Back Pain Keeping You Up at Night? Your Mattress Could Be the Answer
Night back pain keeping you awake? You’re not alone. Back pain is a common condition. In the UK it affects 7 out of 10 people at some point in their lives. If you’re trying to get 8 hours or more of shut-eye each night, this can seem like an impossible feat if your back is giving you grief.
If back pain is worse at night, your mattress could be exacerbating the issue. Upgrading your mattress could be the answer. An old mattress that is too firm or soft isn’t a good ally for your back. If your muscles aren’t supported in the right way, they will become tense and work overtime, which can result in back and neck ache.

Which Shakti Mat Should I Buy?
If you’re thinking of tapping into the acupressure benefits of a Shakti Mat, you’ll want to know which may be right for you. There are several options with varying levels of spikiness. Which mat you should choose most likely depends on your discomfort tolerance. The first four minutes are the real challenge, but once you break through this time frame, the pay off should be felt in your muscles.
If you’re a complete beginner with acupressure mats, we would recommend the lighter spikes. You’ll still get all the benefits of the Shakti ‘tingle’, but it is a more manageable sensation. You can train your body to acclimatise to the spikes before moving onto a more intense mat.
