Acupressure Mat & Pillow Set

If you only want to try the sensation on your back, the mat-only option covers that for $34.99 — it is the whole spike surface, just without the neck pillow. Most first-time buyers choose the Set at $44.99, which adds the bolster pillow so you can do your neck and back in the same session; the neck is a common spot for evening tension, and testing both together tends to feel more complete than the mat alone. The Set with Carry Bag at $49.99 is our best-value pick and the one we lead with: same mat and pillow, plus a zippered bag with a shoulder strap, useful if you want to store the set out of sight between uses, bring it to a friend's place, or just keep the pieces together instead of loose in a drawer.

All three ship in the same four colors — Navy Blue, Gray, Green, and Purple — with white spike disks throughout; color is purely cosmetic and does not affect the feel of any option. If you are still undecided, our best acupressure mat comparison lays out the full trade-offs against other brands, and our how to use an acupressure mat guide walks through a first session so you know what buying gets you in practice. If your main interest is standing use for sore feet rather than lying down, our foot acupressure mat guide covers that specifically using this same mat.

Dimensions and materials as listed on the manufacturer's product specifications. We do not publish figures the supplier has not documented (for example, exact spike-disk counts or fabric composition), because we would rather leave a spec blank than guess.

The first 30-60 seconds are usually the most intense part, especially on bare skin — several buyers describe it as sharp at first. It then tends to settle into a warm, prickly, spreading sensation. If it stays sharply painful rather than fading into warmth, stop and try a thin shirt as a buffer, or step away and try again another day.

Most people start with 5 to 10 minutes and adjust from there. There is no fixed rule. Beginners often find it easier to build up gradually — a minute or two the first few times, then longer once the initial intensity feels familiar rather than surprising.

The mat measures 66 x 40 cm. That is a compact format built to cover from your neck down to your lower back when you lie on it, rather than a full head-to-toe length. Some buyers who expected a longer mat have noted this in reviews, which is why we say it plainly here.

The mat-only option is just the spike mat. The Set adds the bolster pillow for your neck. The Set with Carry Bag adds a zippered bag with a shoulder strap, useful if you travel with it or want to store it out of sight. All three ship in the same 4 colors.

The mat has a fabric cover that closes with velcro over a removable foam insert and the spike disks. You can undo the velcro, pull the cover, and spot-clean or hand-wash it, then let it air dry fully before reassembling. We would not machine-wash the foam insert or the spike disks themselves.

It is the same general idea — a mat covered in small plastic spike disks for acupressure-style pressure — but not the same product or brand. Our mat is more compact (66 x 40 cm vs. roughly 74 x 44 cm for a full-size Shakti Mat) and priced lower. See our honest size-and-price comparison further down this page.

Check with your doctor first if you are pregnant, take blood thinners, have broken or infected skin, have reduced skin sensation (for example from diabetes or neuropathy), or have a heart condition. SpikeRest mats are wellness products, not medical devices.

Orders typically ship within 7 to 14 business days from our supplier to US addresses. Every order is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if it is not for you, you can return it for a refund within that window.
