Does it hurt?
For those who already have an acupressure mat, The Shakti Mat will be a step up.
For most, The Shakti Mat hurts at first. Acupressure is a powerful treatment, which can initially be felt as discomfort, particularly in areas of the body where tension is high. This soon transforms into sensations of tingling, pulsating, and warmth. It takes a few minutes to get past the intensity and over the ‘hump’ before being left with a sense of calm, well-being, and restoration.
Regular users of the Shakti Mat feel little or no pain as tension eases in the areas where the mat is applied.
How to use your Shakti
The most popular ways to use The Shakti Mat are on the neck, shoulders and back, however your entire body can benefit. Simply let the mat apply pressure to your body to experience a deep warming sensation, easing the muscles, relaxing the body and supporting natural restoration.
Use the Shakti Mat for 20 minutes daily for best results.

As a first-time user of the Shakti Mat, I’m genuinely amazed by the incredible benefits I’ve experienced in such a short time. It was easy to get accustomed to and has quickly become an essential part of my daily relaxation routine. Not only has it helped alleviate physical tension, but I also find myself more centered and at peace after each use. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their well-being in a holistic manner. A truly transformative product!
Should come with a health warning that going from level 1 to level 3 will initially feel like a form of medieval torture. I’ve used a level 1 Shakti Mat for a while and got to the point where it felt weirdly comfortable and even the dog didn’t mind it! So, saw the level 3 mat and thought let’s cut the middle mat out and just go all in, how much more ‘spiky’ could it be!
So to clarify, the first time I used the level 3, I couldn’t see for 5 minutes due to my eyes streaming, and not could I talk due to my clenched teeth. The accompanying burning sensation felt like someone had applied copious amounts of tiger balm and deepheat then dried it with a blowtorch.
But, after 5 minutes of seeing ‘Jesus’, that sensation subsides and the relaxing feeling is amazing and my quality of sleep has improved since using it. Much like eating hot curries the I tail pain is felt twice, once when you get on and secondly when you try to peel yourself off it, other than that, amazing product, worth the extra money and supper relaxing once you get used to it.
Not used as much as I would like but love this. At first you think oh blimey that’s uncomfortable but the more you lay on it the more acceptable it becomes, actually fell sleep. Try it on your bed it’s a bit more forgiving. Great quality, rolls away easy ( I should have bough the neck pillow too) I bought the black one which was a great choice
I have had mine for a long time now.
Takes perseverance and time to build up resilience. But once you do it’s worth it.
One of my friends actually falls asleep for hours on his.
I usually do an hour when I wake up early in bed and read my book
Fab for any aches and pains.
Great product, well made, amazing values abs mission as a business. Just getting used to it but managed 20 mins with bare skin on day one, slept like a baby looking forward to continuing with it. Be warned, it’s sharp! It’s a challenging practice but doable I think..
I’ll be honest and say I scoffed at this, getting targeted on instagram.how wrong was I.
This is incredible for relaxation, both physically and mentally. I opted to go in with the highest level, purely due to not wanting to have to buy another in the future.
The first 3 sessions were toughI wanted to get off after 30 seconds. Once you ride through that discomfort it’s really incredible.
I can compare this to having an amazing deep tissue massage. Wonderful before sleep or any time in the day when you want to switch off and relax
Was expecting this to be more uncomfortable, based on reviews saying the first 5 minutes can be sore. I’ve only found it relaxing from the outset. Pointy, but in a good way. Tempted to get the level 2 or 3 now! Wanted it for my back. So heating and soothing. It came with a name tag for the Indian lady that crafted it, and a QR barcode to learn more. I’m really impressed.
I cannot praise this self help mat enough, everyone should have 1 of these in their homes. It’s just as good if not better than a salon/spa therapeutic treatment. I go for acupuncture by a professional for anxiety and another chronic condition , I’ve been going for almost 2 years and I use the Shakti mat at home between the visits. I love that at home I use my mat, can turn off the lights and listen to some tibetian flute music , cover with a blanket and within minutes I can feel my anxiety just melt away and my breathing is markedly slower and rhythmic. Go straight to bed afterwards , get off to sleep in minutes. My best purchase of 2023 for sure !
I bought this along with a cheaper version I intended to keep as a spare. I’d never used an acupressure mat before. No comparison, there is a huge difference in spike quality, this mat is excellent.
Please persevere!! It will not disappoint. You have to use it for a few weeks to get used to it, and once you get into it, you will never be without it.
Like it explains, you want to get off in the first few minutes, if you stick with it it’s great though, the uncomfortableness disappears and the relaxation sets in.
I’ve had some lower back issues since lockdown forced me to work from home at the dining table, a few days using the Shakti mat and it’s loads better.
It’s not a miracle cure that some make it out to be. There are times when it doesn’t fix muscle spasms for me and other times it does. It is painful but you get through it hence my 1 star for comfort as it’s painful. I’m glad we bought it and would have liked it earlier in life as just something to lay on when needed. Hang it on your wall as a decoration when not in use.
Well made, and uses sustainable organic materials. By definition, a modern take on the bed of nails is not comfortable. The experience is ultimately satisfying and comforting, however. Certainly improves sleep( I use it before nodding off) and generates a feeling of well being. It is possibly helping back pain, but can’t be too sure about this. I’m glad I bought it, and use it every day.
I hike alot and my work puts alot of pressure on my back, after reading the reviews I thought I’d give it a go. Tried initially with no top on and I couldn’t hack it for more than 2 minutes, then tried again with a light tshirt on as suggested and I feel asleep! I can’t believe I actually fell asleep on it. Too early to say about the benefits of it for muscles etc but I have high hopes
Difficult to measure stars on comfort and pain relief when you’re deliberately lay on a bed of spikes!
I was recommended this by my brother who has used it every night for nearly 2 weeks and am so glad I purchased.
The stages you go through mentioned on the Shakti website/literature when using are accurate, yes the spikes are sharp but wow with controlled breathing and a couple of minutes to regulate and deep breathe you don’t really feel them.
I found the whole experience amazing and fell asleep whilst on it for over 20 mins, coming around with a fully relaxed feeling and had a great nights unbroken sleep 🙂
