Reviews Summary
Customers say these acupressure mats are initially painful but quickly become deeply relaxing. Users report the sharp spikes feel uncomfortable for the first few minutes, then transition to a warm, soothing sensation. Many mention falling asleep on the mat and experiencing improved sleep quality afterward. Customers frequently describe using the mat as part of their bedtime routine, with sessions lasting 10-20 minutes. Common feedback includes tension relief in the back and shoulders, with users noting they feel more relaxed and less stiff after use. Several mention starting with light clothing before progressing to direct skin contact. While the initial experience can be challenging, most find the adjustment period worthwhile for the relaxation benefits.

    Love it!!!

    I have been using an acupressure mat for years and loved it, but it was getting old and I wanted something bigger. I found Shakti and purchased a premium acupressure mat, level 2….. and it is amazing!! I definitely noticed a difference in intensity between my previous mat and the Shakti one, but it only took me a few times before I got used to it. I use it every night before bed while reading and it is the perfect relaxation aid. It releases my back/shoulder tension and gives me such a relaxed feeling. I would recommend Shakti mats to anyone, in fact I already recommended it to my sister :)

    Mat

    Better foam and seems like sharper spikes than the original.

    Addicted to my Shakti mat

    I couldn’t believe how much I got out of this mat, from the first session. I’ve been struggling with pain and tense muscles, and my Pilates instructor recommended the mat. I suspect I have a high pain threshold, but from the first session I got that initial brief ouch -> mmm warm -> wow this feels incredible. It makes it easier to identify the tense muscles (often where you’re feeling the ouch!) and relax them.

    I can be fidgety during meditation, but not with the Shakti mat. Because my body and mind has something to focus on, I find it much easier to be present and relax. It was only my third session when I fell asleep on my mat during meditation. Now I’m meditating first thing in the morning and before I go to bed every day. I really look forward to my time on the mat!

    I’ve even found putting my Shakti mat on my footstool under my bare feet helps me focus while I’m at my desk! This might sound like an overly enthusiastic review, but I’m usually such a skeptic of alternative tools, but this really works for me.

    I should also say the quality of the mat itself is really high. It’s probably shorter and narrower than I thought from the photos (the models are slight!) But it feels sturdy and has a satisfying weight and thickness to it. I also found the meditations on the app very good.
