ProsourceFit Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set for Back/Neck Pain Relief and Muscle Relaxation

I wanted to wait to review this until I’d used it a while. I bought this as an alternative to the really expensive Shakti mat that’s over $100. I bought it specifically because another reviewer bought both and compared them and found no difference other than 1 is priced extremely high, and this one is affordable. I use this almost daily. I suffer from chronic neck pain and tension headaches and this mat is a game changer. Yes, it’s pokey. Yes, it’s uncomfortable for the first 5 minutes because it’s supposed to be. If you can push through that discomfort, the relief you feel after is worth it. This mat is my go to for tension relief. When I have neck pain and a subsequent headache I typically lay on the mat for at least 30 minutes. Around the 15 minute mark I can actively feel the headaches melt away. My husband thought I was crazy at first, but now even he uses it often to relieve stubborn tension in his back and neck. I’ve told multiple family members and friends about it at this point. Don’t waste your money on the over priced one, and get this one!

Have had this mat since 2021 and I cannot tell you how much it helps. For those saying it’s too spiky, of course it is. It’s not going to feel amazing the first few times you lay on it, but your skin will adapt. Starting out only a few minutes or laying a very thin sheet over top can help. Within 10 minutes I can feel my blood pressure and heart rate drop, my anxiety lifts, and I feel grounded. I do this a few nights a week before bed and it helps my sleep as well. It’s held up very well for the price, the only thing I would like is if they would offer a tote or some kind of storage.

I love my mat!! I will say it is definitely far sharper than my first one. It takes more getting use to than my last one and working up to extended periods takes longer. I do feel much better using it and it has improved my sleep and helped heal my neck shoulder injury.

I rarely ever leave reviews for anything on Amazon, so that should be a testament to how effective this product is. This one fairly cheap item has nearly eliminated my low back pain and I have tried everything! I would recommend laying on it without a shirt to maximize the effects, you do need direct contact. Yes initially it is uncomfortable, I started by laying for 5 minutes and can now lay comfortably for 30 minutes. The most uncomfortable part even now is getting off the mat, it does hurt but quickly subsides. I literally lay on it every day either in the morning after a workout or after work when I have been sitting all day.

I've had this for about a year now and decided to write a review. I bought a used one on Amazon Resale because it was about $10 cheaper than buying a new one. Although it wasn't sent in the original packaging, the item was almost new, had no stains or defects, and was in good condition. I lead an active life, playing sports and exercising every day, but maybe because now that I'm in my 50s, I often have pain and ailments all over my body. I've been trying out various recovery items and I decided to give this item a try after reading positive reviews. At first, it was too painful to use this on my bare skin, so I had to lie down for about a minute with a thin tank top on. All I felt was pain and didn't feel any comfort first, but after using it 2-3 times a week for a few months, I was able to lie on my bare skin without feeling like I am hurting myself. I continued this for a year and now I feel so good that I fall asleep after about 10 minutes of lying on my bare skin. I can sleep on the mat for about 45 minutes. This is a guaranteed way for me to have a power nap after a vigorous exercise and I feel refreshed when I wake up. Also, it seems to help pain in my back or buttocks when I sleep on it. Every time I use this item. I feel a great sense of refreshment and relaxation that nothing else can provide. It also helps regulate my autonomic nervous system. As for the head pillow, I never used it because it was too stimulating for my head, but recently I tried putting my feet on the pillow while sleeping on the mat and it felt really good! Now I use it only for my feet. I like it because I can massage the acupressure points on my feet which are not usually stimulated because we all wear shoes and socks all day. As for the mat, other than sleeping, my favorite way to use it is to sit on the balance ball as soon as I wake up in the morning and do some pelvic stretches while placing the mat under my feet. This stimulates my foot and wakes me up quickly. My husband likes the mat too, but how he uses is a bit different. He is 190 pounds (almost 100 pounds more than me) so it seems to hurt to lie on it (probably because of his weight?) and he says that lying on his stomach on a regular yoga mat with this mat on top of his back is just right. Either way, we both really like it.

I’ve tried something in the past and recently feel like I should get my own set so I can enjoy it at home. This one has a lot of reviews and also good rating so I decided to get this a try. When I first got it, it’s actually extremely sharp unlike what I had before. But I figured once you have even pressure over it, it wouldn’t be a big deal, just need to get use to it. Overall it’s not bad, it is slightly shaprtwr than I would like. But that’s not what I gave it a 3 star. The reason is at the material of the fabric and the foam. The fabric is extremely thin, and it’s not a good material neither. I opened up the seam and the foam is quite a joke. It’s so thin and so support at all. It’s pretty disappointing. I know this item is not expensive so if you are right on budget and don’t mind the overall quality or longevity, sure give it a try. But if you want good quality product, you might want to look somewhere else.

Just one day since I used it. Haven't felt more energetic and relaxed in years! It's a game changer for someone like me with ankylosing spondilitis, then I can't imagine what it will do for someone with back pain with no underlying disease. I've included it as a meditation, and it's just blissful how I feel pranaali energy in parts of my body which were for so many years only in pain. Thank you prosource for this. Planning to buy one more so that I can have greater coverage on legs simultaneously. I also have radiating pain in my arms. So just rest my arms on it and lay a yoga bolster on top for greater pressure as arms aren't heavy enough to feel much. Another mat would help me do both arms simultaneously. I'm in love with this new ritual to my daily routine. Which is just so pleasurable. After the initial discomfort though. What helped was taking deep breaths and allowing myself to be present with the sensations. Soon it started becoming blissful :)

Mon dos me fait terriblement souffrir depuis des années. Ce tapis atténue très nettement les douleurs, ce qui me permet d'éviter au maximum d'ingurgiter des médicaments. Je le recommande vivement !!!

First time I used it I was scared of the pain, then the second time I adjusted position a bit and can now manage. It feels very warm once you position yourself. Like more warmth/heat than feeling painful. Makes you feel sleepy.

you can buy the same one for 1199 and this products are same …. it’s just waste of money ….

I ordered this product to help with my lower back pain. Getting on the mat is painful. I agree with other reviews that it does take a few minutes to warm up to. After about 5 minutes, it feels amazing. What other reviewers did not mention was how painful it is getting off the mat. Once you struggle to get off, your back feels great. You will have redness and indentations for about 10 minutes. I found drinking a lot of water helpful. I’ve only been using this for two days. I received it in the mail yesterday and used it 3 times in 30 minute intervals. Today I used it on my bed rather than my floor. If you are very sensitive, you can try using it with a light t shirt on. I tried this at first but could not feel the needles at all. I can honestly say that this has made my back feel a bit better but I will definitely have to use it everyday till I’m fully heeled. Quality is good and shipping was super fast.
