Would you like to experience the same after-effects as a professional massage or acupuncture treatment for a third of the cost? More than 40,000 Amazon shoppers say that the answer to better sleep and looser limbs can be found in the form of the ProSourceFit acupressure mat and pillow set.

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. 

Like the effects of a massage but want a more affordable at-home alternative? 

An acupressure mat allows you to naturally reduce muscle tension, and back pain by simply laying on the mat daily for 10-30 minutes. 

The spikes massage pressure points that help release tight muscles and relieve stress.

Use prior to bedtime to improve your sleep.
