Reviews Summary
Customers say this acupressure pillow creates initial discomfort followed by deep relaxation, with many falling asleep during use. They find it versatile for targeting neck, shoulders, head, and other body areas. Users report the spikes provide a massage-like sensation that helps release tension and improve sleep quality. Many appreciate using it alongside mats for complete relaxation sessions. Common feedback includes an adjustment period of several days to weeks before experiencing full comfort. Some mention the pillow works better without clothing for maximum effect. A few users with thicker hair find the spikes less effective on the scalp, while others prefer different intensity levels or pillow shapes for their needs.

    Pillow

    I like the pillow doesn’t bother me in the least. Not sure if I’m feeling anything from it though. Just not sure about it yet

    Shakti Pillow - not sure

    I purchased the pillow as the rolled version was not available (to match the mat colour). In hindsight the rolled version would have been better for me as creates more pressure.

    Hi Julie, thanks for sharing your feedback.
    We’re sorry the Classic Acupressure Pillow wasn’t available in a matching colour. If you’d still like to try it, you’re welcome to reach out, and we’ll help you with an exchange within 60 days.

    Melts neck tension

    I found it easier to get used to than the mat (which was 100% worth pushing through by the way). The pillow is amazingly effective at releasing the tension in my upper neck and base of my skull. An intense minute or two that gives way to a warmth and relaxation that no massage pillow has ever accomplished. I was on the fence about adding the pillow to my mat order but I’m glad I did.

    Very spikey!

    I started with a cheap acupressure mat and was completely comfortable on it, so I thought I was ready for the Level 2. These spikes are sharper than anything else! Great quality and the cushy inner layer softens the blow a bit, and the spikes are a better shape for avoiding breakage compared to the curved Pranamat spikes. Very happy - but still working up to a full session on the Level 2! I’ve been able to get a good night’s sleep for the first time in six months despite only being able to handle a few minutes laying on the mat - the pillow is great behind the neck/lower back while sitting if you’re brave.

    Aaahhh…

    The pillow is nice with the mat — my whole scalp feels relaxed. 😌
