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.

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.
Light
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.Original
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 Original.Advanced
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. -
All Shakti Mats are finished with signature spikes and organic cotton. What sets them apart is the intensity of each spike (see 'which intensity to choose') and the foam inner that puts them to work.
Organic Blissfoam™
• 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
Standard
• The same stuffing used in bedding and furniture
• Lightweight
• Hypoallergenic
• Tried and tested to ensure all the benefits of acupressure -
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.

- Anaiah M.Verified BuyerYesterdayReviewingShakti 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!
- Caroline H.Verified BuyerYesterdayReviewingShakti Premium Acupressure MatRated 5 out of 5 starsGrateful pain
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 BuyerYesterdayReviewingShakti 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.
Shakti Mat EuropeYesterdayHi 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.
- Sarah W.Verified Buyer2 days agoReviewingShakti Premium Acupressure MatRated 5 out of 5 starsNot ow ow ow but wow wow wow...!
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
