We have had this mat for four years now and not a day goes by where I don't lay on it. I look forward to my "mat time" every evening before bed. It's such a wonderful way to wind down and relax. It's especially nice on cold winter evenings. It helps sore muscles after a challenging workout, relieves headaches, menstrual cramps, neck stiffness, insomnia. Not sure how I lived without one of these for so long!
