ShaktiMat Acupressure Pillow for Relaxation, Massage Neck Muscles, Relieve Stress & Tension, Similar to Acupuncture, No Needles Required

I was skeptical of this product, but decided to give it a chance as I suffer from tightness in my neck and upper back. While it takes a few minutes to adjust where it kind of hurts, it soon turns into a very relaxing feeling. I use it every day and I have to say when I get up I feel refreshed. The pillow and spikes are well designed and feel very high quality. I think it is the perfect size to put out of the way when you're not using it but big enough to cover a significant portion when you lay on it. The pillowcase can be removed for cleaning, I appreciate this added functionality. Overall, it gets plenty of use at my house so I would recommend this pillow and I believe it to be a solid value.

Where have you been all my life Shakti Mat? Oh my goodness!!! I'm a newbie at acupressure. Past doctors have recommended acupuncture but I'm actually terrified of needles and my insurance didn't cover it. I'm in my late forties and have always worked a very physical job. My first experience I put this extremely well made pillow behind the bare skin of my neck and shoulders and laid down. Ouch! The first couple of minutes were uncomfortable and yes, a bit painful. I just closed my eyes and meditated until 10 minutes had passed. I sat up and carefully moved my neck from side to side and rotated my shoulders. I was in shock from happiness. There was no tension, no tightness and no pain! I immediately moved the pillow to my lower back for another 10 minute session. I have multiple back issues and achieved the same amazing results. After the sessions I felt a soothing warmness spread around the area I used the pillow on. My flexibility is better, my pain level is better and once you get used to it you look forward to using it. I always explore natural remedies and take zero prescription medications. I was hunting for the perfect pain liniment but this pillow will take the place of that. I love the exceptional quality of this pillow. These are handmade and it even included a card signed by the lady who made my pillow. This company takes good care of their workers which is very important to me. I absolutely love owning this pillow and will be spreading the word to anyone I think could benefit from acupressure. It's so easy to use. The color and design all look and feel very high end. The quality is excellent and I think it's worth every penny. Five huge stars!!!!!

Wow, this ShaktiMat is amazing! This is my first introduction to a ShaktiMat. They say to use it skin-to-skin, which I did. It didn't really hurt - I could feel the sharpness, and it does dig into the skin a little, but after a few minutes all that goes away and it feels very, very good. I used it for about 15 minutes, and when I got up, my back wasn't sore at all (I've been having a lot of back and hip issues this past year). I was shocked - I was able to walk around fine. The effect lasted for a while - I guess it takes using it regularly to have any lasting effect, but at least I got some immediate relief. I also used it sitting upright in my chair last night, and it worked equally as well. I am sold! The pillow is about 11"x16" and is very fluffy. It has multiple round plastic discs with plastic spikes sewn on one side. The covering is a heavy-duty, soft canvas-like material. There is a zipper on one side, and inside is another fully encased pillow - not just stuffing. Because it's black, it does attract animal hair, but that is easily cleaned off. I scanned the code on the enclosed card, and they have stories and videos about how these ShaktiMats are made, which are very heartwarming. The company allows women in India opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have, and the pictures and stories touched my heart and soul. This is a very insightful company and a quality product, and I highly recommend it.

But really, it's not as terrible as I feared it might be. People told me that if you suffer through the "I'm lying on a bed of nails" feeling, when you get up you feel amazing. So I decided to give it a go. Yes, lying on it feels like lying on shards of glass. It doesn't pierce the skin, but it gives you hundreds (thousands?) of sharp pokes. But they're oddly satisfying. After lying on this pillow for 20 minutes (I've used it on my upper back and lower back), when I get up, I do feel instant warmth and relaxation. My lower back is where I hold tension, and where I often have the most fatigue/pain (probably because my abs/core aren't strong enough), so using the Shakti pillow there is really amazing. It releases all the stress I hold there, and makes my back feel calm and relaxed. I'm shocked at how much I like it. I come home from work and I WANT to lie down on this for a while. No complaints. I'm still mystified about how this works, but I can report that it does work.

Interesting pillow. I wasn't sure how these worked but I've heard from a few people now wonderful they are. They weren't wrong. This thing is great for all kinds of ailments. I use it often as a head pillow while relaxing and watching TV. It takes a while to get used to it, but once you do it's bliss. Love it.

Buy it!!! Just do it. Your body will thank you. And honestly like mine, your body will start to crave this ! Absolutely in love with them Shakita product line.

I can’t describe how great this is. Forces you to relax. One of my favourite purchases of 2025. I have along with the mat and have fallen asleep on it dozens of times. Feels like it shouldn’t work but it absolutely does - definitely worth having the pillow if you have the mat- and it’s the real deal quality wise

Absolutely love this

I like that they don't sugar coat anything and state that you will feel the pain. It doesn't poke through skin but it sure feels like it. It is definitely not a comfortable pillow for relaxation. You can definitely see the little poke marks in your skin after using it.

I got the ShaktiMat acupressure pillow, and it honestly looked a bit scary at first. The organic cotton cover feels soft, but the plastic points are very sharp, and it’s definitely uncomfortable at first. It takes a little time to get used to, so I started with some fabric on top of the pillow to help ease into it. Once I got past that, it really helped release muscle tension, especially in my neck and shoulders. The product is well made, and the removable, washable cover is a nice touch. It’s similar to acupuncture but without the needles, though it can feel intense at first. If you can get past the initial discomfort, it provides great relief.
