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.

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!)

Magic Carpet!
This is really great! It activates immediately circulation, especially useful for sedentary workers. I will buy a second one soon as a present! :)Thanks Cult Beauty - you rock!

Great for a good nights sleep
I drive a lot for work and was looking for something to help reduce the tension and stiffness I often started to feel. I found that it really helped me to relax and I slept incredibly well - not even realising I wasn't sleeping well in the first place. I have this and the pillow and find this much better, although after long days having to stand (I work a lot of events), the pillow is great for your feet!

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!
