This is an acupressure mat.
Linked to Del Monte Y Mar’s Tuesdays of Texture Challenge Week 41 of 2016
I actually have the acupressure foot board (well it is plastic – and it has magnets) and here is what it looks like – my mother gave this to us on her last visit in June – and I think it designed to “stimulate circulation” and bring oxygen flow throughout the body. We have not noticed any differences at our place. This kit had a “thumb acupressure” piece, but she did not have that anymore so I could not try it out.
Here are the sheets that came with the acupressure foot board:
Well I think we all prefer the old-fashioned. classic type of massage!
have a great day
and peace out.

I have never seen anything like that in my life and I think if anyone tried to treat me with something like that, I’d run in the opposite direction. It looks very … ouch!
Thanks for sharing this curious texture with us!

Thanks Nanami = well I guess if you lie down on it – it will touch certain acupuncture spots – and it was on one of Oprah’s lists so I guess she liked it.
Not too sure, but the foot board my mother gave us only feels ouch – feels like spiky plastic – ha!

My mum has acupressure slippers – I almost got holes under my feet they were so sharp. I wonder if it is meant to be like that? Nice cartoons and loved your signature 🙂

I guess some places 9especially in India) have people use feet – as they walk and stand – hmmmmm

I don’t think I’d like it, I wriggle too much in my sleep!

ha! well I think it is used in sessions and then you can stop using it – and so you could still have that foam mattress topper…. 🙂

It actually looks painful, but I bet it does the trick! I had to laugh at that cartoon about the ‘sensitive spot’ – I have one on my neck where and odd nerve is out of place and I have been known to go through the roof like that if someone touches it! 😀

thanks for your comment on that particular comic author Di – because I know two people who have exactly what you described – and to hear that you have that too makes me glad I added it in..

I’d rather sleep on a straw mattress 🙂 The same effect.
