I’ve suffered from back pain since I was eighteen. I’ve lost track of the number of procedures I’ve had and the amount of painkillers I’ve taken over the years. Sadly, I have arthritis in my back, three prolapsed discs (thank you to the many horses I’ve fallen off in my time!) and pregnancy left me with SPD. While I still like to get on with things, I do find that some days I need a bit of help. Sitting at a desk can hurt a fair bit and I even struggle sometimes working from the couch. A few years ago I had a wonderful friend who was a sports massage therapist and I would book her regularly to come and ‘save’ my back.
Since moving to France (with no French language skills!), I struggle to even get a haircut. I wouldn’t know where to start trying to find a new sports massage therapist! So, it made me super happy when Naipo contacted me and asked if I would like to try the Naipo Shiatsu full back and neck massage cushion. I’ve tried smaller massage cushions before, but was more appealing as it can massage your lower/upper back and neck at the same time. I’m all about efficiency and time-saving.
Naipo Shiatsu full back & neck massage cushion features;
- Pin point relaxation.
- 8 deep kneading Shiatsu massage nodes move up and down, but can also target specific areas. This allows for perfect positioning of the massaging nodes right where you need them.
- Handheld remote control allows you to customise your massage.
- Vibration and heat functions – There are heat pads on the neck and back areas plus 3 levels of vibration intensity. The heat enhances blood circulation and soothes aching muscles. The seat vibration is adjustable for different levels of hip relaxation.
- Airbags around the waist and hips inflate provide a compression massage.
- The cushion is foldable, which makes transporting or storing really easy. Also, if I worked in an office I could easily take it with me.

My experience
It was so easy to set up, it’s literally useable straight out of the box. It has a sleek, black leather design, so it doesn’t look ugly hanging around your living room either.
I really liked that I had the ability to change the pressure and whether the nodes rolled or kneaded.
