The mat is great. After a hard day at work, i love to go lie down on it for 15-20 mins. There have been times i felt asleep on it for like 1-2 hours. But obviously not the full night. I call it a magic mat. We are selling it here in Malaysia.Ours is called Prana Nail Mat.

They just nap on it? That’s good to know. The NY Times article doesn’t mention that.

It is a tradition I think which was formed initially in Japan and China (sleeping on floors or hard floors) and eastern cultures. India and Japan had a history of eating on floor but for the arrogants to the west it was something to be mocked at and insulted. China gave birth to acu pressure and reflexology, India pranas and energy centers of body, so this is inspired from both

If you’d done your homework you’d know that people don’t actually sleep on the spike mats, they rest on it for half an hour or more to relieve stress and muscle tension. I don’t know of anyone that intentionally sleeps on it though.
It is really relaxing but I doubt anyone will be giving up their soft mattresses for the spike mat, I sure wouldn’t.

Maybe they would want to swap a Tempurpedic mattress with us if we could give them one of those spiky mats?

If we can have pressure points under our sole, then why not on the body too.
But I would not trade this for my cozy bed

if we work a little hard, we could market the airplane as a giant pushpaka vimaan.
