Are you ready for the least comfortable bed? The reviews are in, and…

Let’s get straight to the point

“Laura Try” tries out health things and reports on her findings. And in this case…

  • She noted up front that the claims for this are to improve relaxation, alleviate muscle pain, and improve sleep.
  • It also is said to help with myofascial release specifically, which can improve flexibility and mobility (as well as contributing to the alleviation of muscle pain previously mentioned)
  • She did not enjoy it at first! Shocking nobody, it was uncomfortable and even somewhat painful. However, after a while, it became less painful and more comfortable—except for trying standing on it, which still hurt (this writer has one too, and I often stand on it at my desk, whenever I feel my feet need a little excitement—it’s probably good for the circulation, but that is just a hypothesis)
  • Soon, it became relaxing. Writer’s note: that raised hemicylindrical pillow she’s using? Try putting it under your neck instead, to stimulate the vagus nerve.
  • While it is best use on bare skin, the effect can be softened by wearing a thin later of clothing between you and the mat.
  • She got hers for £71 GBP (this writer got hers for a fraction of that price from Aldi—and here’s an example product on Amazon, at a more mid-range price)
