• Deeper sleep
• Tension-free muscles
• Calm and focus
• Mental clarity

The most popular way to Shakti is in bed, before sleep. Combining the Mat and Pillow lets you target tension from the back of your neck to the base of your tailbone. Lie with the Shakti Mat under your back and shoulders first, and then place the Pillow under your neck.

Both tools can be used on their own to target tension as you need to. You can also combine them with yoga and meditation – either seated or through in savasana – to help incorporate acupressure into your recovery or wellbeing routine.

20 minutes is all you need for each spike to work its magic. To make it easy, you’ll receive free access to the world’s only acupressure mat app with purchase.

Will it hurt? Yes. But only for a little in the beginning.

The point to those spikes is that they activate your parasympathetic nervous system – fast. Your body says “Ouch!” and your brain goes into pain response mode.

After a few minutes you realise, “Hey, I’m not actually‎ in pain” – and that’s where the real change begins.

You begin to take advantage of all the serotonin, oxytocin, and feel-good chemicals rushing through your body. The tingling sensation turns into a deep warmth, and tension washes away as acupressure works its magic.

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.

All Shakti Mats and Pillows are finished with the same signature spikes in 3 intensities to suit your pressure level. What sets them apart is the foam inner that puts them to work.

Organic Blissfoam™

• 100% plant-based foam
• Organic inner in the Mat, recycled fill in the Pillow
• 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.
