- Shakti Acupressure Pillow: Take relaxation up a notch and target your head, neck, shoulders, and every tricky to reach curve.
“My first experience with the mat and pillow was not as described; it was better.” - Antony W.
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 Pillow, 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'S INCLUDED IN YOUR BUNDLE
ACUPRESSURE MAT
Release tension across your entire back
ACUPRESSURE PILLOW
Targeted relief for your achy neck
MAT & PILLOW FEATURES
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.
SIGNATURE SHAKTI SPIKES
The sharper the better, and regardless of which level you choose: ours are guaranteed to get to the point. They nestle into tension and activate your acupoints instantly. Anything less and you’re wasting your time.
ORGANIC COTTON OUTER
Blissfoam™ is now protected by a stronger, yet softer, GOTS-certified outer. Perfect for maximising the effect of each spike. Responsibly dyed and stitched by hand with no toxic chemicals or compromise.
What you need to know
-
• 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.
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. -
Premium Mats and Pillows feature:
• Precision-engineered spikes (our most effective yet)
• Discreet YKK® zippers (as opposed to self-fastening closures)
• Softer, yet stronger, organic cotton outers (a cut above our standard weave)
Classic Mats and Pillows feature:
• Signature spikes (the ones that put us on the map)
• Self-fastening closures
• Durable organic cotton outers
All Shakti Mats, and Classic Shakti Pillows, are made with organic Blissfoam™ inners. They’re soft enough to sink into, firm enough to push back, and perfect for moulding each spike into deep tension.
Premium Pillows are filled with shredded Blissfoam™ for unmatched plushness and mouldability. They can be shaped to target tension with pinpoint accuracy throughout your body. The half-moon shape of Classic Pillows is best suited for achy necks and tight arches. -
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.
