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.

Love it !
Being Swedish I was first introduced to this wonderful thing in 2007 when it was the "Chrstmas present of the year". I suffer from really bad tendonitis, and on the occasions where the pain is unbearable, I take 20 minutes and lie on this mat. At first its obviously very sore, but you get used to it and the benefits are great! I also bought the pillow but I find myself using the mat a lot more often! Brilliant product that acts more or less like acupuncture !

really very surprisingly good
I have had chronic back pain for about five years now, and I've tried everything in the book. Ultimately, it seems to me, if you have back pain that won't shift, the only thing that will make life more comfortable is limitless money, because the remedial comforts that work - like massage, acupuncture, osteopathy etc provide short term relief at a high cost. Consequently, I am always on the lookout for ways to achieve the same, short term, symptomatic relief - for when I really need it - without having to fork out to go to a specialist. This mat, I am thrilled to say, appears to do just that. I've only had it a day, so I can't speak for the long term, but it has been great so far. As acute back pain is usually the result of muscle spasm or chronic tension, it's difficult to fix on your own because the pain won't let you relax, and yet relaxation is the only way out. What is brilliant about the mat is that the spikes overstimulate your skin and distract you from the pain, so instead of only being able to think about that one spot that is agony, your brain gets confused and that one spot melts into a general sensation of your entire back against the spikes - a feeling that is oddly, quite nice and very difficult to describe! Warm and prickly - in a good way!! I suppose the best parallel is the way a hot water bottle can soften the edges of very localised pain, except I think this works better. I'm really impressed, and curious about the pillow version!

A serious mat-ter
Buy this product if you have problems sleeping, relaxing, if you are prone to aches and pains. I have all of the above and am loathe to take conventional medicine, so am always on the lookout for an alternative. I swear this worked from Day 1. I even stopped using it for a night, to see if it was mind over matter. I sleep like a baby- truly drifting off almost immediately. My neck and back pain is much improved. It is indispensable, in my opinion, and I am thrilled to have found it. Word of advice- dont go bare back! Wear a thin layer of clothing. It is not too uncomfortable, and takes only a little while to get used to.
