HOW IT WORKS
Stimulate Your Body's Natural Recovery Response
Thousands of carefully engineered acupressure points apply gentle, consistent pressure across your back, neck, and shoulders. This stimulation promotes increased blood flow and activates your body's natural relaxation mechanisms.
Unlike passive recovery tools, acupressure actively engages with your body's meridian points. The result is a deeply therapeutic experience that leaves you feeling refreshed, restored, and ready to perform at your best.
How It Works
Position the Mat
Lay the mat on a flat surface and place the pillow at the top for neck support.
Ease Into Position
Slowly lower yourself onto the mat, distributing your weight evenly across the surface.
Relax and Breathe
Stay for 20-45 minutes while the acupressure points work to promote circulation and relaxation.

The Gaiam Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set has been a fantastic addition to my self-care routine. At first, I was unsure about the spikes, but now I love it! It helps relieve tension in my back, neck, and shoulders, and I feel more relaxed after just 10 minutes of use. The pillow is great for targeting the neck, and it’s surprisingly effective for stress relief and boosting circulation. It’s lightweight, easy to store, and perfect for natural pain relief. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to relax and ease tension at home!
I'm 75 years old.My husband and I Iive on our boat in P.R.I have mild scoliosis and sciactic pain. This mat has made a huge difference for me. I've practice yoga for years this mat is great addition to my well being. I looked for Gaiam products because I love their yoga mats. Thats when I found the mat. Took a bit of getting use to. But I love it now. And the price made it easy to try out.
As an experienced accupressure mat user I was looking to get a second mat so my wife and I could lay on them at the same time. Our other mat is a shatki mat and this mat did not even come close to providing the same level of stimulation and relief. While this may be good enough for a beginner, I would highly recommend spending the extra money on a higher quality mat.
Works great
There are a hundred different versions of these things here and all over the web now. It's not complicated, just a piece of covered foam, buttoned in plastic spikes, and a logo that seems interchangable. We bought the Gaiam brand to hopefully get a better quality product when sifting through all the various permutations of these, but I don't think it made a bit of difference. Mat works as intended. Harsh to use the first few times, but I did fall asleep on it one night. It was uncomfortable to roll off of on the bed when I did wake up, but it does actually relax you after time and provide some 'loud' comfort.
Love this acupuncture pad and pillow set. My vagas nerve is starting to come alive. After a few days of using the pad and neck roller on my back and neck I'm starting to wake up feeling stronger and I am staying awake longer.
This was a game changer for me in terms of relaxation methods. Coupled with Calm (the app), this is an A+. The way I can describe how it feels: at first it feels painful, but if you stick with it, you feel a tingling sensation to the point all your focus and attention is where your skin presses against the spikes. This is interesting because your attention is shifted from all stressors and distractions of the day-to-day and you’re in an instant state of relaxation. I’ll definitely continue using this product and will report back a month into it.
The mat has actually relieved pains. Yes, the sharp points hurt a bit. At first I thought I might only find it useful as a back scratcher. Twice now I’ve used it for upwards of 20 minutes because I had back and pelvic pain from shoveling snowcrete & playing (a lot of) Pickleball. Expectations were low, result: pains resolved. Suffer through the initial discomfort. Stay a while on the mat. You may be pleasantly surprised, like me. Full disclosure: I also take the CuroWhite curcumin extract tablets daily. Maybe one without the other would be less beneficial?
