General information

The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The Body&Mind® acupressure mat is carefully packaged. The sturdy cardboard box offers sufficient protection during transportation. Although unnecessary packaging waste has been avoided, the use of plastic film could possibly be a point of criticism for some consumers. The packaging only contains the acupressure mat in size L, although a carrying bag is mentioned in the product description. As the product is largely self-explanatory, there are no instructions for use. However, instructions, e.g. on the duration of use, would be helpful.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

The acupressure mat has 7,140 “nail tips” over an area of 75 x 42 cm, which ensure an even distribution of pressure. The stimulation creates a multifaceted experience: a stimulating and energizing sensation that has a regenerating and relaxing effect. Among other things, the product can help to alleviate a wide range of ailments. The mat is simply rolled out for use and is ready for immediate use. However, positioning the head is problematic without an additional pillow, which is why we recommend purchasing the set with pillow. Cleaning the mat is easy. Wiping with lukewarm water is sufficient. The removable cover can also be washed in the washing machine. The only point of criticism is the closure with a non-continuous Velcro fastener, which can potentially allow dirt to penetrate the inside. Customers can currently choose between two different product sizes and purchase the mat with or without a cushion .

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*
Price / performance ratioVery good90 points
Rating cut4.5 out of 5.0 on Amazon75 points
Total83 points
Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, customers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. Some customers complain about the initial pain and the workmanship of the foam filling. The effectiveness of the acupressure and the ease of use are positively emphasized.

Prices of over €100 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available for as little as €12 . The acupressure mat from Body&Mind® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €19.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
