Acupressure Mat Black

Forget what muscle aches and pain feel like and take relaxation to a whole new level! Bed of Nails is an acupressure mat that is used to alleviate a whole host of pain issues, including chronic neck and back pain, sore muscles and headaches, daily stress and even insomnia.

The mystical bed of nails originated over 1000 years ago and was used for meditation and healing. We have created a modern, ergonomically designed version of that ancient technology with a Swedish twist to model those same deep healing effects. Don't be alarmed from the look of these pointy spikes. They do not penetrate the skin. Due to thousands of nails, even though prickly at first, the sensation becomes after a minute or so rather blissful when pain and stress melts away.

Feel the effects instantly—instant pain relief, instant calm—you can even fall asleep instantly! In less than 20 minutes each day, you can restore freedom to your body. Get back to what you love doing, like playing with your kids or enjoying your favorite activities, without having to worry about pain or being tired.

Bed of Nails is the original brand that started the global acupressure mat movement and is designed with more nails than most other similar brands. More nails means your weight is distributed more evenly, which not only makes it more comfortable, but also provides a more effective treatment triggering more acupressure points.

Features

• Bed of Nails® started the global acupressure mat movement back in 2009. Since then, we’ve worked hard to create the most comfortable and practical acupressure products on the market. How? We added more nails and made our products safe for you and for the environment. Our round nail plates have 42 non-toxic recyclable nails rather than 25 nails like most other brands, stimulating more points with less pressure, making the experience invigorating rather than painful. This makes our products more comfortable to use while giving you more treatment

How to Use

• Simply lay on the mat and let it do its magic
• Use at bedtime for relief of back and neck pain/tension and a faster sleep
• Use in the morning for aid in meditation
• Step on your mat for a foot massage (stand still—the nails will do the work). For less intensity, sit down and rest your feet on the mat
• The Acupressure Mat can be used in combination with the Acupressure Pillow (sold separately)
• For more intense treatment, use the mat on your bed or the floor
• For less intensity, lean against the back of a sofa, an armchair, or against stacked up pillows in bed (the more body weight put on the nails, the more intense the sensation)

How It Works

• Bed of Nails acupressure does not penetrate the skin. The pressure of the rounded nails against the skin may help the body release endorphins, the body’s very own “happiness drug” which provides a sense of joy, energy and pain relief, and oxytocin, which makes you calm and relaxed (yes, it is possible to feel energetic and be relaxed at the same time!). Everybody reacts differently to acupressure, and the effects may even vary from time to time; if used in the evening, it may help you drift into sleep, during the day it may make you more alert, relaxed, happy, and have a clearer mind. Acupressure may also help the body rid itself of toxins, so it is important to drink water after using the Bed of Nails
