honest I wasn’t expecting it to work really and I don’t think I have the best pain threshold so I didn’t think I would be able to lay there long.Well, I love this. I can feel the pain seeping away!Day 1, 20 minutes on it. Got up off the matt like a gymnast! I know I sound like I’m exaggerating but my back felt so supple and pain free.It’s easy to use. You literally lay it down on whatever surface you like. I find it best on the floor.If you suffer with a bad back I would 100% recommend this.
emma boswell –
Was a bit sceptical ordering this due to mixed reviews but it’s a good product! So far I’ve only laid on it for 5 minutes and will try and build up from here. Really good for releasing pressure and I feel very relaxed after using it for a short time.
Harmit Singh Riyat –
This is a very good product that can help start re-vitalizing the body and mind. I used this mainly for improving circulation and to sleep better. I was able to form good habits which led to better sleep and therefore more productivity throughout the day. I would recommend this product, especially when you can use the mat or pillow whilst doing other things, like watching tele.
Cos –
It really does take time to use this and I have to be in the mood but it has definitely helped with pain on my right side of my neck, persevere it’s worth it.
G. Duncan –
Whenever I feel a bit anxious or stressed or have a pain in my back I usually now take to lying on my mat with my t-shirt off. That way you get the full “bed of nails” effect. It works well I think so far. I haven’t had it tooo long, but so far I’m impressed and I think it was good value for money. Only 4 stars for comfort as lying on a bed of nails isn’t too comfortable haha. At first that is! Then it gets easier. 🙂 I don’t know how well it would work for really bad back pain as I don’t have that – just the occasional niggle now and again. Give it a try!
Amazon Customer –
I am never compelled to write reviews but for this product I am. After 5 plus years of seriously bad back pain, this has been life changing. I put a 3 for comfort because its not comfortable at all but its worth the pain. Its part of my daily routine now, 10- 15 mins morning and at night. Brilliant value vs the quality of life and movement its now given me back.
P Delaney –
I have only had this item for a short time and have used it three times so far. I have found that I fall asleep more quickly but unfortunately I still keep waking in the middle of the night. I do feel however that when I do sleep, it is a deeper sleep. I do find that it stops my mind racing, probably due to the fact that you can’t prevent yourself concentrating on the fact that multiple spikes are pressing into your back! Having said that I have quickly got used to the spikes and have dozed on the mat for half an hour twice so far (without intending to stay on the mat for that length of time. I know from personal experience that reflexology works in the case of headaches, congestion etc. and I notice that as soon as I use the mat my sinuses drain and I breathe better. I will certainly use the mat as it is good for circulation and relaxing and hope that my inability to sleep right through will end when we can all live normallyagain.
David John Clarke –
This mat does exactly what it says it will do.
Buyer –
Great product
Victoria Loughlin –
I bought this to help with pain in my back and shoulder. I’d seen some of the more expensive products available but wanted to see if a cheaper product would work before maybe going for the more expensive one. No need to now! At first, yeah it’s painful, but I started with a t-shirt on and within a few days I worked my way up to laying on it with no top. It works so much better! I’ve found the neck pillow is actually really nice when I press it into my scalp, it gives me relief from pain and tension, and gives kind of a tingly feeling. I have sensitive skin when my chronic illness flares, but I can still use this – I use it on the bed instead of on the floor on the bad days.
Kaya Garrovillo –
Actually incredible. So relaxing and feels amazing, I don’t find it uncomfortable at all except in some more painful parts of my lower back but that’s how I know it’s working on the area! with more use the pain has lessened as well!!! I honestly feel so relaxed and all my aches and pains and soreness have lessened/disappeared just from using it every day for the last week. Super good value for money and have already sent the link to everyone I know who would benefit from this and urged them to purchase it themselves!!!
Charlie Amy –
Like everyone else I was sceptical but wow oh wow what a difference I have felt! Can’t say it has impacted my sleep but I bought it for my back anyway. I have a slipped disc which has an impact on my entire back, I’ve had it for years and the other areas of my back and shoulders massively over compensate for this pain so I’ve been in a lot of pain all over really. Not only this but covid has meant a lot less exercise and moving around etc, a lot of sitting around does not help me. Anyway, first day I got this and tried it out seemed alright, I have quite a high pain threshold so bashed out 20 minutes no problem, next day all my pain was gone, except for the slipped disc, obviously, it’s not that magic it can’t perform surgery to pop it back in there. Main problem was I’ve had all this other pain for so long as well it kind of distracted me from the real pain of the problem. Still continued using the mat every day and got used to the original pain again but I still feel a million times better with daily use! 100% would and have recommended!
L A Coombs –
Really impressed with this product after seeing it on ‘This Morning’ in relation to headache relief.I’ve only had it a week or so and have used it most days so far but cannot comment on my headaches as yet.It’s well made and good quality.One end of the mat allows opens up, which will allow you to wash the cover and long term replace the foam.The spikes are quite sharp – I can lie on it with a t-shirt on at present, hence the 4 stars!I find the headrest quite useful and definitely feel the benefit when I get up.Well worth the price I paid.
