VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada (jan. 28, 2011): Spoonk Space announces its latest line of innovative and eco-friendly hemp acupressure mats to the U.S. and Canadian markets. The new line offers an even more environmentally conscious product to its already eco-friendly original line of mats. This ethical decision made by Spoonk Space is sure to garner much appreciation by the growing community of consumers who are purchasing ethical and environmentally-friendly products.
A recent report on green living revealed that more than one-third (35%) of survey respondents say they would be willing to pay more for environmentally friendly products. This green movement has encouraged retailers to embrace products that are both ethical and earth-conscious, and the decision has not gone unrewarded. Retailers who offer eco-friendly products enjoy the benefit of increasing their customer base. With so many retailers yet to realize the value of carrying green products, stores that do offer eco-friendly items reap the benefits of having exclusive customers.
Internationally acclaimed Spoonk acupressure mats offer consumers a natural way to relieve stress and sleep better by utilizing ancient health practices that have provided effective relief for centuries. According to the Better Sleep Council (BSC), 65% of Americans are losing sleep due to stress. However, this problem is not going unchallenged, as a recent study revealed that 64% of Americans say they are taking steps to reduce stress in their lives, offering retailers an opportunity to provide a stress relief outlet that caters to this need.
Spoonk acupressure mats help stressed out and sleep deprived users improve their quality of life by employing acupressure techniques to stimulate specific reflex points throughout the body that release blocked energy, ease tense muscles and create deep mental and physical relaxation.

The new Spoonk product line will be available in 100% organic hemp and a blend of organic cotton and hemp. Hemp’s antibacterial, antifungal properties make it the best choice of fabric for skin contact on the mat. Also hemp is grown without the use of pesticides, harsh chemicals and requires significantly less water to grow than cotton making it the best sustainable choice for the environment. The mat also contains a made in the USA state-of-the-art eco-foam using a variable pressure method devoid of off-gassing and fire retardant chemicals and uses no adhesive glue.
