Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set
$29.99
One of each, in the size you choose. The pillow is the same in both sets.
Every disc is moulded with a ring of raised points — 27 of them, ProsourceFit says.
The foam slides out and the cotton cover hand washes on its own.
Regular, 26½ × 16½ in, or full body, 51 × 19 in.
The discs
The top of the mat and the top of the pillow are covered in moulded plastic discs. Each one carries a ring of raised points ProsourceFit puts it at 27 a disc. That is the whole idea: firm points, pressing wherever you lie or stand.
Firm, not soft. The foam underneath gives a little. The points do not.
On the mat and the pillow. Both pieces carry the same discs.
Easy to clean. A soft brush gets between them, ProsourceFit says.
Two sizes
The same pillow and the same discs either way. The difference is how much of you the mat covers.
Covers your back from the shoulders down. The one to choose if you mostly lie on it, or use it on a sofa.
ProsourceFit: “Designed to provide full back massage for all body types.”
Runs from your back to your legs. The one to choose if you are tall, or want to lie on it full length.
ProsourceFit: “Designed to support taller and bigger frames and provides a full-body massage.”
How to use it
There is nothing to set up and nothing to switch on. Put it down, take your shirt or your shoes off, and use it for a few minutes at a time.
Materials
Three materials, one on top of the other. The foam core slides out, so the cover can be washed on its own.
The pillow
14¾ × 5¾ in 4 in high. Flat underneath so it does not roll, rounded on top, and studded with the same discs as the mat.
Under your neck while you lie on your back on the mat.
Under your head when you lie face down.
On its own, behind you on a chair or a sofa.
Care
The foam core slides out of the cotton cover. The cover is a hand wash, and it dries hanging up.
Before you buy
If you are pregnant or have a medical or skin condition, ask your doctor before using it.
At home
Anywhere you can lie down flat. A rug or a bed holds it still better than a polished floor.
What owners say
The first time I lay down on it I nearly got straight back up. I stayed, with a T-shirt on, and after a couple of minutes it was just a strong prickly feeling. Now it is part of my evening.
I am six foot two. The long one runs from my shoulders to past my knees, which the regular one would not. It rolls up fine for storage.
Half-round, firm, and the discs go all the way along. I use it on its own on the sofa more than I use the mat. One star off because it is firmer than I expected.
Mat on the kitchen floor, shoes off, five minutes in the morning. It is intense on bare feet at first. It has stayed flat and none of the discs has come loose.
Slid the foam out, hand washed the cover in the bath, hung it up to drip dry. Took a day to dry properly. Went back on easily.
I cannot do it without a shirt yet. With one it is fine. If you are expecting something soft, it is not — it is a mat covered in hard plastic points, which is what it says it is.
I am five foot four and the regular mat covers my back from shoulders to waist. The pillow sits above it for my neck. Compact enough to slide under the bed.
The pillow is about the right height to rest my neck on while I lie on the mat. Both pieces feel well made. Black cover, white discs, looks tidy on the floor.
Hand wash and drip dry only, which is a faff for something you lie on most days. The mat itself is fine. Read the care label before you buy.
On wooden floorboards it slid a little when I stepped on. On a rug it stays put. The points on bare feet take some getting used to.
First week I managed five minutes at most. By the third week I could do fifteen. It is not a mat you will enjoy straight away, so give it time.
The regular size sits neatly on top of my yoga mat at the end of a session. Light enough to carry around the house.
Nothing under that topic yet.

Questions
The points are firm plastic, and the first minutes are sharp — that is what the mat is. You can lie on it over a thin layer of clothing until you are used to it, and on a bed or a sofa rather than the floor. ProsourceFit suggests sessions of 10 to 30 minutes.
The regular mat (26½ × 16½ in) covers your back; ProsourceFit describes it as “designed to provide full back massage for all body types”. The full-body mat (51 × 19 in) runs from your back to your legs and suits someone taller. Both come with the same pillow.
Yes. ProsourceFit suggests standing on it in the morning. Take your shoes off and keep your weight spread across both feet.
ProsourceFit’s guidance is 10 minutes a day, up to 30.
A cotton cover over a foam core, with moulded plastic discs sewn to the top. ProsourceFit calls the foam “plant-based eco foam”.
Slide the foam core out and hand wash the cover gently — inside out if you like. A soft brush gets between the discs. Drip dry only: no washing machine and no dryer.
One mat and one pillow, in the size you choose.
No. It is a massage mat for use at home. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. If you are pregnant or have a medical or skin condition, ask your doctor before using it.
Yes — a limited lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.
