If you haven’t heard about an acupressure mat before or seen celebrities like Elle Macpherson and Jennifer Lopez using them on social media, the thing to know is that it’s essentially a mat that is embedded with small plastic spikes.
The spikes are designed to be sat, stood or lied upon to stimulate pressure points. As the pressure points in the body are targeted, endorphins are released in the brain and this aids relaxation.
The TOMSHOO Acupressure Set is unique in that it comes with a pillow so you can release head and neck tension while working on the lower back.
Alternatively, you could sit on the mat, use the pillow to target your feet and release the pressure and stiffness in your legs and lower limbs.
With more than 600 five-star reviews and counting, shoppers praise the set for its ‘life-changing’ benefits, hailing it ‘magical’ for helping improve both sleep and muscle stiffness.
While it may look intimidating, shoppers claim the TOMSHOO Acupressure Set is surprisingly comfortable once you get used to it, and one even claimed it ‘often sends me to sleep’.
It’s also far less invasive than traditional Chinese acupuncture with longer needles.

‘Amazing,’ one five-star reviewer wrote. ‘I’ve used this may once today, and my neck and upper back pain has gone!! What a fantastic product; I’m completely amazed!’
‘I don’t have back pain, but I do lift weights,’ a second shopper explained. ‘I use this almost every night for about 20-30 mins. It’s really relaxing and helps to loosen up a bit, especially after a back session at the gym.
‘Really good sleep quality afterwards as well, I can really tell when I haven’t used it. I genuinely think everyone should try these, back pain or not.’
A third shopper wrote: ‘Immense pain relief. Excellent product. I had severe back ache and was suffering from minor insomnia due to hypnic jerks.
‘Improved the pain and sleep quality within the first day of use. Just used it for 15 mins. I will try for a month every day and post the further review.’
