Is a acupressure mat patented?

Short answer: specific designs of a acupressure mat have been patented many times, but "a acupressure mat" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What our index shows
  • 194 US and WO patent publications since 2000 have a title matching “acupressure” or a close variant (our index of 9.7 million patent families; one publication per family).

What this means for your idea

Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a acupressure mat been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Health and fitness devices are dense with sensor and wearable patents; compare the sensing method, mounting, and what feedback is given.
