A Swedish relative of mine recommended this to me a couple of years ago when I was complaining of sleeplessness, but it took me forever to actually get one. I got it back in December after Kathie Lee and Hoda did a thing on their show about the Halsa mat, and now I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner, as I could have saved myself many sleepless nights!

First using it was a bit of a shock, I must admit. It hurt more than I thought it would, but after about six or seven (agonizing) minutes, I got this warm sensation all over and the pain was gone, replaced by sleepiness. Before using my Halsa mat, it would take me anywhere from 45 minutes (on a lucky day) to 3-4 hours to fall asleep. Now I lie on the mat for about 20 minutes per night and then go straight to bed!

Even my husband, a skeptic of all things different, is a convert after I managed to talk him into trying my mat when he got a muscle spasm in his back when sleeping. He could hardly move off the bed and onto the mat, but after ten minutes he was able to move again.

I can't say enough good things about my Halsa mat, and I keep telling people to get one! You never know when you'll need it (like my husband did). Oh, and this might be silly but I love the purple color!

I searched for the Halsa Mat because I saw it on Dr. Oz (he said it would reduce cortisol and help with belly fat).
I started using it the first night after I got it. I use it on my bed. It takes some time to get used to the feel of it. I was OK lying on it with my bare skin. I could barely use it for 10 minutes the first few days. Now, 3 weeks later, I use it for 20-30 minutes, roll off and quickly fall asleep. I'm impressed that I have been sleeping so soundly. When I missed a night, I did not sleep as well.
I hope that I will eventually reduce my tummy, but even if that never happens, I love this mat and would recommend it as a great way to relax and sleep better.

I love this mat after you ease into it and your up to 20 or more minutes your really just melt away. I do this now without a shirt on to get teh whole effect. Its intense at first and yes painful but that goes away. I had my husband try it and he couldn't start off without a shirt because it was too muh at first (something they tell you in the instructions online). This mat really releases tension and stiffness. I tell everyone about it.

. that I would be dashing home to lay my body down on spikes - and woe be to anyone who gets in my way! The first week is tough to get used to the pressure/pain and definitely wear a tee shirt. You will probably be watching the clock for those 15 minutes to end. Try to concentrate on your breathing - slow deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth. After the break in period, you will start to notice all the benefits: relation, and much better sleep and energy during the day. Now doing 30 minutes without tee shirt, back and front (pad sensitive areas). Really can't imagine not doing this routine.

I have been using the mat everyday since I received it. I just wished I would of known about the pillow they make. I will be ordering that too.
I have found I have much more energy and have been sleeping better. I actually look forward to my personal sessions on this mat.

This is not perfect, but I think it has helped my back. Takes awhile to get used to. Relaxing after you get used to it.

I lay on this mat for 20-30 min. a night in bed and have had a lot of relief from back pain and fall to sleep much more quickly than I did before. It takes a little getting use to, but I wouldn't go to bed without it now. I cannot believe the difference it has made for me. Well worth the price and definitely worth trying for someone who has tried other things and didn't get the help they were looking for. It may take a few days, but it has definitely made a difference in my life. I rate it high, because it has worked for me.

I purchased this mat for relief of chronic back pain. I find that it helps relax my back muscles, relieving the tightness and tension for hours after use. I can use it several times a day whenever I want to relax. I even do my stretching exercises while lying on the mat. I always need to wear a thin T-shirt, though, to make it more comfortable.

I don't usually write reviews but just had to for this product! I have struggled with low back pain for years. I am a daycare provider so I am constantly lifting children. I have only had this mat for a few days but love it! My back has been real bad this week but after 10-15 minutes on this, it feels better. The relief is temporary but wouldn't expect it to last all day. I still go to the chiropractor and take pain meds as needed but this did bring me relief when nothing else worked! I will be using this daily from now on. I am even considering purchasing the pillow!

This product is truly amazing. I find myself looking forward to laying on my mat each night as it takes away my back tension from the day. It's so relaxing I usually fall asleep on it. I'm planning to buy the pillow next
