Description

Forget what muscle aches and pain feel like and take relaxation to a whole new level.

The Bed of Nails is thoughtfully designed to make pressure adjustment effortless, offering a modern take on ancient acupressure techniques. Similar to acupuncture, the gentle pressure of the rounded nails against your skin can stimulate the release of endorphins—your body’s natural “happiness hormones” that promote joy, energy, and pain relief. It may also trigger oxytocin, the calming “love hormone,” allowing you to feel both energised and relaxed simultaneously.

Responses to acupressure vary by individual and session, leaving you feeling anything from sleepy to alert, deeply relaxed, or mentally clear. Acupressure may also support detoxification, so be sure to stay hydrated after each session.

Inspired by the ancient bed of nails used over 1,000 years ago for meditation and healing, our modern, ergonomically designed version brings those powerful benefits to your everyday life.

In less than 20 minutes each day, you may restore freedom to your body. It is an effective tool for easing tension and inducing a state of deep relaxation. Acupressure can help alleviate a whole host of pain issues, including:

• Back and neck pain
• Muscle tension
• Headaches
• Insomnia
• Daily stress
• Improve circulation
• Cellulite

About Bed of Nails

What is Bed of Nails?

The mystical bed of nails originated over 1,000 years ago and was used by ancient gurus in the practice of meditation and healing. Bed of Nails® has created a modern, ergonomically designed version of that ancient technology, with a Swedish twist, to model those same deep healing effects. With thousands of non-toxic recyclable plastic nails, harmless to the skin but with all the healing benefits of its legendary ancestor. Bed of Nails® (BON) brings the self-healing benefits of treatments, such as acupuncture and massage, into the homes and workplaces of people everywhere to create and sustain a healthy lifestyle amid the stresses of our modern world.

Why more nails matter

Bed of Nails started the global acupressure mat movement back in 2009. Since then, we’ve worked hard to create the most comfortable and practical acupressure products on the market. How? We added more nails and made our products safe for you and for the environment.  Our round nail plates have 42 non-toxic recyclable nails rather than 25 nails like most other brands, stimulating more points with less pressure, making the experience invigorating rather than painful. This makes our products more comfortable to use while giving you more treatment.

How does Bed of Nails Work?

Bed of Nails is an excellent aid in self-treatment that helps stimulate energy in the body. While triggering the body’s innate way of healing itself, it is an effective tool for easing tension and inducing a state of deep relaxation. Bed of Nails acupressure is similar to ancient Indian Accupuncher but it does not penetrate the skin.The pressure of the rounded nails against the skin may help the body release endorphins, the body’s very own “happiness drug” which provides a sense of joy, energy and pain relief, and oxytocin, which makes you calm and relaxed (yes, it is possible to feel energetic and be relaxed at the same time!). Acupressure may alleviate a whole host of pain issues, including chronic neck and back pain, sore muscles and headaches, daily stress and even help you sleep. Everybody reacts differently to acupressure, and the effects may even vary from time to time; you may feel sleepy, alert, relaxed, happy and a clearer mind. Acupressure may also help the body rid itself of toxins, so it is important to drink water after using the Bed of Nails.

What is Bed of Nails Made of?

We have made our products safe for you and for the environment (certified REACH, RoHS). All our products use 100% non-toxic recyclable HIPS plastic. These nails are secured to the fabric with a melting process rather than environmentally damaging glue. With more nails than most other acupressure mats on the market, it allows for more treatment and more comfort. Less nails, not only provide less treatment, it is also a more painful experience as that will provide more bodyweight on each nail.

The signature BON products use 100% Organic Cotton removable cover with a PU foam insert.

How do you use Bed of Nails?

• Simply lay on the mat and let it do its magic!
• Use at bedtime for relief of back and neck pain/tension and a faster sleep.
• Use in the morning for aid in meditation.
• Step on your mat for a foot massage (Stand still – the nails will do the work). For less intensity, sit down and rest your feet on the mat.
• The BON Mat can be used in combination with the BON Pillow.
• For more intense treatment on your bed or on the floor.
• For less intensity, lean against the back of a sofa, an armchair, or against stacked up pillows in bed. (The more body weight put on the nails, the more intense the sensation).
