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.

    Extra spiky support

    As someone new to Shakti, I was drawn to it from a standpoint of trying something different. I don't have chronic pain and am a fit 40 something male. I played high-level sport for over 20 years (as close to professional for an amateur sport) and continue to remain somewhat fit - but was looking for an accompanying aspect to compliment my weekly training and aid recovery.

    I went all in and got the pillow and the mat from the outset and while the pillow initially required a bit of shuffling about to get it in the right spot (the moving about probably causes the most discomfort!) I found that when I tried doing a session without the pillow, I felt I was missing something. While sometimes tricky to find the sweet-spot on the back of your head, the post-session feeling was definitely worth it and I feel that it's a great complimentary piece.

    I don't profess it's anything game-changing but I definitely feel that it adds an alternative recovery and is a positive addition.

    Neck and Shoulder Relief

    I’ve just started using the spikey pillow - both with a mat and on its own. I love it! I find it helps me to release tension in my neck and shoulders… it’s firm enough to allow me to focus the pressure right where I want it. My new go-to after a long day!

    Ontspanning

    Als je dit verteld geloven en hoop mensen je niet, maar het is echt ontspannend en helpt me van mijn stijve nek af

    Best pillow ever!

    Works just as it advertises. I have found this to be great for reducing the tightness in my neck and shoulders. I am a jaw clencher and work at my desk 40 hours per week. Since starting to use it 2 weeks ago I have found that I am nowhere near as hunched and clenched as normal. It is reducing my neck and shoulder plain. Love this for 20mins a day while reading a book. Thoroughly recommend this becoming part of your routine.
