Acupressure mats: Relaxation that frees body and mind
She lay awake — again. While her partner was already sleeping soundly, her thoughts kept spinning endlessly around her stressful workday. The tension in her neck throbbed, her lower back ached after hours of sitting at her desk, and sleep was out of reach. What had started as the occasional sleepless night had turned into a vicious cycle: stress led to tension, tension led to poor sleep, and poor sleep led to even more stress. Finding a natural solution seemed hopeless.
Until a friend told her about her acupressure mat. Initially skeptical, she ordered a Tunturi acupressure mat — and tried it out. Even during the very first session, she felt a pleasant warmth spreading through her back after the initial tingling sensation. After just ten minutes on the mat, she felt more relaxed than she had in weeks. Today, six months later, her daily acupressure session has become a fixed part of her evening routine. The tension has disappeared, she sleeps deeply and restfully — and finally feels balanced and full of energy again.
Experience this natural form of relaxation and well-being for yourself. With high-quality Tunturi acupressure mats from the isports range, you can bring a soothing wellness experience directly into your home — no appointments, no waiting times, available anytime for your personal moments of relaxation.
Inspired by Far Eastern balance: natural, sustainable, and soothing!
With an acupressure mat from the isports range, you bring a touch of Far Eastern relaxation culture into your home. Thousands of fine pressure points gently stimulate the skin, promote blood circulation, and can help restore harmony between body and mind. The sensation is unique: anyone who tries the mat often describes a pleasant tingling that turns into warmth and deep calm. Just a few minutes are enough to release the day’s stress — whether after an intense workout with kettlebells, hours of screen time, or simply during a break. The gentle stimulation of the skin can calm the nervous system and helps many users feel clearer, more relaxed, and less tense. Best of all: the mat requires no electricity, no preparation, and no technical know-how. Simply lie down, breathe, and let go.
Acupressure mats from the isports range stand out with their comfortable features: over 8,000 precisely placed pressure points, skin-friendly cotton covers, and ergonomic neck pillows designed to relieve the upper back and shoulder area. Many versions — such as the Eco and Pro models — use natural materials selected to provide comfort and an especially sustainable product. The mat filling made from compressed coconut fibers offers a firm, even surface that supports the body optimally while still providing gentle give. Coconut fibers are not only shape-retaining and breathable but also biodegradable — a clear advantage for sustainable design.
The pillow is filled with buckwheat hulls, which adapt flexibly to the shape of the neck and ensure even pressure distribution. This filling remains airy and stable even with regular use, making it particularly durable. Soft linen and cotton covers feel pleasant on the skin and are certified according to the international OCS standard (Organic Content Standard) — proof of controlled origin and responsible manufacturing. All components are removable and washable, ensuring easy hygiene and care in everyday life.
How to use your acupressure mat correctly
To feel the soothing effects of acupressure, correct use is essential. Start by placing the mat on a soft surface — such as a bed, sofa, or yoga mat — and begin with thin clothing or a T-shirt. This allows your skin to gradually get used to the pressure. After a few sessions, you can increase the intensity — for example, by placing the mat on a firmer surface or using it directly on the skin. Ideally, use the mat daily for about 10 to 20 minutes. The rule is: regular and relaxed is more effective than rare and intense. Use the mat in the evening to unwind after the day — or after training to loosen muscles and support recovery.
One of the major benefits of an acupressure mat is its flexibility: you choose the position that feels best and the areas you want to target.
- Lying on your back: for relaxation across the entire back and loosening the shoulders.
- Sitting: in a chair or on the sofa to gently support the lower back.
- Standing: barefoot on the mat to stimulate the soles of the feet and reflex zones.
- With a neck pillow: specifically for the neck and shoulder area.
Use the acupressure mat in whatever way best suits your daily needs.
When to be cautious
Acupressure mats are generally well tolerated. However, if you have skin conditions, open wounds, or very sensitive skin, you should avoid using them. If you have cardiovascular conditions, unusual blood pressure, or take blood thinners, consult your doctor beforehand. During pregnancy — especially in the second trimester — you should avoid using an acupressure mat, as pressure on certain body zones may stimulate the release of oxytocin.
