There was no excess plastic used and the company definitely puts priority of using sustainable materials for the packaging. I love that I can scan a bar code to see who made my mat and the name of the person that made it is handwritten on the label. All these small touches make me want to purchase from these kind of companies. On to the mat. This is one of the more intense versions, so if you're new to these mats, follow the instructions and don't give up. They do feel kind of painful at first, but I promise, this doesn't last long. These are my personal feelings when using acupressure mats, especially this one. There is a strong sense of warmth on my back and this is due to the blood starting to flow properly. I then feel it working on (in my case) my shoulder blade where I have a trapped nerve. I do like to bend my knees up, so my feet are flat on the floor because this puts pressure onto my lower back which feels amazing. Then I start to feel extremely relaxed and have been known to fall asleep. It does help me wind down in preparation for bed so I tend to do it shortly before that. I just love these mats because they honestly do work and consistency is key but results can be felt after around 10 or 15 minutes in my case. I place mine on the floor which is recommended but they do say you can place on a bed if you're new to them, I personally wouldn't because you won't get the full effect and it's just around 5 or 10 minutes of discomfort until your body gets used to it. Highly recommend for anyone with muscle aches, back issues, anything of the sort. The design is also really nice with the black and gold. Review: Shakti mat - I tried it, but I just couldn’t enjoy it. You’re supposed to relax on these mats, but it just made me uncomfortable. The sharp points are supposed to stimulate you in a positive way, but I just didn’t feel it. I really wanted to like this thing, but it just wasn’t for me. I plan to let my wife try it next. I’ll update this review if she has a different opinion. ## Features - TIRED? SORE? STRESSED? Melt tension in minutes with the spiky mat for stress that could change your life.

You’re supposed to relax on these mats, but it just made me uncomfortable. The sharp points are supposed to stimulate you in a positive way, but I just didn’t feel it.

Mind you, this Shakti Mat Level 3 Acupressure Mat is a level three, and is supposedly the toughest one around in terms of pain level, but for me, the primary hurdle was the anxiety of the fact that you are essentially laying on a bed of sharp objects. This part really was ultimately the hardest test of willpower through the experience. If you’re stuck, “take the plunge” is really the best answer I can give, as feeling the full contact of the edges at once actually significantly lessens the discomfort, and you may be surprised at how little (or a lot, depending on the person) pain you feel. For me though, as I did my 20 minutes, it felt a little itchy. A little uncomfortable at first, but I got used to it “quickly”—like under 20 seconds quickly. Then it was mostly just itchy. I will note, I didn’t particularly feel anything special beyond the perceived itchiness over those 20 minutes, as I continued writing other things on my phone to pass the time, and the redness of my back as I got up, with some sharp-looking holes pressed into my skin checking the mirror. You could say it didn’t work that well for me, really, despite the increased pain level of the mat. Now to get into the mat itself: it is about an inch thick of polyurethane foam inside a removable outer covering with the plastic spiked ribs, which does appear washable. The foam actually makes it feel like a pretty quality mat, and you can lay down on a hard surface no problem without much discomfort. This does not come with a case or anything—just the mat, rolled up, and a quick start guide. Value-wise, at roughly $85 at the time of writing, it’s expensive. Wow, even. For what it is, I’d say it’s a bit jarring for me. On a personal level, given my lackluster experience, it is difficult to recommend at this price. If you’re new to this sort of thing, I recommend trying to find out if it works for you first at a lower pain level, and then moving into this level 3 max pain if you’re looking for further stimulation. In that case, perhaps the value would be significantly higher. Ultimately, I am a sample size of one, so take my experience as but a grain of sand on the beach. I just simply tell it like it is. If you feel you need some sort of physical tactile sensation to alleviate daily stress, by all means, it is interesting enough to give a try. ## Frequently Bought Together - ShaktiMat Classic Acupressure Mat Advanced Intensity in Indigo, Relieves Stress & Tension, Promotes Relaxation & Focus | Similar to Acupuncture, No Needles Required | FSA/HSA Eligible - ShaktiMat Classic Acupressure Neck Pillow, Advanced Intensity in Indigo, Sustainable & Durable, Relieves Stress & Tension, Promotes Relaxation & Focus, FSA/HSA Eligible - ShaktiMat Classic Acupressure Mat Original Intensity in Shakti Black, Relieves Stress & Tension, Promotes Relaxation & Focus | Similar to Acupuncture, No Needles Required | FSA/HSA Eligible --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/343788074-shaktimat-acupressure-mat-for-tension-release-classic-level-3-black](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/343788074-shaktimat-acupressure-mat-for-tension-release-classic-level-3-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
