Sharp spikes = effective acupressure. Anything less and you’re missing the point.

Behind the design
Frequently asked questions
The Premium Mat is the modern version of the Indian bed of nails, an ancient healing tool that relieves inner tension. Lying on the mat applies targeted pressure that promotes the release of feel-good hormones and unlocks tension in tight muscles. Just like acupuncture, each spike also stimulates specific points to help boost circulation.
The Premium Pillow amplifies every acupressure session with targeted relief in every hard-to-reach curve. It has double the coverage of the Classic Pillow to release stress from the back of your head to the top of your shoulders. Its recycled Blissfoam™ fill is dense, plush, and mouldable, so you can tuck it behind your achy back or into your achy sides.
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 it to release tension throughout your body.
To help you make the most of our Premium Mat & Pillow, download our free app – Shakti Shala. The welcome series eases you through the initial discomfort, while expert tutorials and guided meditations help you feel the benefits faster and make the most of your downtime.

A little, but only 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 is the perfect place to start. Expect a gentle balance of initial sensation and deep release. Ideal for anyone new to acupressure.
Level 2 is for the bold. Fewer spikes means more initial discomfort, so commit to pushing through to unlock a deeper release.
Level 3 is for the brave. Expect serious sensation upfront, with plenty of reward if you can handle it.
Level 4: Limited Edition is only for the experienced. Our most intense spikes ever – perfect if you're craving more from your advanced Shakti practice.

Hand in hand with the mat.
- John S.Verified Buyer11 hours agoRated 1 out of 5 stars5 star quality - 1 star experience
Have been using shakti level 2 and other brand level 1 mat for nearly 7 years and actually sleep on another brands level 1 mat nightly. Switched to level 1 Shakti because the quality is second to none however the sharpness of the spikes is objectively far too much for the L1. No quality complaints just personal opinion
SMShakti Mats1 hour agoHi John! Thanks for sharing your experience with us! We're sorry to hear that you found the Level 1 Shakti Mat too intense. If you'd like to ease into the experience, you could try using a thin layer of clothing between yourself and the Mat to soften the sensation.
However, if you feel it's not the right fit for you, please feel free to reach out to us at contact@shaktimat.com. Our support team will be happy to assist you with a return for a full refund within our 60-day return window. We appreciate you giving Shakti a try. - Pam B.Verified Buyer2 days agoRated 4 out of 5 starsMat
So far so good. Way less painful than I was expecting! I've only tried it twice so far. The first time was seeing what works best. Just finished 2nd try now. I used it (bare skin) right upon waking, while my bed was still warm. I relaxed on it for over half an hour, just in the dark silence. When I first laid on it I could feel my pulse in my back, but as time went on my pulse and breathing slowed. Now, Im finished with this session and am relaxing in bed enjoying the warm, cozy sensation in my back. Excited to feel other benefits!
- Pam B.Verified Buyer2 days agoRated 1 out of 5 starsPillow
I don't like to use it under my head, as I turn my head side to side. The spikes make this uncomfortable to do. I will however find another use for it, such as under my legs.
SMShakti Mats1 hour agoHey Pam, thanks for the honest feedback! Everyone finds their own way of enjoying Shakti, and we're glad you're giving it a go in other ways. If you have any questions or need help with anything else, feel free to reach out to us at contact@shaktimat.com. We'd be happy to help!
- ChloeVerified Buyer3 days agoRated 5 out of 5 starsBoth comfy and effective
This pillow is both soft and cushy, yet supportive enough to allow the pressure from my head to interact well with the spikes. I also like using it underneath my knees/hamstrings while I’m using my mat. It does not tug at my hair, but I do try to be gentle and slow when I lift my head up to minimize any snagging.
