The ultimate companion to your Shakti Mat has been redesigned to release even more tension.
The Premium Shakti Pillow amplifies every acupressure session with targeted relief in every hard-to-reach curve. It has double the coverage of our Classic Pillow to release stress from the back of your head to the top of your shoulders, and its recycled Blissfoam™ fill is dense, plush, and mouldable.
20 minutes is all it takes to reset and restore yourself in a world full of stress.
- Release all your neck and head tension
- Relieve every area full of stored stress
- Raise the level of Shakti sessions further
The first Shakti Mats and Pillows put us on the map with over 30K 5-star reviews. They proved that lying on spikes to unwind can be more relaxing than a massage. This latest edition improves on everything you and our community love about the ancient wellness practice that is acupressure.
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.
What makes premium, premium?
SHREDDED BLISSFOAM™ FILL
Our new shredded fill makes for a far more versatile tool. It lets you target stress and release tension across your neck, shoulders, and the rest of your body. Soft enough to sink into, yet firm enough to push back.
FINELY FINISHED OUTER DESIGN
A stronger, yet softer, organic cotton outer is completed with rounded piped edges, and a discreet YKK® zipper closure. Responsibly dyed, GOTS-certified and hand stitched.
SIGNATURE SHAKTI SPIKES
The sharper the better, and regardless of which intensity you choose: ours are the sharpest around. They nestle into tension and activate your acupoints instantly. Anything less and you’re wasting your time.

The most popular way to Shakti is in bed, before sleep. Using the Pillow as an extension of your Shakti Mat lets you target your neck and get even more relaxation from your downtime.
When you place it under your head, neck and shoulders, it disperses pressure avoiding any pinch points. Your shoulders and neck experience a deep release that transitions up toward the top of your skull.
Its shape is also perfect for releasing tension in hard-to-reach curves, and you can rest your face against the spikes for a subtle sensation.
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.
Level 1
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.Level 2
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 Level 2.Level 3
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. -
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.
