Only using mats for reduce pains and gaining muscle strength through mats is not advisable.

Acupressure mats can sometimes help with temporary pain relief, especially if the pain is due to stress or muscle tension. However, it’s not a permanent solution. To address the root cause, we need to assess your posture, movement patterns, and any muscular imbalances. A direct consultation would help in understanding the issue better and planning the right treatment for you

It's not just bed , it depends on your spine , if your spine is too curved then you should use hard bed and if it's straight use soft bed

Hey!
I can understand your concern.
Add neck posture correction exercise for neck pain. Acupuncture might not help you in such case.
