This acupressure mat set is well-crafted and lightweight, making it easy to use. Although I don’t have previous experience with acupressure mats, the discs with spikes are securely mounted and appear durable, suggesting it will last a long time. I’ve been using it on my sofa, but I plan to try it on a harder surface, like my carpeted floor, for potentially better results. I’m still assessing the effects, but after using it for a while, I’ll report back on how it improves my overall well-being. I put my shoe, a size 7, in one of the photos to show the size relationship. Also, it comes in a carrying bag in which it fits perfectly!

I got this instead of the $120 one I was getting advertised online. The spikes are very sharp and it hurts to lie on which helps to relax. I can't imagine how to expensive alternative could be any better because this does exactly as it should.

I’ve purchased this acupressure mat set three times because it’s the only thing that consistently calms my nausea. I’ve struggled for years with severe, cyclical vomiting—multiple hospitalizations, every test under the sun (MRIs, CTs, scopes, labs), and a long list of meds including ondansetron. A neurologist recently connected my symptoms to vagus-nerve dysregulation (my body living in “fight or flight”). When a wave of nausea hits, lying on this mat flips the switch: my body relaxes, my stomach settles, and the urge to vomit fades—often within minutes. Why this one works for me: Even, firm pressure from the discs—no flimsy spots—plus the included neck pillow hits the upper back/neck where vagal stimulation helps me the most. Large size & carry bag make it easy to use at home or bring along. Durable and easy to clean; mine have held up through heavy use. I’m not into mystical explanations—I’m a “show me the evidence” person—but the vagus-nerve link between the brain and gut is real, and acupressure is a simple, drug-free way to tap into the body’s “rest and digest” mode. For anyone dealing with nausea, anxiety, or that wired-but-unwell feeling, this has been genuinely life-changing. I’d gladly pay 10x the price for the relief it gives me. Of course, talk to your doctor—this is just my experience—but if you’re desperate for something that actually helps, try this mat.

not bad, the pillow is better than the mat

I debated buying the XiaoMaGe Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set for over a year, but my neck pain finally pushed me to take the plunge and I’m so glad I did. It was delivered the same day I ordered it, which was a nice bonus. I tried it that very night, and after just 15 minutes, I could turn my head more freely than I have in months. I honestly didn’t expect it to work because I read a lot of reviews mentioning pain during use but I felt none at all. A tip: I have a high arch in my back, so using it on the floor wasn’t effective for me. I placed it on the couch instead, and it worked perfectly. I woke up the next morning with no neck or back pain for the first time in a long time. This is hands down the best money I’ve ever spent on my health. If you’re on the fence, just try it, you won’t regret it.

If you can't decide if you need an this kind of mat, going for this one is a good choice since it has very sharp points, multiple parts, is decently constructed and is affordable. The points are glued in as opposed to being placed by hand like the really expensive ones. If one comes off it can be re-glued or even hand sewn back into place since it has holes along the edges. The measurements of the set that I received were slightly off, but that is not a problem for me. The bag appears to be made of a flimsy cotton, but it is not canvas. Getting the parts out of the bag took some tugging, but I don't plan to put the large mat back into the bag since I will keep it on a chair at home. I found this item to work exactly as described and I can use it without a t shirt. There is also a brochure that comes with the mats that describes how to use the items and clean them (hand wash). A neat surprise was using the mat for my feet. It made my feet feel like I had been walking on the beach!

Works perfect, reliefs so much pain i had in my upper back and neck. Helped with tension headaches a lot. Not too expensive definitely worth the money, easy to use.

I wish I’d bought this years ago. I have struggled with back and neck pain since a car accident in 2006. I’ve tried tons of gadgets, most ended up collecting dust in my closet because they just didn’t work. I have found acupuncture to be effective, but it’s expensive and difficult to find the time in my schedule. I bought this after eying a much more expensive version for months. I figured, at this price, what do I have to lose? I was apprehensive about using it the first time because those little spikes are sharp! I was pleasantly surprised to find that it really didn’t “hurt”, it mostly felt like a sort of prickly heat at first, and then after a few minutes I just felt warm and relaxed. The best part is that, after just one use, a painful knot in my shoulder that I had medicated for a week was almost completely gone. I have used the neck pillow independently a few times, positioning it to hit spots where I’m having pain, and within hours of use, the pain is gone or significantly subsided. Unlike many other things I’ve purchased, I actually look forward to using this because the endophin-fueled relaxation is awesome. About the product itself- the construction and materials are fairly cheap. I could see how the cotton might stretch over time or the styrofoam inside the mat might break down. For the latter issue, there’s a velcro opening at the bottom where the mat could be removed and replaced. I do like the inclusion of a carrying bag, as I will definitely be taking this with me when I travel. Overall, for the price, I think the quality is as expected, and, frankly, I really don’t care because the product is so effective. I highly recommend it.
