Very satisfied with the order. I work long hours as a nurse and have developed back pain over the years. This thing just relieves all of it with very little time. I find myself enjoying it so much I fall asleep on it. And I usually wake up feeling great.
READ if you have rheumatoid arthritis!
I suffer from RA , my neck and back are done! The mat helped me a lot! At first it’s painful , then you feel your blood flow and warmth and after 15-20 min on the mat you get up BRAND NEW! The pillow also helped my migraine !!!! Felt like I had tension in my head and after 10 min it went away!!
AMAZING!!!!
Pretty much thought everyone’s reviews were bogus because they were so long and so positive. Butttt holy cow!! I photograph weddings and am a full time photographer!! My back hurts and I spend lots on massages!!! Let me tell you!!! LET ME TELL YOU!!! I’ve never been so amazed by something in my life!!!! My body feels like it did in highschool before I had a baby!!!! My mind is BLOWN!! I seriously can not believe I only paid $60 for this!!!!! Not only that but now I feel energized because my body feels like it’s moving freely now!!!!
Porcupine Love
Sunburn... Like being kissed by a star. I have very tight shoulders/traps, and this crazy little porcupine torture device pulled that tightness out! Don't pet the porcupine... Trust me.
I can't afford a massage therapist, so I figured, why not try this creepy little porcupine mat... At $60, as opposed to $85 per session with a therapist, why not!!!???
I unrolled the little bigger, dropped it on my carpeted living room floor, ripped my shirt off and threw caution to the wind!
Was a bit painful for the first few minutes, but then I started to ease up to the point where I could feel my whole body relaxing. By the 5-6 minute mark I could barely tell I was being tortured any more. By the 15 minute mark I actually started getting sleepy. About 25 minutes in and I decided to call it a great first session.
Now for the sunburn part... Within 30 seconds of getting off it, my back & neck felt like a mild sunburn. But that subsided in 10 minutes. Though my back looked like a bunch of golfers stomped it to bits, that too went away within 20 minutes.
Pretty sure I'm gonna buy one more so I can put them end to end and get a whole body porcupine torture session in. I am 6' tall and this fit me great.

Can’t say enough how much I love this mat and pillow. It works..it really works. I absolutely love it. I suffer with horrible neck and back pain and this has been incredible. I’m even on vacation and never leave home without it. The only improvement I’d recommend is making the mat longer, so you can lay on it from neck to toes. Considering buying an additional mat so I can have a complete body work but other than that it is fabulous.

Not sure why it works but it does! Especially for sleep. I’ve been dealing with arthritis pain in my neck and a pinched nerve. I was trying to look up pain relief options and I stumbled upon acupressure. It was one of those spontaneous impulse buys but I’m so glad I got this! I started with a shirt on but definitely didn’t feel like I was getting anything out of it. So I started with bare skin and this thing works. The next day my pinched nerve pain was about half of the pain level from before, and kept going away each day.
I recommend using this with bare skin and working your way up to longer periods of time on it. Also, not sure if this is for everyone but it makes me fall asleep almost instantly after using it! I made the mistake of using it during the day once and napped for the first time in forever. I now only use this for about 20-40 minutes before bed.
I actually convinced my husband to try it too and he fell asleep on it! He started asking to use it and said he noticed a change in his sleep when he used it (he notoriously has insomnia and wakes up a lot in the night).
If even just for sleep, this thing works. Not sure why or how but it does! I’ve already recommended it to a friend for her husbands back pain.

Two weeks ago I finally took the plunge and purchased the spiny mat. I've been experiencing pain and tightness in my upper shoulders / neck area and even after getting a massage - it was still killing me. One of my best friends has one of these and has raved about it forever.
I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY.
I lay on this mat for a minimum of 10 minutes a day, but longer if I'm able. It's taken my upper shoulders and neck pain from a 6 or 7 back down to a 2 or 3 on the pain scale.
I love that this was a natural option instead of taking medication. It also allows me time to be still + clear my mind during every session
Almir H.
I bought this for my mom, who has chronic back pain. I was very curious to see the results. She eased into the product by using it with a T shirt on first and has worked her way up to using it for longer periods of time. Although the pain relief is temporary she definitely feels better.
Kari L.
This is a great deal, 2 for the price of 1. It’s a great stress reliever for you and your dog!

The Spiny mat helps me so much with my back pain issues. It looks a little bit scary (if you take a look at my back in the picture) but it's definitely worth every penny.
You just feel great after one session, would highly recommend.

