The bed of nails has been used by Indian mystics for centuries in the practice of healing and meditation and now it's been re-invented with a Scandinavian twist to give you a whole range of benefits, from soothing sleeplessness and easing stress to helping you re-balance after a long haul flight, alleviating aches and pains and even reducing the appearance of cellulite (the spikes help the body rid itself of toxins and increase blood flow, to assist the breakdown of stubborn fat groupings). It's also brilliant for easing neck and back pain, and can even have a positive impact on your complexion!
Far from being a scary instrument of torture, this Bed of Nails can have a rapid impact on those nagging aches and pains and help you get a heavenly night's sleep. The makers have cleverly combined Eastern wisdom with Scandinavian modernity to create a funky-looking acupressure mat that alleviates tension, stress and stubborn twinges - helping you to unwind, clear your mind and to feel more nimble. More than 8,800 non-toxic plastic spikes are arranged on the mat and work in a similar way to acupuncture needles, helping release endorphins (the body's own 'happiness' drug) and oyxtocin, to help you stay calm and relaxed.
The nails are made of 100% recycled non-toxic ABS plastic, the textile is cotton. The Bed of Nails should not be used in case of skin disease, haemophilia or the intake of anticoagulants.
For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.
Lay the Bed of Nails on the floor or on a mattress and slowly lower yourself onto it. Beginners should wear a light T-shirt or lay a sheet over the mat until your body and skin get used to the spikes. Initially lie on the Bed of Nails for 10 - 15 mins, and as you get used to the pressure you can build up to 20 - 30 mins.
Use as often as you need - preferably daily. Don't be alarmed if your skin stings a bit or feels warm and tingly, and it's perfectly safe to fall asleep for a while on the mat.
Leaning against it (rather than laying on top of the mat and pillow) is a lighter way to use Bed of Nails while you acclimatise (you put less weight on the spikes when you do). Place the mat/pillow at the back of your sofa, bed or armchair to experience the benefits while building up your tolerance.

Incredible!
Both this and the pillow are incredible products. I use this during my breaks (in between sitting at a desk for several hours). Gives the same effect you get after a shot of espresso, but you also feel extra calm. Mind-blowing!

Moulded Comfort
My husband was given this for Christmas but we didn't realise that you aren't supposed to use it if you are on blood thinners. So obviously, I took it over. As well as all the things the other reviewers say (in a good way), I have very itchy skin and lying on the mat enables me to massage the itches away and it becomes so comfortable that you don't even realise you are lying on a bed of nails!!

Heaven
As strange as it is, this is the best thing I’ve ever bought. The price made me question the purchase initially, however upon receiving and the first try, it was obvious that I made he right decision. It’s slightly painful when you first lay on it, however if you stick with it you will see a huge improvement.

You need it!!!
If you have an 8 hour, sitting at your desk job, you need it! If your have back pain, neck pain, you need it! I personally love this and find it the most relaxing thing I've ever bought. It gives you a great heating sensation when you lay on it and can actually feel the paiful area pulsating and nothing, NOTHING compares to the feeling you have when you peel yourself off it. It melts the tension away.

Long Hours at work BE GONE
This is a really great product! I bought it for me and for one my friends because we work quite often long hours in an office, not moving from those office cubicles and the tension is really building up in the muscles. I go to the gym in the morning not to be a sedentary person but it does not help with the after work feeling. Using this every evening before sleep, on bare skin, for around 20 minutes works wonders, relaxes my muscles and helps me sleep so well afterwards! I truly love it.

Great
Using this mat everyday. It helps to reduce stress, relax, clear mind. The mat is so amazing and helpful that my mum and grandma asked to order two more.

Weirdly good
This is one of those products that you think you don't need but decide to give it a whirl anyway in the hope of shedding years of pent up stress. After getting used to the strange sensation of lying on it and a bit of wriggling around to get comfortable (as the other reviews suggest light clothing is best) it's surprisingly good - in fact I've fallen asleep on it several times. I'm not sure what it does but it does seem to work really well.

Upgraded Shavasana!
As a university student I spend long dreary nights working on my laptop and straining my neck downwards browsing my phone obsessively. I can't help but always end up getting into a series of positions that are really nasty for my posture and spinal health (I guess we've all been there). All the sitting cross-legged for long hours and hunching over my desk have definitely taken a toll on my body, as I find it harder and harder to get a good quality sleep even after clocking in a good 8 hours. Every morning I wake up to tired eyes, sore neck, really tense shoulders and a not-so-pleasant mood. I've been lying on the bed of nails once in the morning and once at night daily for a while now, and it has genuinely worked its magic on me. This acupressure mat definitely surpasses burning lavender oil or having a warm glass of milk in order to get a restful sleep! Also, I'm not confident in explaining the tingling yet comforting sensation this mat gives, it feels similar to the peace and content I can feel after being in the Shavasana yoga position, except that the effect is much more enhanced with the mat! This is delightful to lie on, if you're someone who have a really poor habit of maintaining good postures or has a nervous disposition like me, this will definitely cast all the tension and pain away :-)

Everyone should own one!
Having tried most things for back pain, I thought I would give this mat a try but was skeptical as to how much of a difference it would actually make. Now you can hardly get me to shut up about it! Using this mat for just a short period of time, a couple of times per week has made a huge difference to the pain in my back in ways I haven't been able to achieve through any other (and much more expensive!) methods. And it's not just my back that it has helped - there has been a visible improvement to cellulite (who knew it could be so easy to make it disappear?!), headaches, skin... need I go on? If you haven't yet bought one, trust me, you are missing out!

Not sure about how effective this is...
I read all the glowing reviews and tried it for myself, but didn't seem to get much pressure when I lay down on it even with a very thin t-shirt. (It's very painful when I press my hand down on it though!)
