Spoonk Space is a community of friends that have been involved in the health food industry, preventive medicine and human potential movement for 35 years. Their name was inspired by Pippi Longstocking, the fictional children’s character who had superhuman strength, boundless energy and a love for life. "Spoonk" is their version of "spunk," a word Pippi created. The mat is currently in clinical sleep trials at UBC, Vanc. with a prominent sleep researcher.   Here is a couple of tips: Put a rolled up towel in the carry-bag and use it as a bolster - put it under the mat where you want to create more stimulation - to target specific areas.  I like to put a bolster under the mat vertically for a extra stimulation up & down the total spinal column - fantastic.
Stand on the mat (alway with socks on!) while you brush your teeth in morning. or while doing dishes - super energizing.

When I first received my Spoonk Space Acupressure Massage Mat I tried to stand on it but could not do it more than about 5 seconds. Each day, I have increased my time though. Next, I tried to lay down nude on it but could only take it for 3 minutes on my back and 5 minutes on my tummy(make sure your breasts are above the little spikes).  So, I put my t-shirt on and then laid down on it and actually fell asleep for about 1 1/2 hours. The next day, I started again with my feet but put socks on and could handle it alot better. At night, I decided to try again nude for direct contact and was able to stay on my back for 5 minutes and on my stomach for 15. I then decided to get brave and try it on my face. I could stay on my face(had to keep my ear covered with a cloth) for a full 15 minutes on each side. I am gradually increasing my times each day.
I can honestly say, I actually slept better when I sleep on it(with t-shirt on) than I can ever remember. I have a memory mattress and water pillows but when I put this little mat under me, I wake up not sore or tired feeling. I have even started using it on my head(I don't know if that is recommended or not but it feels so good). I will be trying it on my legs also because I have RLS and am pre-diabetic which means poor circulation in my legs. I will be updating this post in a few more days to let you know if there is a difference there or not.
Update: I still haven't yet tried using it on my legs as I love laying on it on my back. I absolutely do not sleep nearly as well when I don't use it. I wake in the morning aching. I won't do that again but I needed to see if there was going to be a difference of sleeping on it all night or not. Yes, there definately is! As of yet, I still can not lie for more than 5 minutes nude on it though. I am still wearing my t-shirt for it. I am definately going to try my legs tonight though.
Update: I am now laying naked on the Spoonk Space Accupressure Massage Mat! Wow...it feels amazing! I can't believe just how much better I wake up feeling. My back doesn't hurt in the morning and when it starts hurting in the evenings, I just go and lay down on my mat for 15 minutes and I feel so much relief. It actually becomes quite addictive...you know it's going to make you feel better so you can't wait to use it. As for my legs, I have been able to get a full night of sleep without them jerking and waking me up. Yes, it has helped with my legs also but I haven't worked up to 30 minutes yet but I will get there with them just as I did my back, stomach and face!

I learned that the Spoonk mat is based on the principles of the Indian bed of nails and Japanese shiatsu massage.
