FAQ

Everything you might want to know before your first ten minutes on the mat.

What does it actually feel like?

The first minute is sharp — that's normal. Within a couple of minutes the sharpness turns into a spreading warmth as circulation increases, and most people feel their shoulders and back start to soften. Intense at first, then surprisingly calming.

Does it hurt?

There's a sharp sensation when you first lie down on bare skin. It eases quickly. If you're new to acupressure, start through a thin t-shirt and build up to direct contact. You're always in control — get on and off whenever you like.

How do I use it, and for how long?

Lie back on the mat and rest your neck on the pillow for ten to twenty minutes a day. Bare back for full intensity, or through a thin layer to ease in. Many people use it in the evening to wind down, or in the morning as part of a routine.

What's it made of?

A natural linen cover over a firm coconut-fibre core, with thousands of cream lotus-shaped pressure points. No batteries, no charging — fully mechanical. Made with OEKO-TEX® certified materials and built to hold its shape and firmness through years of daily use.

How is it different from a cheap acupressure mat?

Budget mats use thin foam and soft plastic spikes that flatten within months — most end up unused in a drawer. Restora uses natural linen, a firmer core and precision pressure points designed to keep their shape and stay effective with daily use.

What's included, and what does it cost?

The set includes the mat, the matching neck pillow and a linen storage bag, for £99. Free UK shipping, and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What if it isn't for me?

Use it every day for 30 days. If it hasn't earned a place in your routine, send it back for a full refund. (Acupressure mats aren't recommended during pregnancy, or if you have a bleeding disorder, take blood thinners, or have fragile or broken skin — check with your GP if you're unsure.)
