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 world's first acupressure mat app. Get the skills and guidance you need to make the Shakti work for you. Overcome beginner barriers and get the Shakti benefits faster.
PRODUCT FEATURES
SIGNATURE SHAKTI SPIKES
The sharper the better, and regardless of which level you choose: ours are guaranteed to get to the point. They nestle into tension and activate your acupoints instantly. Anything less and you’re wasting your time.
BLISSFOAM™ INNER
What happens when the sponginess of memory foam can be found in organic trees? Blissfoam™. It’s soft enough to sink into, firm enough to push back, and perfect for moulding each spike into deep tension.
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 handstitched, too.
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. -
Premium Shakti Mats feature:
• Precision-engineered spikes (our most effective yet)
• Discreet YKK® zippers (as opposed to self-fastening closures)
• Softer, yet stronger, organic cotton outer (a cut above our standard weave)
Classic Mats are finished with:
• Signature spikes (the ones that put us on the map)
• Self-fastening closures
• Durable organic cotton outer
All Shakti Mats are made with organic Blissfoam™ inners. They’re soft enough to sink into, firm enough to push back, and perfect for moulding each spike into deep tension. -
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.

- Karolina B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoGood first impression
Yess, it is painful at the beginning! However, it is worth it - I hope that I am feeling the positive effect within the first days - I started using it before sleep and got a few nights of great sleep already 😴 looking forward to what's ahead! 🤞
- Lyn M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoI love my shakti
It takes a little bit of practice but it is worth the perseverance before long you’ll find that Ahhhhh moment and will be loving how it makes you feel
I’ve given three as gifts and all recipients are quickly converted and find their Ahhhh moment
- Jitske G.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars4 months agoPositive but not yet completely convinced
I've used the mat for 2 weeks now, every night, and experienced the total relaxation a few times, but not every night. I do like taking time out for myself though, and believe that it has helped many others. I will continue to use it before sleeping and hope the relaxed feeling will come back more often, and I also hope my back pain will ease up a bit more. Ordering/sending happened real quick, no complaints there!
- Damian B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoPure bliss
The first initial 3 minutes or so were painful, but not unbearable. After that 3 minute mark the feeling of the spikes started to dissipate and I felt warmth cascade over my back and I could feel the blood flowing and the release of all my muscle tension in my back. I got the level 2 mat and did a 20 minute session for my first session and I was instantly hooked (I’m looking at the level 3 now I want that challenge!). I did a 40 minute session that same evening before bed and I slept through the night, didn’t wake up once! I have also stood on my mat (much more painful, but less than 3 minutes for it to feel good) I have noticed a huge improvement in my Plantar Fasciitis after trying everything under the sun the Shakti mat has done what other products could not. Amazing build quality, fast shipping and an amazing thing they are doing for people who not only buy it, but make it as well! There’s no reason not to buy these products they benefit everyone and the earth as well! They’re made as environmentally friendly as possible and they plant a tree for every mat sold! I will definitely be buying more products and I highly recommend you do it as well!
- Hanna P.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoLife changing, thank you.
I'm 40, live a healthy lifestyle and suffer chronic debilitating pain due to degenerative arthritis and a genetic nerve condition. Daily function is essentially unbearable and exhausting. I have pain specialists, Chinese medical practitioners, attend yoga and pilates every second day. The only thing I don't use is pain medications.
Please do try the Shakti mat and acupressure pillow without hesitation.
Set your mat and pillow up in the correct placement to allow full contact especially to your cervical spine, shoulders and thoracic spine. Direct contact onto skin is best.
Seated at the end of you mat use your hands to each side to slowly lower your body weight down into a comfortable position.
The sharp sensation lasts less than a few minutes, breathe into it.
Shortly after the initial 'spikey' sensation is totally forgotten and replaced by a warm sensation and connection to your body.
This (for me) moves into deep relaxation, almost meditation I have never been able to access before.
Do follow the advice on setting an alarm though for 20 minutes! I think my 6th time on the mat I fell asleep and woke an hour later (I was fine!) Just the lack of awareness of moving off the mat gently was a bit different.
You guy's are legends.
Thank you for helping me with such an incredible product when I really felt I've literally tried everything.
I use mine morning and evening with my other health care treatments as above.
In gratitude 🙏
Hanna
