“The Best PEMF Mats have little to do with what’s the best waveform, intensity or frequency range. But rather how many combinations you can get to treat certain symptoms that are catered to your body. “
We go through the most important factors when it comes choosing the RIGHT PEMF mat for YOU. These factors include the variety of PEMF options available, Healing Properties available, Warranties and Money Back Guarantees as well as the Price.
The above criteria coupled with PubMed Research and our own personalised testing give us additional insight as to which mat is top dog.

How We Picked the Best PEMF Mat
Full body PEMF mats are not exactly the cheapest things on the market. So you want to make sure you spend your money wisely so that you can get the best PEMF treatment available that caters to YOU.
Whenever we looked at the best PEMF mat in these reviews, we didn’t just look at the PEMF capabilities alone, but rather how it would complement the individual trying it. We have also sorted through countless Medical studies done through countless Pubmed Medical trials. As well as research done by Dr. Thomas Torossian to see which PEMF range can be most effective in healing certain ailments of the body.
Spoiler Alert: A wide range of PEMF has been seen to have positive results on individuals.
We based our decisions on testing these devices and seeing what gave the widest range of PEMF variables for intensity, frequency, wave-form, and pulse duration.
We also judged our decisions on what other healing properties these included. As well as other important variables that affect your buying decision such as Price and Commitments. After all, the last thing you want is to buy an expensive device that you CANNOT return or replace properly.
How to Choose the Best PEMF Mat for You
Below is our criteria on how to find the right PEMF mat for you. Not everything is just about PEMF. Instead focus on some of the bigger picture questions. We explain more below.
First Criteria: Important Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy Stats
When choosing the best PEMF mat/ PEMF device we look for what runs as close to the magnetic frequency range that the earth emits as possible.
The earth’s wave form or Schumann Primary Resonance at fundamental mode runs at 7.83 hertz. To get your body synced up to the earth’s fundamental magnetic field we recommend a PEMF device that syncs as closely to that number as possible. However..
Much is made in the PEMF community about specific types of waveforms. Many of them say that their waveform is the best and only way to go. Unfortunately for themvarious different pub med studies tell a different story.
The Best PEMF therapy is not just a certain set of numbers or wavelengths but often depends on the individual using it.
No two people are exactly the same so neither should the treatment of PEMF Therapy. When looking for the Best PEMF systems we look at what has the greatest flexibility. which full body PEMF device can give you the greatest numbers of combinations with frequency, intensities, wave types and pulse duration.
Once you experiment a bit on your own you can find exactly what you are looking for in terms of what combinations to use for PEMF Therapy.
“When looking for the Best PEMF Devices we look at what has the greatest flexibility. Which full body PEMF device can give you the greatest numbers of combinations with frequency, intensities, wave types and pulse duration (wave drop off rate)? Once you experiment a bit on your own you can find exactly what you are looking for in terms of what combinations are best for you and your body."
Far infrared PEMF Mat Review
In these reviews we prefer the pulsed electromagnetic field PEMF intensity to be between 250 – 650 milligauss in a square wavelength form similar to Schuman’s Primary Resonance.
However, the reality of the situation is that all of the above studies all show positive results for PEMF Therapy devices which are used in the range of .001 milligauss to 10000000 milligauss. These studies simply state that any certified PEMF device has shown signs that can positively impact your health.
What these studies do not state is that the sawtooth wavelength is better than a triangle or sine wavelength or vice versa. In fact many PEMF devices run on the Sine Waveform because it’s characteristics mimic electricity from your electrical outlet.
While certain companies will write a long write-up on why they have the best PEMF waveform. Most actual Pubmed studies that these companies participate in do not specify the specific wave that they market to people at all.
When looking for the best PEMF device you should not just focus on the PEMF technology to get but rather, how much VALUE you are getting for what you are about to purchase.
Unfortunately, many people get so focused on the PEMF devices wave form, frequencies and Intensities that they completely ignore other important factors.
Things such as price, warranty, different therapies available, company origin, and customer service. As a result, many people are spending way more money than they should be on PEMF devices that over-exaggerate the importance of its waveform, intensities, and frequencies.

Far infrared PEMF Mat Review
Second Criteria: Additional Healing Properties
As the ratings go in the above table you can see that the more therapies the more points it has. This is because devices with more therapies can treat more conditions and can complement the PEMF Therapy aspect.
You can read more about these therapies on our Far Infrared Mat page. Below are some cited medical studies that have shown positive effects from these healing properties.
Far Infrared Therapy: Invisible light in the form of heat is used to bring about improvements to your body and circulatory system.
