Find out for yourself what thousands kiwis have being talking about; “The benefits of the Shakti mat and pillow”.
The Shakti pillow is an acupressure pillow, similar to the mat, it is fondly referred to as the modern day bed of nails. It is comprised of 6,000 plastic spikes. Various forms of acupressure have been around for thousands of years. The mat provides you with the ease of self treatment in the privacy of your home, when you need it most.
The Shakti Acupressure Pillow is designed for application of acupressure to the neck and shoulders. If these are your trouble areas, the pillow sits comfortably under the neck for gentle but effective pressure.
The pillow can also be applied underneath hamstrings, calves and thighs to assist with healthy recovery post-workout. As well as against a couch or chair at your desk, for lumbar support.
And of course, overall well-being is always improved when you gift yourself time to heal and restore your body.
Shakti mats and pillows are handmade in Varanasi’s Gratitude Temple Factory with the intention to “bring happiness and harmony to everyone who comes in contact with the mat; from employee to end user.” I thought this was a lovely philosophy and I for one, really enjoy mine.
They are;
- Ethically sourced
- 100% certified organic cotton and natural dyes
- Made from recyclable, durable ABS non-toxic plastic
So have all the “feel good” feels!

When I first saw the mat it made me nervous, I’m no good with pain and even just touching the little spikes with my hand made me think anyone was crazy for wanting to lay on one.
But somehow I ended up borrowing one from the lovely Tonya… I tried it quickly with a light cotton t-shirt on and really liked it, that first night I gave it another go with a bare back but it was too intense for me so I popped back on the t-shirt and it was bliss. I ended up purchasing my own one and now use it every night in bed while reading my book. I’ve been sleeping a lot better for it too. I recommend it to anyone who asks about them.

Amazing! I got one today so only used it once but i literally almost fell asleep on it and my back which had been aching all day immediately felt better when I got up. This will be a daily part of my routine now. So happy I finally got one.
