In the beginning it feels like lying on spikes, but after a few minutes it feels as relaxing as a massage. It’s not magic, it’s acupressure—an ancient practice that’s been around for thousands of years. Expect thousands of hours of relief whenever you need it.
We get it, shopping for spikes to relax on is tricky when you can’t try them first. If Shakti isn’t right for you, you can return or exchange yours within 60 days. That being said, only 1 in every 271 customers returns their Pillow, so we’re confident you’ll be converted too.
We’re not relaxed until you are. Everything we make is guaranteed from day one, and we’ll fix or replace anything faulty on arrival.
The world's first acupressure mat app. Get the skills and guidance you need to make the Shakti work for you. Overcome beginner barriers and get the Shakti benefits faster.

What you need to know
-
• Tension-free muscles
• Increased circulation
• Mental clarity
• Calm and focus
• Deeper sleep
• An ongoing sense of wellbeing -
The most popular way to Shakti is in bed, before sleep. Using the Pillow as an extension of your Shakti Mat lets you target your neck and get even more relaxation from your downtime. Its shape is also perfect for releasing tension in hard-to-reach curves.
20 minutes is all you need for each spike to work its magic. To make it easy, you’ll receive free access to the world’s only acupressure mat app with purchase.
-
Will it hurt? Yes. But only for a little in the beginning.
Each spike responds to tension in your body, so more tension = more sensation. The initial “Ouch!” you feel activates your body’s pain response and tells it to send happiness hormones and pain-relief chemicals to the area you’re targeting. If those spikes aren’t sharp enough—or you’re beyond relaxed already—you won’t feel much.
After a few minutes, the tingling sensation fades into a deep, relaxing warmth. The redness is purely a circulation boost. You might even fall asleep.
-
There are two things to consider when looking at intensities:
1. Acupressure is personal
2. Shakti spikes are much sharper than anything else out there.Like the firmness of a mattress or the pressure of a massage—acupressure is the opposite of ‘one size fits all’. If you go too far in the beginning you’re less likely to build a solid habit. It’s why we offer three intensities that all unlock the benefits of acupressure.
Level 1
Lying on spikes is weird, so we made sure this is the perfect place to start. Expect a balance of initial discomfort and deep release. Ideal for anyone new to acupressure.Level 2
For the bold and brave. Fewer spikes = more discomfort, so commit to pushing through to unlock the deeper release on the other side if you are contemplating Level 2.Level 3
Our deepest release isn’t the last stop on your journey—it’s only for the most experienced. Expect a serious sensation to start, with plenty of reward if you can handle it. -
Blissfoam™
• 100% plant-based foam
• Organic in Premium Mats, recycled in Premium Pillows

• Cradles your body and molds each spike into deep tension for a next-level release.Classic
• The same stuffing used in bedding and furniture
• Lightweight
• Hypoallergenic
• Tried and tested to ensure all the benefits of acupressure -
Where acupuncture uses needles to pierce the skin, acupressure uses spikes to press against it. The key difference with a Shakti Mat is that you can activate multiple acupoints in as many seconds as it takes to lie on them, and you don’t need to book an appointment either.

- Wade H.Verified Buyer14 hours agoRated 3 out of 5 starsI want to love it.
So far I haven’t been able to do more than two minutes or so on the map not sure I am doing it right there is a bit of a learning curve. I am guessing my tendency to want to move to adjust to get into that comfortable position makes it feel like my skin is ripping, but will continue to try and update the review with my findings
SMShakti Mat USA27 minutes agoHi Wade, thanks for sharing your experience. It can take a little time to settle in, so starting slow and staying still can really help. You might find our guided sessions useful for tips and positioning: https://www.shaktishala.io/browse
- Caroline T.Verified Buyer22 hours agoRated 5 out of 5 starsSo relaxing.
There is an initial ‘ouch’ factor but after a couple of minutes, you don’t really feel the pain anymore. I feel this wave of relaxation come over me and it feels great! You can also tell that the mat is made from high quality materials as well. Great product!
- Aislinn N.Verified BuyerYesterdayRated 5 out of 5 starsIn love!
I don't use this pillow as much as the standard one, but I am obsessed with the Shakti mat and pillows. I kept seeing the ads and I was curious so I eventually bought some stuff on impulse. I'm so glad I did! They are so satisfying and enjoyable to use and my incredibly tense back and shoulder muscles are much improved. I love Shakti!

De eerste dagen vond ik dit kussen verschrikkelijk pijnlijk en vroeg ik me af of ik het verkeerde type kussen had gekocht. Is echt wel wennen aan die harde spijkers in je nek; voelde een beetje folterachtig in het begin. Maar het blijkt een 'acquired taste' - door het regelmatig te gebruiken wen je eraan. Na de initiële pijn volgt een golf van ontspanning. Ik heb de neiging om mijn hoofd dan telkens weer een beetje te verleggen op het kussen, waarna er weer pijn volgt, met dan weer ontspanning op een andere plek.
Dit kussen helpt ook heel snel als mijn nek geblokkeerd zit, om de spierspanning los te laten en weer meer bewegingsvrijheid te hebben. Ik gebruik het kussen soms apart, los van de mat, als ik snel even een rustmomentje wil om wat fysieke spanning uit mij te laten wegstromen.

Werkt diep ontspannend; op werkdagen voel ik de dag nadien nog het effect doordat ik rustiger blijf onder stress. Goed om opgebouwde spanning in het lichaam los te laten. Heeft ook mentaal een relaxerend effect - ik merk dat er tijdens een ligsessie op de mat vaak lastige herinneringen naar boven komen, die ik dan rustig kan laten passeren en loslaten in plaats van erover te blijven malen met mijn gedachten.
De pijn valt goed mee - niveau 2 ervaar ik niet als pijnlijk (dit is mijn eerste mat).
