I wanted to wait to review this until I’d used it a while.
I bought this as an alternative to the really expensive Shakti mat that’s over $100. I bought it specifically because another reviewer bought both and compared them and found no difference other than 1 is priced extremely high, and this one is affordable.
I use this almost daily. I suffer from chronic neck pain and tension headaches and this mat is a game changer. Yes, it’s pokey. Yes, it’s uncomfortable for the first 5 minutes because it’s supposed to be. If you can push through that discomfort, the relief you feel after is worth it.
This mat is my go to for tension relief. When I have neck pain and a subsequent headache I typically lay on the mat for at least 30 minutes. Around the 15 minute mark I can actively feel the headaches melt away. My husband thought I was crazy at first, but now even he uses it often to relieve stubborn tension in his back and neck. I’ve told multiple family members and friends about it at this point. Don’t waste your money on the over priced one, and get this one!
