What makes Premium, Premium?

Signature Spikes

Sharp spikes = effective acupressure. Anything less and you’re missing the point.

We’re constantly honing our precision-engineered moulds to ensure our spikes are the sharpest around. Paired with our custom acu-disks, they're individually hand-clipped to each Premium Mat & Pillow so they rotate and move with you as you relax.

It means they’re guaranteed to nestle into tension and instantly activate your pressure points, without any scratching.

Premium Blissfoam™

Blissfoam™ is our latest, plant-based, natural foam fill made with GOLS-certified organic latex.

Exclusive to our Premium range, Blissfoam™ cradles your body for next-level tension release. In the Premium Mat, its precision-cut for sinking into. In the Premium Pillow, its shredded for mouldability.

Blissfoam™ is pre-washed three times and is sewn inside an organic cotton slip before being encased in an organic cotton slip.

Premium Design

Exclusive to our Premium range, our latest designs deliver modern detail that make a world of difference.

New rounded corners and piped edges are completed with discreet YKK® zippers to keep Blissfoam™ accessible and secure. A select range of neutral colours offer enough personality to suit your style.

Made with 100% organic cotton, GOTS-certified covers. They're soft enough to lie on for hours, yet durable enough to last a lifetime.

The Premium Pillow amplifies every acupressure session with targeted relief in every hard-to-reach curve. It has double the coverage of the Classic Pillow to release stress from the back of your head to the top of your shoulders. Its recycled Blissfoam™ fill is dense, plush, and mouldable, so you can tuck it behind your achy back or into your achy sides.
The most popular way to Shakti is in bed, before sleep. Using the Pillow as an extension of your Mat lets you target your neck and get even more relaxation from your downtime.
When you place it under your head, neck and shoulders, it disperses pressure avoiding any pinch points. Your shoulders and neck experience a deep release that transitions up toward the top of your head.
Its shape is also perfect for releasing tension in hard-to-reach curves, and you can rest your face against the spikes for a subtle sensation.
To help you make the most of our Premium Pillow, download our free app – Shakti Shala. The welcome series eases you through the initial discomfort, while expert tutorials and guided meditations help you feel the benefits faster and make the most of your downtime.
• Tension-free muscles
• Increased circulation
• Mental clarity
• Calm and focus
• Deeper sleep
• An ongoing sense of wellbeing
• 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

A little, but only 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.
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 is the perfect place to start. Expect a gentle balance of initial sensation and deep release. Ideal for anyone new to acupressure.
Level 2 is for the bold. Fewer spikes means more initial discomfort, so commit to pushing through to unlock a deeper release.
Level 3 is for the brave. Expect serious sensation upfront, with plenty of reward if you can handle it.
Level 4: Limited Edition is only for the experienced. Our most intense spikes ever – perfect if you're craving more from your advanced Shakti practice.

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.

Customers Talked About

Reviews Summary

Customers say this acupressure pillow creates deep relaxation after an initial adjustment period. Many describe the first few minutes as uncomfortable or painful, but report that this quickly transforms into a soothing, massage-like sensation. Users frequently mention falling asleep during sessions and experiencing improved sleep quality afterward. The pillow works well for neck, shoulder, and head tension relief. Many customers use it alongside an acupressure mat, finding the combination particularly effective. Some note the pillow's versatility for different body areas and positions. A few users with thicker hair find the spikes less effective, while others mention the pillow can be too intense initially. Most reviews praise the quality construction and describe the experience as deeply calming and stress-relieving.

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!

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.
