Product Information
Full details
The Bed of Nails Acupressure Mat is designed for individuals seeking a convenient, at-home solution for stress relief, muscle tension, and improved relaxation. By utilizing thousands of non-toxic plastic nails to stimulate acupressure points, the mat helps trigger the body's natural release of endorphins and oxytocin, promoting a sense of calm and well-being. While it serves as an excellent tool for deep recovery, new users should be aware that the initial sensation of the nails can be intense and may require a period of adjustment to achieve the desired blissful effect.

FAQs
How long should I use the mat for?
It is generally recommended to start with 5 to 10 minutes and gradually increase your sessions to 20 minutes as you become more comfortable.
Can I use the mat on my bare skin?
Yes, using the mat on bare skin provides the most direct acupressure stimulation, though many beginners prefer using a thin layer of clothing initially.
Is the Bed of Nails mat safe for everyone?
Most people can use it safely, but those with sensitive skin, blood clotting issues, or who are pregnant should consult a healthcare provider before use.
Does it need to be plugged into a power outlet?
No, the Bed of Nails is a completely passive tool that relies on body weight to create pressure; it does not require electricity.
Can I fall asleep on the mat?
While the mat promotes relaxation, it is not recommended to fall asleep on it for extended periods to avoid skin irritation.
Troubleshooting
The nails feel too sharp during the first use.
Start by wearing a thin layer of clothing like a cotton t-shirt to act as a barrier between your skin and the nails.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Bed of Nails mat is straightforward: simply place it on a flat, stable surface like the floor, a yoga mat, or a mattress. When starting, you may want to wear a thin t-shirt to reduce the intensity of the spikes until your skin acclimates. For care, keep the mat away from direct sunlight and store it in a cool, dry place. If the mat requires cleaning, hand wash it with warm water and a mild detergent, ensuring it is completely air-dried before the next use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this may damage the plastic nails.
