About this product
The BACKLAxx Acupressure Mat Set offers a simple yet effective way to manage everyday tension and promote relaxation. This comprehensive set combines a 65x38cm acupressure mat with a 37x30cm acupressure pillow, designed for targeted relief of back, neck, shoulder, and foot discomfort.

Utilising the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, this mat features 10727 needles strategically placed to stimulate acupressure points. Regular use – just 15 minutes daily – is believed to help alleviate headaches, back pain, and neck stiffness by promoting circulation, releasing trigger points, and encouraging the flow of inner energy. The sustainable construction utilises materials such as half-linen, coconut fibre, and kapok for a durable and antibacterial experience.
This set is ideal for anyone seeking accessible self-care solutions or those new to acupressure therapy. It's perfect for daily relaxation, stress relief, and supporting overall well-being. The included audiobooks offer an additional 110 minutes of guided relaxation to enhance your session. Please note that initial use may feel intense as the body adjusts; however, consistent use will bring a sense of calm and increased feeling of wellness.
