Shakti Premium Acupressure Mat Black Level 2, Sustainable & Durable, Relieves Stress & Tension, Promotes Relaxation & Focus, Ethically Handcrafted Acupuncture Mat in India, Organic Cotton Certified

I bought this mat after doing a lot of research. After my husband's surgery he had a side effect to anesthesia that led to insomnia for a very long time. He's a hardcore pain bearing person so straight away I went for level 2 and this mat helped him relax and go into a sleeping mode. It didn't "cure" his insomnia (yet) but tremendously helps with getting into a relaxation state. Now I am trying my pain bearing level so will see after 3 weeks :)

Must have item

I would never had believed what a difference it would make to my back until I used it. Absolutely love my new mat, it’s got to be Shakti as no other makes are as good, I have had my mat for a week and half now and the difference to my pain is unbelievable. I get up in the morning pain free and can walk pain free. I accidentally bought a neck pillow that wasn’t Shakti and it’s not half as good. No more expensive back appointments to deal with, this is life changing!

I’ve only used this for a week but have noticed reduced sciatic pain and I have slept much better over the last few nights. I now make this part of my pre-sleep routine for 20 minutes whilst reading a book and I find I’m looking forward to those 20 mins each day

Can only assume the people that lay on this thing with no clothing on are basically just dead inside. There's nothing relaxing or therapeutic about it. It looks like you're going to lay on a mat covered in the plastic equivalent of drawing pins and unsurprisingly, that's exactly what it feels like. I did not lay on it, suddenly become incredibly relaxed and fall asleep only to wake up half an hour later like some are claiming to do. I had a t-shirt on, laid on it for all of about ten seconds before swearing at it, rolling it back up and sticking it in the cupboard where it's remained ever since. I'll stick to massages instead.

Like it explains, you want to get off in the first few minutes, if you stick with it it’s great though, the uncomfortableness disappears and the relaxation sets in.I’ve had some lower back issues since lockdown forced me to work from home at the dining table, a few days using the Shakti mat and it’s loads better.

Please persevere!! It will not disappoint. You have to use it for a few weeks to get used to it, and once you get into it, you will never be without it.

Excellent for pain relief and relaxation. Would recommend this quality product to anyone suffering "wear and tear" aches as it truly is amazing. Would make a great present .
