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 Mat, 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 first few minutes of lying on spikes is the hardest thing you’ll do. After that, you’ll wonder why you didn’t get on them sooner. We developed the world’s only acupressure mat app from scratch to make it as easy as possible, so you can leapfrog the initial discomfort and double the benefits of your Shakti Mat.
WHAT MAKES CLASSIC, CLASSIC
TRIED AND TRUE INNER
Lightweight and hypoallergenic—this is the foam that put the Shakti Mat on the map. It’s thoroughly tested to ensure all the benefits of acupressure, day after day, year after year.
ORGANIC COTTON OUTER
Soft enough to lie on for hours, strong enough to last a lifetime. Developed with nothing but your wellbeing in mind. Responsibly-dyed, GOTS-certified, and hand stitched.
PRECISION-ENGINEERED SPIKES
The sharper the better, and regardless of which level you choose, ours are the sharpest around. Guaranteed to get to the point, by nestling into tension and activating your acupoints instantly.
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. Lying down with the Mat under your back and shoulders is perfect, but you can use the Mat to target tension anywhere throughout your body.
Combining Shakti with yoga and meditation—either seated or through poses like sphinx and pigeon—can also help incorporate acupressure into your recovery or wellbeing routine.
To make it easy you’ll receive access to the world’s only acupressure mat app with purchase, unlocking the ability to double your Shakti benefits in minutes.

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. -
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.

Our Shakti Mat is made with our tried and true inner—the foam that put us on the map. It’s thoroughly tested to ensure all the benefits of acupressure, day after day, year after year. It’s completed with a durable organic cotton outer and a twin self-fastening closure.
Shakti Premium Mats contain our all-new plush Blissfoam™ fill that’s organic and plant-based. It’s soft enough to sink into, firm enough to push back—perfect for getting each spike into deep tension. It’s completed with a stronger, yet softer organic cotton outer, finished with rounded edges, piped seams, and discreet YKK® zippers.

- Kevin H.Verified Buyer14 hours agoRated 5 out of 5 starsPainful, yet Five stars
It doesn't make sense to me. It hurts, so I focus on breathing until I actually relax. After around 15 minutes I feel good and go to bed and sleep well.
- Katie W.Verified Buyer17 hours agoRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat Mat
I've really enjoyed using this mat and can tell an major decrease in the stress I hold in my shoulders after using it for about 20 minutes.

I am still adjusting to the mat. The first 5-10 min feel pretty intense but then everything starts to feel tingly. I haven’t had a “bliss” moment yet but I will keep trying , many of my friends really love it. Peeling off the mat is a bit rough. I always feel a sense of accomplishment that I’ve managed to stay on it for 20 minutes. I have a feeling that I’m going to eventually love it!
SMShakti Mat USA14 minutes agoHi Shea, Thanks for sharing! You might find it more comfortable to try the Mat while wearing a thin t-shirt. When getting off, try rolling gently to one side before standing up; it makes it much easier.

Just one deep breath and it brings me in a deep state of relaxation. Just 20 minutes almost everyday and i'm like a newborn human. Thank you Shakti and team!
- Katrina T.Verified Buyer2 days agoRated 4 out of 5 starsMat is great, pillow is even better
If I hadn’t gotten the pillow, I probably would have rated the mat five stars. I really like the mat, but find the shape of the pillow helps push the spikes further into my legs. I also wish the mat was a bit longer. It has been great to stand on.
SMShakti Mat USA4 minutes agoHi Katrina, Thanks so much for your honest feedback! You can try placing a rolled towel or foam roller under the Pillow to make it firmer. The Mat is standardized in size, so you can use it on different body parts or combine two Mats or Mat & Pillow to cover the larger areas.
