Spoonk Acupressure Eco Mat, Magenta - with Massage Ball, Travel Mat & Sling Bag - Back & Neck Massager - Travel Pillow - Stress & Muscle Relief - Sleep Aid - Relaxation Kit - Made with Cotton

Great value and a nice cheerful color.

These are everything the reviews claim they are. Amazing. I feel all of the stress and back pain leave my body when I lay down at night on our living room floor and do 45 minutes on my Spoonk.I bought one (with travel pillow) for myself and also my boyfriend. We now have "Spoonk time" every night since Christmas. We are new to acupressure mats and not "pros". I was able to lay skin directly on the mat for the full 45 minutes the first try, while my boyfriend could not at all. However, he has worked up to being able to lay shirtless for up to a half hour after gradually increasing the time.If you plan to use it on your floor while watching a favorite show (that's how we like to do it), I recommend rolling the travel size into a neck roll and placing it on top of a throw pillow. Place your back and shoulders on the full sized mat and then reach up and pull the pillow and rolled up travel mat under your neck, letting your head's weight rest on the throw pillow.It's tricky at first and awkward, but now that's my routine to both prop my head up while still getting the neck pillow effect as well as the full body Spoonk and just relax and turn on Netflix.We look forward to this time SO much because it's enjoyable, relaxing, and heals pains and aches of the day in a snap. Even my 11 year old son decided to try it despite the scary look and... loved it!If you have daily pain, aches, tension, stress, or even head and neck strain from computers and cell phones, this is a guaranteed fix. Much better than a hot bath, massage, or stretching.It has even started to improve my serious and long term acid reflux and GERD from an Ulcer several years ago. I take less and less stomach meds now than in 5 years. My insomnia didn't get markedly better, but I also don't use it in bed/right before bed, as directed. I HAVE dozed off while on the mat. My Sciatica pain is improved each time I use this and prevents glare ups. It even clears my sinuses after a few minutes of it pressing into the back of my neck.If you are hesitant... dont be. This will instantly become a necessary part of your day and missing it would be like skipping brushing your teeth. You won't want to ever miss a Spoonk session again. I can't recommend this enough.No Cons really. If you use it a lot, you will have these bagged mats hanging on your coat rack or nearby to grab and use, which really organized people may not like, but every other brand I've seen is much less portable and don't have bags at all. So this is still the best choice.6 Stars if I could! Fantastic, amazing, best purchase!****October 2016 Update: I am still using this product nearly one year later EVERY day. When I miss a day, I really feel it in my back and shoulders. I dedicate a full hour each night close to bedtime where I lay on the mat with the travel mat rolled up as a pillow under my head and just relax on our floor and watch a favorite TV show. This has become a major part of managing my back and shoulder pain 1 year later and I'd recommend this even more than the first time around after a full year of daily use****

I grew up with these pointy mat, slippers, head rest, you name it but I hated them as I felt nothing but pain. I could not understand why my mom said it felt so good and she slept on it every night. Now I understand. I got it today so I tried it right away and I felt a sleep on it. aaahh. I love this thing. I'm 47 5'4", 120lbs with neck & back disc, scoliosis, tennis elbow, frotzen shoulder w/ tendonitis & bursitis and firbromialgia. I've tried many things to easy my pain. accupucture, chiropractor, massage, pain cream and oils, pills.. they all work but it cost you a lot so you can't do every day but with this mat I can have my pain relieving heaven everyday. yeay.When you touch with your hands you might feel that awful pocky ow, ow but when you lay on it, you won't feet that. Fingers are much more sensitive than your back. If you never tried anything like this, this might feel awkward and owy at the begining but I promise those feeling will go away very soon. Try to start with a short minutes (5-10min) then stretch out to 30-40 min as they recommend. If you feel so much owy in the beining then start with a thicker shirt on. Once you get used to it then wear thinner shirt. Eventually you'll be without the shirt. haha.. dont forget to breath deeply to adjust the mat initialy.If you want to get extra pain relief, try putting some pain relief cream then lay on it. You will feel the extra sensation through your muscles. :-)Standing on the mat while you wash your face and brush your teeth are a great way to start & end the day. Oh remember to wear your socks to stand on it in the begining. Your weigh is on your feet and it's much more intense than on your back.Well, I might have to order another one as my dog loves it. He took over while I'm writing this review. My hyper dog is passed out on it. so cool..Good luck everyone.

I have a bad back and insomnia - not a good combination! This 'thing' was recommended on a heath and wellness site and I thought it was worth a try. I've tried everything for sleep, from prescription meds to guided relaxation. I've come to realize that one of the main reasons I have trouble sleeping is because I'm so tense. Even my face and jaw are so tight I can't relax them to sleep. Guided relaxation apps have helped me to some degree but for some reason when I lay on this thing my face (and the rest of me) relax almost immediately. Yes. It's like laying on a bed of nails as some people have said in their reviews but it's one of those 'hurts so good' feelings! I'm like the Princess and the Pea but this is different. I think the reason it relaxes you is because if you stay tense, it hurts. If you relax into it, you get this delightful tingling feeling all over. If I have a headache I lay on it with it on my scalp and it relieves the pain within a few minutes. Last night I had been tossing and turning for over an hour when I finally laid it under my bare back. I felt it go to work immediately & was out! I woke up with it still under me this morning and could no longer feel it. (It does hurt when you peel it out of your flesh after sleeping on it all night! Lol) I cannot stress how great this thing is! Also, if you have chronic back pain, you know that sleep can be an issue. I have two herniated disks so this isn't mild pain. I place it under my low back and miraculously it helps make me comfortable enough to sleep! Do yourself a favor and give it a chance! I'm so glad I did!
