MassageMat

Too much time texting friends was killing my neck. This mat helps—10 minutes on it while vibing to my playlist, and I’m less stiff. Wish it was a bit cheaper, but it’s worth it.

Redoing my bathroom—ripping out tiles and hauling fixtures—left my shoulders in knots. A neighbor lent me this mat, and I’ve been using it on my living room carpet, lying down for 20 minutes while sketching out my next DIY plan. The acupressure points work wonders on the tension, and I’m standing a bit taller. It’s a pain to store in my cluttered garage, though.

Waking up with a creaky back was getting old, so I grabbed this mat. I lie on it for 10 minutes while checking emails, and it loosens me up nicely. The spikes are a tad intense, though—takes some grit to get comfy.

After dancing all day at a music festival, my lower back was begging for mercy. I’d read about this mat online and decided to try it. Back home, I rolled it out on my hardwood floor, lay down for 15 minutes while humming my favorite festival tune, and the spikes really soothed the ache. I’m not wincing when I move anymore, which is awesome. Only thing is, it’s a bit stiff for my liking—maybe a cushier version would be perfect.

This mat rocks. After long bike rides, I lie on it while scrolling my phone, and my back feels amazing. No more tightness.
