ShaktiMat Acupressure Mat for Relaxation, Massage Muscles, Aid Sleep & Unlock Inner Tension, Similar to Acupuncture, No Needles Required (Classic, Level 1, Shakti Black)

This was my first time trying the shakti mat. I started using it on my bed first with a T-shirt on. As I was able to increase the time up to 20 minutes I moved it to the floor and now I can use it without a barrier on the hard surface. The first few minutes are always very uncomfortable. Then like everyone else said, after a few minutes, your body just starts to melt, and you can feel attention leaving. The mats have been very helpful with my autoimmune and health issues. They are easy to store and have held up very nicely. It’s my favorite nighttime routine.

This thing is life changing! know that sounds dramatic. But my continual back pain had me feeling so miserable constantly. It was effecting me emotionally as well a physically. Massages are too expensive for me. And even after I get them, I’m hurting again in a matter of days. Massage devices just bruise me. But all I have to do for relief is lie on this mat. That’s it! The effect lasts too. It will be days before I have to use it again. But even if I’m not in pain, it relaxes me. I cannot recommend this strongly enough. It’s more than worth the price. I got the beginner mat. But compared to the cheaper mats I’ve seen online, the spikes on those aren’t as long and sharp. That’s why I chose to try this particular mat. My pain is intense and I needed something that would really make a difference. I have been using it for a couple of months now and I may get the more advanced mat soon. But so far it’s still working great for me.

Was a gift that I have been stealing an using. Love to lay on it a couple of times a week. Feels so good and body is super relaxed after, highly recommend.

Enjoying this!!! It really is uncomfortable the first 5 or 6 minutes then I almost fall asleep!

Bought at the recommendation of a friend who has had excellent results from using and so far I’m a fan, as well! It’s not exactly painful, but it’s not really comfortable. I consider it similar to getting a tattoo - but those don’t really hurt me most of the time.

🚨🚨🚨REVIEW INCOMING 🚨🚨🚨 I am truly in love with this Shatki Accupressure Mat I got my husband. I put meditative music in my ears, and lay on it, and truly just let my body go, the way you feel… I kid you not, within 5 mins - I can feel waves of warmth move thru my body into my fingertip and toes, and the state of calmness I experience feels like what u image the last 8 seconds of your life flashing before ur eyes as you die (like in the movies) in slow motion feels like, like in an empty field of cripsy sunset as you dance thru the wind. I lay there for 25 minutes. And then the peel off the mat, is like a hurt so good feeling. 100/100 recommend. The end. Side note: I have the level 2 premium mat. (Bought it on my sis Amazon account so my hubby wouldn’t see if Christmas gift early).

I wanted to like this, but I just didn't. I didn't relax with this at all. In fact the spikes were extremely uncomfortable (I know they would be), but it wasn't worth the money to be THAT uncomfortable without getting any of the benefits. The size was nice and did cover my back. Pain was not relived, if fact it brought more temporary paid.

Love my Shakti mat. Have had it a while now and now hubby is starting to get into it I may have to upgrade to the next level. Brilliant company. Don't buy the lesser ones buy Shakti !! Would recommend for sure. So relaxed and sleep great.

I am practicing Jiu Jitsu 4 times a week and have muscle strains on my back and neck on a regular basis. I purchased this mat as an experiment to see if there will be any improvement to my pain. I am laying on this for about 8 minutes before and after my workouts and I noticed significant decrease in back pains due to muscle strain. I also started lying on it 8 minutes a day during my lunch break since I am sitting/standing at my desk all day, and find that it helps relax and clear my mind since I am focusing on the tingling of my back instead of anything else. Next step would be to purchase the pillow.

I slipped on some stairs and hurt my back so I’ve been using it for that and it has helped a lot - it has reduced the dull pain that I was feeling on a daily basis. It’s a tad uncomfortable when you first start (like it says) but then the warmth comes and you just relax - I like to do it while watching a tv show or movie. Level one was perfect for starting out. Gets the job done!

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 thought I would give a try now I use it every day, it is amazing! A must for anyone with joint or muscle pain, I have MS this mat has made my life more bearable.
