Premium Acupressure Pillow
A versatile, mouldable acupressure tool featuring our signature spikes and recycled Blissfoam™ to relieve tension in your neck, shoulders, or wherever it presents itself.
Signature spikes
Sharp spikes = effective acupressure. Anything less and you’re missing the point.
We’re constantly honing our precision-engineered moulds to ensure our spikes are the sharpest around. Paired with our custom acu-disks, they're individually hand-clipped to each Premium Mat and Pillow so they rotate and move with you as you relax.
It means they’re guaranteed to nestle into tension and instantly activate your pressure points, without any scratching.

Blissfoam™ is our latest, plant-based, natural foam fill made with GOLS-certified organic latex.
Exclusive to our Premium Mat and Pillow, Blissfoam™ cradles your body for next-level tension release. In the Premium Mat, its precision-cut for sinking into. In the Premium Pillow, its shredded for mouldability.
Blissfoam™ is pre-washed three times and is sewn inside an organic cotton slip before being encased in an organic cotton slip.
Premium design
Exclusive to the Premium Mat and Pillow, our latest designs deliver modern detail that make a world of difference.
New rounded corners and piped edges are completed with discreet YKK® zippers to keep Blissfoam™ accessible and secure. A select range of neutral colours offer enough personality to suit your style.
Made with 100% organic cotton, GOTS-certified covers. They're soft enough to lie on for hours, yet durable enough to last a lifetime.
Behind the design
Frequently asked questions
-
The Premium Mat is the modern version of the Indian bed of nails, an ancient healing tool that relieves inner tension. Lying on the mat applies targeted pressure that promotes the release of feel-good hormones and unlocks tension in tight muscles. Just like acupuncture, each spike also stimulates specific points to help boost circulation.
The Premium Pillow amplifies every acupressure session with targeted relief in every hard-to-reach curve. It has double the coverage of the Classic Pillow to release stress from the back of your head to the top of your shoulders. Its recycled Blissfoam™ fill is dense, plush, and mouldable, so you can tuck it behind your achy back or into your achy sides.
-
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 it to release tension throughout your body.
To help you make the most of our Premium Mat & Pillow, download our free app – Shakti Shala. The welcome series eases you through the initial discomfort, while expert tutorials and guided meditations help you feel the benefits faster and make the most of your downtime.

• Tension-free muscles
• Increased circulation
• Mental clarity
• Calm and focus
• Deeper sleep
• An ongoing sense of wellbeing -
A little, but only 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.
Level 1 is the perfect place to start. Expect a gentle balance of initial sensation and deep release. Ideal for anyone new to acupressure.
Level 2 is for the bold. Fewer spikes means more initial discomfort, so commit to pushing through to unlock a deeper release.
Level 3 is for the brave. Expect serious sensation upfront, with plenty of reward if you can handle it.
Level 4: Limited Edition is only for the experienced. Our most intense spikes ever – perfect if you're craving more from your advanced Shakti practice.

Where acupuncture uses needles to pierce the skin, acupressure uses spikes to press against it.
The key difference with a acupressure is that you can activate multiple points in as many seconds as it takes to lie on them, and you don’t need to book an appointment either.

- Shana H.Verified BuyerWhat is the main reason for use? Stress Relief or Anxiety, Sleep, Muscle RelaxationYesterdayWhat is the main reason for use? Stress Relief or Anxiety, Sleep, Muscle RelaxationRated 5 out of 5 starsUitdagend en toch verlichtend!
Ik dacht eerst; ik ben een beginner, maar het mag wel uitdagend genoeg zijn. Ik was van plan om niveau 2 te nemen, maar gelukkig deed ik de Shakti Mat Quiz op de website. Dat is zeker een aanrader om te zien welk level bij jou past! Ik kwam uit op niveau 1 en toen de vrolijke oranjegele mat aankwam, bleek al snel dat ik heel blij was dat ik niet voor niveau 2 was gegaan! Ik moet zelf nog wel een beetje wennen, het evenwicht tussen spanning en ontspanning vinden. Er is ook een app beschikbaar die je erdoor loodst. Behalve het feit dat mijn het verlichting in mijn rug geeft, is het ook fijn als je zoals mij ADHD hebt en zoveel prikkels tegelijk binnenkrijgt. Dan ben je even helemaal in het nu. Mijn man en ik doen soms een wedstrijdje met de timer, om ter langste blijven liggen op de mat en ik ben momenteel aan de winnende hand!

Heel blij met mijn fijne nieuwe mat, mijn nieuwe beste vriend!
Vrijwel dagelijks voor het slapen gebruik ik hem en ik geniet van het proces waar ik doorheen ga - soms pulsen, soms juist pijn die toe- en dan weer afneemt, dieper ademhaling.
- Rebecca G.Verified Buyer2 days agoRated 3 out of 5 starsI have not experienced any benefits
I have been using the mat 4 times a week for 2 weeks, and have not seen any changes to shoulder and back muscle relief, I still find it quiet uncomfortable for the 23 mins.
SMShakti Mat USAYesterdayHi Rebecca, thanks for sharing your experience. It can take some time to get comfortable with the sensation, so you could try shorter sessions and ease in with a thin layer of clothing or even use the Mat on a sofa to reduce the intensity as you gradually build your tolerance.
If you’ve tried these adjustments and it still doesn’t feel right for you, you’re welcome to reach out to us at support@shaktimat.co.nz to arrange a return and full refund within 60 days.