Amy –
Had pain in my head / neck for a few weeks and this was recommended.Laid down on it for a few minutes and the pain in got worse and i couldn’t move my neck.Not sure if it was the mat that caused this .. but used once and won’t be using again most likely
Imogen W. –
I’ve never left a review before but have to for this acupressure mat because it is pure magic. I’ve suffered with major back problems since I was twelve (16 years ago), and wasn’t actually diagnosed with scoliosis until I was around 22. I’ve had many physio appointments over the years, and none of them have done anything for me like the first 20 minutes on this mat. I got up from it walking better than I had in years, only to realise my right leg was almost the same length are my left again – which it hasn’t been for around 10 years. After 3 more daily sessions on the mat (15 then 10 then 5 minutes) my legs are exactly the same length and there is no longer a curve at the bottom of my spine. I cannot express how amazing this product is, I thought I’d never be able to touch my toes again (totally nailed it yesterday). I currently use it on my bed with a t-shirt on. I lay my back on it, with my knees bent towards the ceiling then let them hang over the end of my bed until almost touching the floor. I keep changing between the two, tensing certain muscles until I feel little clicks in my back (this was it actually aligning properly again). I will carry on to use this daily for the rest of my life, only a few minutes necessary to make sure my spine doesn’t decide to curve again. If you are thinking of buying one, do it! It’s the best £30 I’ve ever spent.
Amazon Customer –
I bought this for my wife after reading many positive reviews on line. She has had chronic backpain for almost 20 years after suffering a prolapsed disc. This can be particularly bad when she wakes in the middle of the night and has to ‘re-set’ herself to try to find a comfortable position.Long story short; she lay on the mat for 20 minutes before going to sleep and the first things she noticed when she woke in the middle of the night….’no back pain!!’She finds it uncomfortable but it’s clearly worth the effort for the result. It may not be a solution for everyone but at £30 a pop, it’s low risk.
Kerry Hayward –
I bought this mat based on the reviews and wanted to see what everyone was raving about.I went for bare skin and 40 minutes for my first trial once it had arrived. It was amazing!! I got so sleepy because I had relaxed that much. It definitely promotes relaxation and my shoulders didn’t feel as tight when I was finished. I think this is going to be a part of my daily routine from now on. Really well made and well worth the pennies. So comfortable that it makes staying on for the whole duration very easy. I would recommend this to everyone. If your in two minds about buying one I say go for it and experience what I have experienced
gramps –
cannot answer this as it was a present
Monique –
Prima spijkermat. Het is even wennen, maar daar na doet het wat het moet doen. Ik vind hem alleen erg kort. Is alleen voor het bovenlijf en de billen. Ik had hem voor het hele lijf verwacht.
Ally –
This is a great product. I don’t know how it works, but both myself and my husband feel the benefit of using this mat. I suffer with back pain, and migraines, and this has certainly reduced the ‘hangover/recovery time’ from my migraines. Plus I sleep so well after using. Great value for money too.
C Carey –
Wasnt sure what to expect from this, however the reviews were good and I’ll try most things to relieve pain so I can use less prescribed drugs.I have fibromyalgia, suffer from severe migraines and tension headaches. My coccyx is fused to my spine and curved outward unnaturally causing severe pain.I have preventative meds and pain meds for all of these conditions.Using this mat the first time I was sceptical. I understand acupressure and use it in places to ease headaches. I have had acupuncture for migraines. I wasnt sure that this little mat could do anything.Boy was I surprised. To start with you have to wriggle around to get into the right position that feels ok for you, specially the neck cushion. Initially it feels sore as the rubber spikes push in, but it is soon followed by a tingling sensations that gets warm and flows through your entire back. I found after 10 mins I felt more relaxed, my back felt warm and more flexible.I went away for a few days and didnt have it and have noticed a difference in my tension and my back pain. Both have increased. I wish I could take it everywhere, it’s not always possible if luggage has to be minimalised.I’m not sure what the loops on the side of the top of the mat are for, they dont marry up with any buttons on the bottom or the neck cushion. Personally I’m going to put some buttons on the bottom to keep it rolled up.I was so pleased I bought one for my friend who also struggles with various issues. I’m hoping it will help her too.

Troppo duri, inutilizzabili senza qualcosa che li attutisca un pochino. Era un regalo e mi aspettavo un pò meglio
Jo –
I haven’t used the more expensive version of this to be able to compare, however this seems to be much better value for money and seems to do the job pretty well! Admittedly I wasnt blown away the first few times I tried this, however I now found this may great for releasing general all over tension and helps me feel a lot more relaxed. Haven’t worked up to standing fully on it with both feet yet as this is quite an intense sensation!Only other thing I’d say is that it doesn’t stay rolled up which is only an issue for me as I have a little one in the house who could hurt himself on it so end up having to move it out the way all the time. Could do with having string ties attached so it can be rolled up and stored away but it’s not a massive issue and I’m still a great fan!