I've had trouble sleeping ever since I became a mum. Kids came 4 years apart so by the time the first one became a good sleeper...I could just start over with the second one. These roughly 7 years of bad nights messed up my bio rythm so much, I really thought I would never ever get a good night's sleep again. And I didn't for years. When I started to use the spiny mat I had high expectations, I read so many good reviews. I instantly fell in love with this little hedgehog bed. The pain was tolerable and it really got me into a relaxed, floaty state in minutes. The sleeping didn't change much at first. But lately (been using the mat since November) I realized that I sleep as deep as in my teens. Don't wake up 10 times a night, if something wakes me I CAN go back to sleep easily. I sleep 8 hours. For me this is amazing.
I sleep like a baby. Doing 8 hours of work while homeschooling, cooking, worrying for money, but in my sleep...I float away.
Blessings can come in so many ways, well this is one truly. ❤

I am a 64 year old lady with moderate RA and sciatica. The only approach to managing my pain is holistic. The Spiny acupressure mat and neck roll gives almost instant pain relief to the point I have to be careful not to fall asleep. If it’s pain management or just relaxation after a long day I highly recommend this product.

This was so uncomfortable! I can't give it a 1 star though because it really did help my headaches, which is absolutely worth something.

I've used the bed of nails pillow in conjunction with a bed of nails mat on and off for a year and a half. I find it to be quite relaxing. It's hard to speak to whether or not it is therapeutic per se since it's difficult to know what degree of aches and pains I would otherwise be experiencing without it.
In any event, I wanted to take a minute to write a review of this product as I am currently replacing my pillow. With regular use, the foam does eventually break down -- or perhaps more accurately, break in. It defeats the purpose of the pillow to have it conforming to my head, I think. It's not a deal killer, but know that, if you use it regularly, you will eventually want to replace it.
As a side note: I put my bed of nails to best use in conjunction with prism glasses like Prism Glasses, Prism Eye Glasses or Bed Prism Spectacles. I lie on the bed of nails with my prism glasses on to play Jeopardy! against my wife. It would otherwise be hard to regularly find the extra 30 minutes of spare time to lie on a mat & do nothing.

This product has been nothing short of amazing. I have had chronic back pain and chronic anxiety for as long as I can remember. Having a debilitating illness made simply existing very hard, however, 18 months out from a transplant surgery at 23 and I am finding myself to be seeking new ways to be kind to my body and treat some of my concerns in more natural ways. Some years ago, my doctors and I discussed the option of accupuncture. We ultimately decided against that for some health reasons, and this accupressure mat was the next thing brought to my attention. After reading some reviews, I decided to order and try it out. Like I said, nothing short of amazing.
This has helped improve some of my chronic pain, particularly in my back. My sleep has sleep improved. The added benefit of lowering my anxiety has been remarkable.
I would recommend this to friends and family and anyone
Liz D.
I was optimistic but skeptical when I purchased this product. Two people in my family get migraines, and I have insomnia, so I thought it was worth a shot - as a last desperate measure to avoid medication options. After just a few days I am hooked. I use it as directed for about 10-15 minutes, right before bed, and have been surprised at its effectiveness. It is relaxing and soothing the same way a scalp/neck massage is, for me anyway. I'm planning to use it the next time I'm stressed out/obsessing about something - it induces a profound feeling of calm for me.
As for my other family members, jury's still out. One has really short hair and it's a little too intense for him (I'm trying to get him to use it for just a few minutes at a time). The other is a little spooked by all the prickly bits ("why would I want to put my head on THAT?")...but next time a migraine hits we'll see if it helps. Super happy I found this, now curious about the mat. (Also: I really appreciate the little carrying bag that comes with it. It's a nice touch.)

I was so ready to be disappointed in this, but this is the real deal! I have fibromyalgia and this mat made my muscles relax more than they ever have for an acupuncturist. I wish it was bigger to cover more area since the nerves in my whole body are affected but, neck and back are great spots to relax as they really set the tone of the day.
Ben R.
This was a little painful at first so be warned. But after a few tries I got the hang of it and started to learn how to “let go” into the mat. This mat is really good for me to get out of my head and be present. I must say I look forward to using each day. Also super impressed with how quickly this shipped.
Janice E.
I love the Spiny mat it helps me sleep a lot better now a friend told me about it. It took me a few days to get used to it without a shirt on but no Pain no Gain.
The customer service is great.
Hilary A.
Brilliant service. My first try went better than I expected (thought it was going to be very painful initially but it wasn’t). It feels so great now and helps calm my body and put it into a relaxed state. 100% would recommend to others.
Angus S.
We were a bit skeptical but had it recommended by a friend. And wow what a recommendation - for the deepest most relaxed sleep ever, and for having your feet fully unwound, there is nothing better. Spiny mat is awesome!
Stacey S.
For the first 5 min the mat hurts but then like magic that goes away and we have been known to fall asleep on our mats. The feeling in my back and shoulders after a 30min session is amazing and we have been having great sleeps at night after using the mat. We would recommend to anyone who is having trouble sleeping. Love our mat!
Harry C.
I am loving my mat but still easing into the discomfort. I found that having it around my neck is still really too much stimulation! Ha but I am sure it will get easier with time.
Sheri A.
I purchased this item last week after seeing an advertisement on it. Figured why not. Couldn’t hurt and it has good reviews. I’ve used it while laying in bed, on the floor, and couch. I have to admit it feels really good. Not sure if it’s helping with my back and neck pain but I’ve only used it for a week. Hopefully it will work to reduce some pain. Not expecting miracles of being pain free. I would recommend this product. It’s decent price. Again, it feels good laying on it. Even the husband agrees when he tried it out.

