Lying on spikes triggers your brain's natural pain response. But when you realise you're not actually in pain – you feel the ouch, and let everything go.

What people are saying
This thing made me question my entire life
I basically died, went to heaven and came back. I don't recommend being in the same room as someone who is trying to make you laugh while you’re on the mat, it just hurts even more.

Stress relief god-send!
The quality cannot be compared to other brands. I’ve had a go on generic and competitors and none are as sharp or as well made as the original shakti.

Back to bliss...
First, I thought 'why the hell am I putting myself through this agony?' It felt like my skin was being removed by some torturous means. But I persevered, and soon - I was loving it. My back is so much less stiff and I've even fallen asleep on it!

This has changed my life!
I actually sleep now! My mental health has improved and sleepless nights, gone. I feel relaxed and in control. I don't even go on weekends away without it, no!
Verified Buyer
Spiky bliss!
Don’t be put off if your first try is a little uncomfortable, the more you use it the better it feels. Top tip: lights down, audiobook or podcast, set a timer on your phone so you can zone out, soft blanket over the top of you... and there you go, a recipe for Shakti heaven!

The melting mat
Acupressure is a complex system that can link discomfort in certain points to places in the body. For me this sense of awareness has allowed me to tune in with both healthy and non-healthy habits, and has allowed me to melt into my stress and scoop it away.

Finally completed the set!
Got given a beginners mat as a gift and now have all three levels which I switch between depending how I feel on the day.

Surrender to relaxation
My shakti mat feels like a real treat. It encourages me to use my breath to move through any discomfort caused by tension I'm holding... It’s like a direct reminder to relax - because as soon as I do, incredible warmth and sensation spreads throughout my body!

Acupressure faqs
Acupressure is an ancient wellness practice that goes back thousands of years. Closely related to acupuncture, it works by applying targeted (acu) pressure to acupoints along your body’s meridian system.
Unlike acupuncture, acupressure spikes don't puncture your skin. Instead, they press up against it to release tension in the same way a deep tissue massage releases a knot.
The sensation of lying on spikes harnesses your body's natural response to discomfort to support healthy circulation and ultimately rebalance the energy that flows within you.
Acupressure stems from the Indian bed of nails, and in Ayurvedic tradition it was developed alongside yoga and meditation.
Millions embrace the ouch daily – using acupressure as their ancient answer to modern stress/unexpected antidote to everyday stress.In 20 minutes or less you can turn tired, sore and stressed into relaxed, restored and reset.
No appointments. No subscriptions.
And with so many different tools, you don't need to be at home, either.
Lying down is the easiest way to start: either in bed or on the floor. Skin-to-spike contact for 20 minutes is best, but you can use a light T-shirt while you get used to the sensation.
In short: yes. Acupressure assists your body’s ability to boost circulation, release stubborn tension, and provide temporary pain relief. That makes it a great relaxation aid and tool for the occasional sore back. Perfect if stress has built up from sedentary work, exercise, or physical labour.
