TRUST THE ACUPRESSURE EXPERTS: The Shakti Mat and Pillow Set provides an unforgettable experience that targets mind and body tension through acupressure. The bed of spikes is an ancient healing practice used in India for over 3,000 years. Common uses are for pain and stress relief, muscle tension, soothing headaches and deeper sleeps.
20 MINUTES IS ALL IT TAKES WITH SUPERIOR SPIKES: Our signature Shakti spikes are made super sharp using first-class ABS–they won’t bend or go blunt. Every spike on the acupressure mat is individually attached using a special clip technique.
THE ONLY WELLNESS TOOLS YOU NEED: Tackle any tension with this dynamic mat and pillow duo. Use the mat to cover your entire back and extend its effectiveness with additional relief and targeted acupoint stimulation to your head, neck and shoulders.
CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL OF PRESSURE: Level 2 is for the bold and brave. 6,000 points-per-spike = more initial discomfort, so commit to pushing through to unlock the deeper release if you’re contemplating a step up.
QUALITY MATERIALS: Handmade in India using certified cotton and dyes that meet the leading processing standard for organic fibers and social criteria. Backed by fair wage employment and charity donations.

Better than I imagined!
As many other reviews say, I wasn’t sure if this would be legit or not. I’d been instagram targeted for a few weeks and started to do some research and everything seemed positive, but I was still hesitant. After purchasing, I tried it twice and by the second time I went for 20 minutes with the mat + pillow on my bed (it’s not as painful as people make it out to be), put in some ear buds and played some binaural beats and within those 20 minutes I was OUT. My timer went off and I felt so relaxed. I sat up (QUICKLY, because slowly peeling yourself off this thing hurts more than laying back onto it), removed the mats and went back to sleep immediately.I now use this mat + pillow when I have time for myself to be relaxed. If I have time to cold plunge + shakti mat in the middle of the day, I feel like Yoda for the rest of the evening. If I am overstressing about getting a lot of tasks done the next day and know I won’t be able to sleep well, I use the shakti mat for those 20 minutes and it has never failed to put me to sleep like a trance. Highly recommend!

Love this combo!!
I am so glad that I found out about the Shaktimat. It takes some getting use to, but it definitely helps relieve muscle soreness/tightness. I work out quite a bit and get contorted doing Jiu Jitsu, so my back and neck are always sore. I use this mat before bed and sleep like a baby. Iâve actually fallen asleep on it more than a few times.

Painful but helpful!
Takes time to get used to it but it definitely helps.

Relaxing
These mats “break the pain cycle” and release the tense muscles in my back so that I can fall asleep easier at night.

I’m a believer
My husband and I have both been using Shakti for about a year. Back pain is a thing of the past for us.I am a pig farmer and am outside most of the day doing manual labor. My husband is a software engineer working 2 jobs (to make that money!!!) and sits in an office chair for up to 16 hours a day. This generally causes hus back to become extremely right, even though he takes breaks and walks around frequently.The Shakti mat has helped us both a ton!We love the quality, thick cotton that the mat is made from, as well as the mechanically applied accupressure rings that spin to help prevent pinching, unlike other brands that glue on their spikes.

Interesting g
Prickly at first, but as you settle a nice warming sensation as you get use to the discomfort. I enjoy it, but takes some getting use to

A Mind-Body Experience
I’m a girl who loves massages. All I want for any birthday is a massage. My sister told me I should try this thing called a Shakti mat instead. I was skeptical. It looked like a gimmick, and it looked like it would hurt.But I figured, hey, why not try it? I’m so glad I did. Along with relaxing the muscles in my back, I feel a calm come over my body after about five minutes of using it. It makes me feel like I feel after an hour of meditation. I don’t know why lying on plastic spikes would do that, but it does every time.So I’ll conclude by saying that the Shakti mat is great for easing physical pain as well as mental/emotional stress. It’s a whole mind-body experience that I’m better off for having discovered.

My favorite for back relief!
I love the heat this brings after the first couple of minutes! I have back and neck pain consistently between a 4-9. I know I can take a half hour and get much needed relief. Sometimes I fall asleep on it too! I bought the pad and the pillow. I donât use the pillow, instead I roll up the top part of the pad under my neck.