Summary:
I purchased this Spiny mat to relieve back pain from computer work. The bristles looked intimidating at first and I did not like the jnitial sensation. But after 5 minutes the prickles slowly dissapear and a good stimulating effect happens. I have used this for 3 years and every time I use it I fall asleep on the mat. I'd say it works good. The mat works better than the pillow. It appears the bristles need pressure for them to work properly.
Pros:
1) Good quality mat.
2) Effective.
3) Mat is more effective than pillow.
Cons:
1) Can be shocking to use at first.

I purchased this because I've had chronic back pain for 15+ years. After numerous surgeries, injections in my spine, back, pain meds etc. I've finally had enough of medical doctors and decided to go a more homeopathic route. If you have a low pain threshold it will take some getting used to. The first time I used this mat I had on a thin cotton shirt and the disc w/spikes took about 10-15 mins to adjust to, once I relaxed my back felt much better. I even got both my daughters (ages 11 and 13 to try it) the younger one fell asleep within minutes. I think it is well worth the cost.
Tina L.
Everyone's positive reviews are totally accurate. One thing I did hear in the reviews was how it aids in mobility. I've been suffering for months with a tight and cramped back. I was unable to touch my toe let a lone palm the floor. After a few sessions I can once again fold myself in half and hug my legs.
Leah Z.
First try I was a little nervous but it was actually quite nice and not as painful as I had imagined!
Now a use it most days and my body knows what to expect :)
Nicole B.
I sent the mat back and got my refund.
It didn't work for me.
Thank yo
Remy A.
Has done wonders for my back and overall relaxation state at the end of a long day. Hurt a bit until I got used to it but totally worth the adjustment. Helps clear a cluttered mind.
Keith q.
Been using the mat for a week and I find it painful at first but I'm at a stage now where the sharpness is enjoyable. It is very relaxing to the point that some times I fall asleep. For some reason I have dreams every night now ,where as before it was once in a blue moon.
Michelle P.
Happy with this product. The spikes are nice and hard. The padding is just a thin piece of foam. So I wish the padding was a little thicker. Otherwise it feels amazing. Like the pillow and mat set.
G K.
i can only say I'm glad I found this
Alicia F.
I love the feeling when finishing, my back is at a total state of relaxation. However I feel it doesn't have any permanent benefits. Maybe that's just how I feel now after 2 weeks of using
Sonia L.
Long haired people: put your hair up if using the neck pillow, or use a hand towel over the pillow as your long hair will get caught in it. other than that, it works great, I use it weekly at least. Takes away aches in my back, de-stresses me. If you can work up the courage to stand on it, I highly recommend it! Start out with socks on first though, don't just go all in to begin with.
Max M.
so far so good, takes a little getting used to but hopefully with continued use will make a difference.. The color was a lot lighter than the one I order, the background was a very light gray and the purple area in the photo was more of a pink in real life
Teresa Z.
This has become addictive very quickly! Very relaxing at the end of the day. Bought to help with tension in my back and husband also using it for his neck.

Just got mine in the mail yesterday. Tried it with a shirt on and didn't think it was working like it should. Tried it without a shirt and....WOW! Completely different effect and when I can get past the first few minutes of pain it starts to go numb followed by warm, relaxing and then itchy from the blood flow. Had a great sleep last night and woke up feeling refreshed for the first time in a long time. I would highly recommend this to anyone having sleep problems. I'll definitely be using this every night before bed to see how it works long-term. Here's the results after 20 mins!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Steve L.
A couple of minutes of letting my body "melt" into the mat and the pain is replaced by a pure feeling of relaxation. It has helped with my chronic leg pain and back pain. You have to give it an honest try.
Hilde R.
I've had lower back pain off and on for years. I also get tension headaches. The first time I laid on this matter I loved it! I laid on it for about fifteen minutes and my headache was gone. It says to start off laying on something soft. But I dived right in and laid on the floor with it. It wasn't painful or uncomfortable at all.
There are little loops on the mat and decided to sew buttons on the opposite side so I could fold it up. That worked out great.
Linda M.
I absolutely LOVE this mat! As an avid runner & yogi my body is always beat up! Plus mom of two small boys who still love to be carried. This is the next best thing to having a built in massage therapist. Must admit I have a strong threshold for pain so I went completely to bear back on the mat. Although you can still feel it working with a light t-shirt on. This mat is the perfect way to end your day. I also use in the morning if my low back is feeling stiff. It really loosen everything up and is extremely helpful with digestion!
