I lay on a bed of nails for 15 minutes every day for a week — here’s what happened to my body

Before you ask, no I did not subject myself to lying on an actual bed of nails for a week.

I’ve collected a fair number of the best yoga mats over the years but I had never heard of an acupressure mat until I received one as a gift for my birthday a couple of years ago. Various brands are selling this style of acupressure mat, but the particular one I received was bought from a brand called Bed of Nails.
