Take the plunge with the acupressure mat that started it all. Let thousands of tiny spikes release deep tension to help you relax and unwind. Within minutes any initial discomfort melts into deep relaxation.
- Rediscover deep sleep
- Relieve aches and pains
- Relax every tense muscle
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 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 CLASSIC, CLASSIC
SOFT FOAM INNERS
Choose between tried-and-true Classic Foam or our signature organic Blissfoam™. Classic Foam is firmer, lightweight and hypoallergenic. Blissfoam™ is soft enough to sink into, yet firm enough to push back. Both are perfect for deep tension relief.
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 hand stitched.
PRECISION-ENGINEERED SPIKES
The sharper the better, and regardless of which level you choose, ours are the sharpest around. Guaranteed to get to the point, by nestling into tension and activating your acupoints instantly.
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 this a less intense option. Expect less initial discomfort thanks to more points per spike. Ideal for anyone unsure about acupressure.
Original
Our most popular intensity has fewer points per spike to balance initial discomfort and a much deeper release.
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.

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 releaseClassic
• The same stuffing used in bedding and furniture
• Lightweight

• 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.

- Stuart W.Verified BuyerYesterdayRated 3 out of 5 starsPointy mat
Brute force approach for trigger point release. Just poke everywhere. I compared this to the prosourcefit mat +pillow (cost half the price of the shaki pillow) and this one is pointier and covers more area. Though i think these mats should be wider at the shoulders and a little longer. Drink lots of water - this pointy mat does seem to affect the body beyond just relaxing the muscles.

First 20ish seconds is a bit hurtful but after that it s such a good feeling laying on a Shakti mat.
Every night I m home, before bed, Shakti mat and I hang out for up to an hour. Honestly, I was really sceptical at first but now I can t live without it.
- ALEX M.Verified Buyer3 days agoRated 4 out of 5 starsGreat additional tool in the toolbox
I look forward to every session - kinda wish I had gone for the level 2, but I was worried that it would be too painful so I went with the entry-level spikes. And I'm sure this was me not reading closely enough, but I ordered it thinking that it was body-length, so I was a little surprised it was only upper-body length, but I think that's on me.
- CLARE H.Verified Buyer3 days agoRated 5 out of 5 starsNo pain, no gain...
OK, OK, for a first time user this does take a while to get used to - but you have to go through the pain to get the gain. And it's TOTALLY worthwhile. Peeling yourself off it is 'fun'!

I have been using a shakti mat for many years. A family member had aches and pains so I gifted my old one and bought myself a new mat. It's very relaxing and gets rid of any niggles that crop up in my old age.
