I started wearing it with a shirt and now I’m to the point where I can wear it without a shirt and within a few minutes I normally use it right before bed so I can calm my body and I can sleep a little easier and it really has helped my insomnia and to relax my tension, and I can feel less of those knots on my back and feel less tension on my back Feels like it is it’s great and compact so I slide it under my bed when I am done and it was also a great price which you can’t beat!

I don't know if it relieves pain or improve organ functions as some may claim, but I will say that laying on this thing is relaxing and stress relieving for whatever reason. Naturally, it will really hurted when I first began but I've adapted to it and the pain isn't as bad. The quality is decent for the price.

I wasn't sure if this would help with my lingering sciatica and related pain, but after trying it, I have to say that I am impressed. I tried it first in a chair for my back, then lying on the floor with the mat on my thigh area. I had to find the right position and get used to the sharp initial pressure points, but stuck with it (no pun intended) and I could feel the difference after 15-20 minutes. There was an ease in the sharpness of pain I had been feeling and I felt more flexibility in my back and waist areas. I was able to sit in my new office chair without pain. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone.

I purchased the other brand from bed bath beyond years ago and loved it. Over time, some nail pads started to fall off. I saw the same brand was selling on Amazon for double the price of this one so I bought this one instead. The nails on this cheaper one is way too sharp to use comfortably and the foam is VERY hard and stiff makes it even harder to get used to it. I do not recommend this product unless you can't afford the original one, don't buy this one.

Update March 2020: My love of Spikeo (affectionate name for this inanimate object) is known through all my friends, and over time many have tried it. At least 4 of my friends who have tried mine ending up buying one. Even people who think it looks terrifying have found it remarkably soothing. One thing: About a year into my relationship with Spikeo I bought another one to live at my parent’s house for when I have longer visits over the holidays. The new one was SO sharp — turns out that with daily use, the spikes get slightly dull over time. Eventually I felt like my original wasn’t packing the same punch, so bought a new one for myself about 18 months after the original purchase. My new one is gray, which is actually quite pretty and a little less garish. I would advise everyone to get new spikes every couple years or so if you want that signature OUCH with your pain relief.Original review:I have fibromyalgia and have spent hundreds of dollars on various pain remedies throughout the years. Most things haven't really helped, including physical therapy -- the only thing that would provide relief was Tylenol and scalding hot showers. This mat appears to be invented by a sadist and it definitely HURTS, but with regular use my pain has become much, much better. It also helps relieve pain when it happens, but I've found it to be more useful in reducing pain generally rather than addressing a particular pain spot.My best evidence of its effectiveness is that I get extremely thirsty after massages and the same thing happens when I lie on the mat for 20-40 minutes. I don't know what the thirst means (a quick Google says something about the lymphatic system?) but I take it as a sign that this mat actually does something for my knotted-up muscles.I love the mat so much that I made the following meme. I hope it helps in your decision on whether to purchase this.

Si me ha ayudado con el dolor de espalda. En especial cuando amanezco sin mucha movilidad o con sensación de torceduras o de contracciones. No es fácil en un principio por que duele un poco acostarse, pero luego de los primeros 5 min, es más llevadero. Lo ideal es estar mínimo 15 min e ir incrementando. Las veces que lo he hecho, si veo una diferencia en sensación dolor y movimiento al levantarme. Si lo recomiendo.

Atendeu minhas expectativas

Was advised to buy one of these mats by my acupuncturist. The brand he uses is well over ~$150, so I was skeptical to purchase this because of the price gap. Do NOT let the price fool you, this is a well made product that matches the quality of the professional name brand. The dimensions, thickness, and number of spikes are all equal to the brand name.The first minute of lying on the mat is a bit uncomfortable (lots of spikes!), but soon after the pain just disappears through your whole back and/or neck. It has been amazing to use, just need to try not to fall asleep on it. Truly worth giving it a shot if you have back/neck pain, at this price you have nothing to lose other than the pain.

Worth the money!

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