Is there a big difference in this one (ranked #2 on amazon "acupuncture") and the $60 mat ranked #1?

I don't know, but this thing is hardcore like a bed of nails. I couldn't handle it for long

I think the main difference is in the materials. Some of the more expensive mats are made from organic cotton and natural foam. Some do not use plastic for the flowers. This can be very important to people with sensitives. I do suffer from multiple chemical sensitives and would prefer an organic cotton mat without plastic, but I can honestly say that this mat has never caused me to react after I let it air out.

I've done it both ways and really a nice thick mat is soooooo much nicer on your joints and less slippery than carpet. I'm older (55) so being nice to my joints makes sense. Mine is about 3/4 inch thick black puzzle mat that I got here on Amazon. I bought two sets and put them together to make a larger area. Well worth the $. The thin yoga mats really only help with the slipping part.

Judy, the "pad" that has come with these $59.99 "rubber" mats has been a kind of "slip cover" (like the pillow case on a pillow. It's thin, and designed to make the mat feel more comfortable to bare skin. I would probably not describe this pad as "plush", but it certainly does the job, and I've had no discomfort whatsoever with my bare legs on this covering. I feel it's a very good unit, and likely to be longer wearing than some of the other Earthing devices, such as the "half sheets" or full sheets. They're made of cotton with the metallic fibers in them, and my guess is that they're probably not as durable as the "rubber" mat with slip cover that you are considering. In my judgement, well worth the money. I sleep better with my legs on one, have used Earthing products for 3 or 4 years now. Charles ND, PhD helpingtohealclinic@iw.net .

My yoga mats are not expensive either, I think I paid between $8 and $15 for them. When mine started getting slippery I would just buy a new one but now I use the slip free rosin and it pretty much takes care of it. I'm a little weird about the chalky feeling but I wash my hands immediately after yoga and I'm fine. It is definitely worth it.

Hi, I found no difference whatsoever! I alternate between the 2 of them depending on which one is cheaper! Hope that helps! :)

Go to their website but it's usually cheaper through Amazon. I was having some issues and noticed a difference after taking this product, found it very helpful.

it's great and very cushy, as long as you are not doing hot yoga. If you are it gets slippery with perspiration. I tried my Gaiam mat a few times, then ended up splurging on one of those expensive Lululemon ones.

There is no difference between the two, besides the price. The one you linked is actually overpriced. Both similar grades and similar scales from the same company.

My treadmill is on the 2nd floor on bamboo. The mat has helped with vibrations & noise from my running. My husband has commented that it is quieter downstairs than when it was just on the bare floor. If I was buying a second one I would get the thicker mat.

We bought the 2nd one for my husbands boss but he ended up needing it sooner so we have him mine. No difference. Both awesome. I actually only need it once in a while now so I know it works. Strongly suggest you do it 15 min. At least at first. I actually fell asleep on it several times. Really relieved my pain. Good luck!

Good question! I didn't realize the difference myself until I received my orders. The 60-732-1449 has a very unobtrusive "welcome" message along the bottom border, which I couldn't see in the online photo; the 60-764-1029 does not (can't now remember why I ordered one of each, though). Since the "welcome" wasn't glaring or cheesy, I opted to keep the mat and put it at my front door. I will probably still be ordering one more of these mats (I live in the desert southwest and have lots of entrances), but will order the -1029.I have had these mats for several months now, am still delighted with them, and highly recommend them.

I believe one of the big differences is the maximum temperatures you can employ. Another is the seven (7) year warranty. P.S. These mats really do work great! Hope this helps...

Yes, i have used the Heavenly acupressure mat and must say I love it.I had lower back pain and muscle tension and now lye . I noticed immediate pain relief with an added benefit of better sleep. Highly recommend acupressure mats! Heavenly Acupressure Mat - Blue! Also, in 1997, a study was done by Dr. Zilberter using acupressure mats which resulted in 98% of the 126 participants reporting pain relief when they used acupressure mats. They work!!!

There doesn't appear to be any difference, even in the price. Both ship from the same place, too. Probably the same product with a different name?

I had to go back and read my review of this product. The bottom line from my review is that there are far cheaper products than this that use the Longvida TM product. If you notice, there are those who got great results from the curcumin product. I was not one of them. As you may notice, there are those like me who have not gotten the expected benefit of curcumin. To help those people, I suggested a product from Swanson which is half the cost of this curcumin. The product is called PQQ. It is a natural B vitamin derivative that has improved my health in multiple areas.

I can't compare the two because I onl bought the one product. I can tell you I bought this product for the extra thickness compared to other mats I looked at.

After reading both descriptions I can't really see any difference in the two. So you may want to get the cheaper one and plan on ordering a decent set if strings, I like Helicore's or zyex, but I play fiddle music. Also get some better rosin, at under 10 dollars it's a good investment. Kaplan is good. I also had to upgrade the tail piece because the fine tuners they sent would hold my strings. That was another $20. If you are just learning the bows might last awhile, but you are eventually going to want a better bow too.
