The first Shakti Mats and Pillows put us on the map with over 30K 5-star reviews. They proved that lying on spikes to unwind can be more relaxing than a massage. This latest edition improves on everything you and our community love about the ancient wellness practice that is acupressure.
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 premium premium
PRECISION-ENGINEERED SPIKES
Sharp spikes = effective acupressure. Anything less and you’re missing the point. Our latest spikes are our best yet, and they’ll nestle into tension and activate your acupoints instantly.
ORGANIC COTTON OUTER
Soft, spongey organic Blissfoam™ inners are now protected by a stronger, yet softer, GOTS-certified outer. Perfect for maximising the effect of each spike. Responsibly dyed and stitched by hand with no toxic chemicals or compromise.
FINER DETAILS
Self-fastening closures and visible seams have been replaced with rounded corners, piped edges, and a discreet YKK® zipper. A light organic cotton slip protects the organic Blissfoam™ inner. Separating them to clean the outer is simple.
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. -
• 100% plant-based foam
• Processed under the industry’s leading organic standard
• Encased in organic cotton for natural rubber sensitivities
• Cradles your body for next-level tension release -
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.

“The ultimate at home wellbeing aid”

Lovely product 👌
- Anaiah M.Verified Buyer3 days agoReviewingShakti Premium Acupressure MatRated 5 out of 5 starsNot prepared
I was not prepared for how beloved this mat would be in my life. The first ten minutes were hard and then I was overwhelmed by euphoria. Now I have a bit of a tolerance to it and immediately feel relaxed when I lay on it. Perhaps it was luck but the week after I bought it I strained my shoulder. I don’t injure easily but my neck and shoulder were in terrible shape and I spent the weekend laying on my mat on and off and it was the only thing that brought me relief. Thank you!

Wow! I’m not going to lie, the first 2 minutes were pretty uncomfortable and I was wondering how long I could endure it but then the discomfort subsided and was replaced with warmth and relaxation which lasted several hours afterwards. It’s still an initial shock but I absolutely love it.
- Brooke S.Verified Buyer3 days agoReviewingShakti Premium Acupressure MatRated 4 out of 5 starsLove it just wish it was wider and longer
I went full in and bought the level 3 mat bundled with the pillow. Absolutely love the mat, just wish it was slightly wider and longer so I could use it from head to toe (or neck to toe since I have the pillow) including being able to rest my arms and hands on it . That said it’s a very high quality mat and folds away neatly when not in use, and I am very happy with my purchase.
SMShakti Mats3 days agoHi Brooke, thanks for your feedback. We have a standard size in The Mats that has been designed to target one specific body part at a time, but if you want to use it from head to toe, you can use the two Mats by placing both vertically or in a T shape. We will definitely pass on your feedback to the product development team.

Having read the various "ouch" cautionary notes, I was expecting to find my first experience of my Shakti mat (and complementary Shakti pillow) to be quite unpleasant at best. It was however a mild revelation. Aside from the initial internal debate about how best to approach the mat, which angle to take, to roll on sideways, or gingerly lower myself inch by inch, the reality was surprisingly painless. I took a few deep breaths when my skin first encountered the nobbly little spikes (yep, I went straight in with bare skin on my virgin voyage) but it didn't cause me any pain, just very mild discomfort initially. Within a short space of time, I had nodded off to sleep, perhaps only for a few minutes but I spent more than 20 minutes on the mat that first time.
The next time was a whole other chapter...within a few moments I was snoozing, and I woke more than an hour later...in all, I spent 1.5 hours on the mat during my second voyage.
Verdict: A blissful revelation. zzzzzzzzzzzz
