LyfeFocus Acupressure Mat & Pillow Set with Travel Bag - Cushioned Spike Acupuncture Massage Mat - Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain Relief - Ease Muscle Tension & Stress - Ideal Wellbeing Gift (Black&White)

Wow, what a ride! At first glance, it looks like a medieval torture device, but let me tell you - it’s strangely addictive.I laid down on it, and my back immediately questioned all my life choices. But after a few minutes of asking, "Why did I do this to myself?" I felt like I’d been blessed by a team of invisible masseuses.The pillow? I need more time to get used to this one. For now, I’m mostly using it for my legs.In all seriousness, it’s a game-changer for stress and muscle tension.It’s easy to use, definitely good value for money, and high quality. The functionality speaks for itself.I even started looking for an office seat cover with spikes.Highly recommend!

After using this product consistently for a few weeks, I feel equipped to share a detailed review highlighting its strengths and areas for improvement.The mat and pillow are covered in thousands of small, plastic spikes arranged in circular discs. At first glance, these spikes appear intimidating, but they are well-crafted to provide even pressure without causing harm. The materials feel durable, and the removable cotton covers make cleaning easy. However, the spikes might feel too sharp for beginners, so wearing a thin layer of clothing during the initial sessions is advisable.Using the mat takes some getting used to. The first session may feel uncomfortable as the spikes press into the skin, but after a few minutes, the sensation transitions into a warming, soothing effect. The pillow is particularly effective for targeting the neck and shoulders, areas where I carry tension. Over time, the mat became more comfortable as the body adjustedThe most noticeable benefit of the mat is stress relief and relaxation.After 20–30 minutes of use, I experienced a significant reduction in muscle tension, especially in my lower back and shoulders.It's also effective at stimulating blood circulation, leaving me with a refreshed feeling post-session.I found it particularly useful for winding down after a long day or as part of a pre-sleep routine..

I have upper back pain from minor herniation and I usually have Thai massage to help. Whilst this isn't a massage it's helps greatly in between. The product works but it's not the best quality. I had 2 missing pads on opening and generally just feels cheap but it is cheap and does the job. Fit for purpose I would say.

This thing changed my nap for good. The relaxation feeling I get after 25 mins (sometimes longer) is bliss. I would definitely recommend it. Price is much more acceptable than original product that goes around social media.

This mat is so relaxing once you get passed the initial shock of laying on lots of spikes. I use it everyday for 30 mins and it's really helped the tension in my neck and shoulders. I feel so relaxed after I've used it. It comes in its own bag too so that you can take it into the office etc.

I experience mild discomfort lying on this. I have used it twice now and for 25 minutes on the last go. I don’t move from pain to warmth to deep relaxation as the description led me to believe…. What am I doing wrong?! I can feel the spikes, and the discomfort level does decrease a bit (unless you move) but I feel like my skin is more stingy once I get off the mat. Still, I’m hoping I’m going to get a good nights sleep. We shall see! Will persevere :-)

I am approaching 40 with a busy lifestyle, 2 kids and a lot of stress. My sleep is very much disrupted- taking too long to wind down, waking in the night, waking up tired. I have used this for 2 weeks and since night 1 I have slept amazingly well, falling asleep quickly and easily, no more waking in the night, dreaming more and generally having a deeper sleep feeling refreshed on waking- my logical brain says is it just a coincidence but no- I skipped it 1 night and straight back to my old ways.I was tempted to go with a more expensive version that was spamming my social media feeds… I am quite skeptical of all things like this and like my health related purchases backed up by scientific evidence… so did want to spend £50 on something ‘woo’ (I don’t mean this offensively- it’s just how I feel!)So I am not sure at all how it works but it does. I am a convert- 15 minutes in bed before I sleep is enough to do this (and I also still have my bad habit of looking at my phone whilst I lie on it before anyone thinks it is just allowing a period of ‘winding down’ time before sleep- so we can exclude that as a variable- Nothing else has changed in my routine other than this mat)I am so pleased I don’t have to resort to medicating myself or having a nervous breakdown on the way…!and this mat is also great value for money- well made/stitched and it’s own little bag (although it never actually gets put away now as in daily use) - pleased I didn’t need to spend the £50 on the ‘other’ brand.I have read you can stand on the mat for 5 mins in the morning to give you an energy boost- not tried this yet as I don’t have time to stand around for 5 minutes but maybe one day I will as there is definitely something in all this acupressure stuff.It is mainly comfortable once you get used to it, the only painful bit I find is repositioning whilst lying on it when it scrapes my skin, but if you are still it is fine.I had it in my basket for ages before I committed to buying it- I highly recommend for sleep/stress issues.