Through multiple studies Far Infrared Heat Therapy has been able to improve the health of patients with cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disorders.
Negative Ion Therapy: Molecules that surround us in natural environments that can improve our mood, relieve stress, and boost our energy.
Negative Ions counter Positive Ions which can cluster and cause more serious issues down the road. These negative ions help you feel more energized because they are neutralizing your atoms which help your cells and body functions all to work in harmony with one another.
Photon Light Therapy: Or Red Light Therapy at a certain wavelength that can penetrate past the surface of your skin. This absorbs energy for your cells. This energy gets cellular respiration and regeneration going, allowing your cells to repair quicker.
To get more details about these therapies and how the work related to the mats take a look at each mats individual reviews above or below.
The reality of the situation is that if you have multiple therapies you will be drastically improving your overall well-being and condition. As opposed to just one specific unit that promises a certain type of wave form for one particular therapy.
On top of that if you look at the price tag of each specific kind of machine; you can see that the PEMF specific mats are over 2 X More expensive than the Five Healing Therapy mats of the Healthy Wave and the Ereada Compact Pro mats.
Third Criteria: Warranty and Return Policy
If the Company stands by their product and it actually works, chances are they will have a good policy associated with their device.
Good warranties mean confidence in their products which means that the company philosophy is more centered around the customer as opposed to the company’s own needs. What I consider to be good warranties and guarantees in this space are:
- At least a 30 day Money Back Guarantee
- At least a 1 year warranty on Manufacturing Defects
In my mind a 30 day money back is enough time for the customer to actually find time to try the product to see what they think. Essentially this should be treated as a trial period where you can properly test all its features to make sure everything operates as expected.
A solid policy is another way to judge how much trust you can have in a particular manufacturer. When looking at this section you have to pay particularly close attention to hidden costs that may arise.
A respectable policy in this space typically replaces the devices for free although in some instances you have to pay for shipping which can be a bit of a drag due to its weight and size.
Before deciding on PEMF devices, check these details out as you could potentially get burned on this. Also check out who you are buying from. There are some unofficial websites that sell the same products but have completely different policy periods. Make sure you take some time and read these terms before purchasing from any PEMF device site.
Control Unit Warranty
These are usually the most expensive parts associated with the PEMF device and as such are often excluded in the main policy itself. A good manufacturer warranty should include the controller within that period and not be separate on the controller. That is unless the manufacturer has a longer policy associated with the controller compared to the mat itself.
When manufacturers have a separate shorter controller warranties that it means that the quality is not up to par and the company is hedging its bet.
Fourth Criteria: Price Point
This is one of the biggest criteria you have to look out for in this space. There can be a huge price discrepancy between the best PEMF mat companies. Does this mean that the more expensive the price the better the PEMF device?
In a simple word, No. In this space, there are lots of MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) companies that charge higher prices for a less effective PEMF device.
They do this because they have to pay a referral-based commission structure that rewards recruiters to find new recruiters. They can do this because they were first movers and have the “brand” name that people recognize. This does not always mean its the best PEMF choice though.
Always look at what you get for the price, in the PEMF devices space that means studying the stats of each company and stacking them up against each other like I have laid out for you here.
Other Important Factors to Consider
While the above list the most important factors, the below criteria are also something to keep in mind..
Certifications
Similar to the Far Infrared mats I do not consider PEMF therapy devices to be dangerous in any form as it is just a way to sync your body’s electromagnetic field to the earth’s.
What I do believe you should look for however is some sort of certification in your Device. The more legitimate certifications the better but the one that all devices should have is a 510(K) clearance. 510(K) is a premarket notification that is cleared for sale in the USA.
It has to fit into one of three categories of that is in order of how much regulation is required. Other Certifications you may see with these devices include:
MDC Certification: Independent Review Company working in the medical field of Europe that deems if Health products are safe for use.
CB Certification: An Electronic Certification that measures Electromagnetic Fields Compatibility across the globe
CE Certification: Ensured that the Products related to the Health Field pass product tests for European Consumption and Use.
Health Canada Certified: The Licence is issued in accordance with section 36 of the Medical Devices Regulations.
PEMF Stats
- 25 Frequency Settings (1-25 Hertz)
- 5 Different PEMF Intensities (.3, .75, 1.5, 2.25 and 3 Gauss)
- 2 Different Waveforms (Sine and Square Waves)
- 3 Different Pulse Durations (Medium, Fast and Ultra Fast)
- 10 – 20 minute programs 2 one hour program
Coming in as the best PEMF mat the Healthy Wave Pro Multi-wave is a new PEMF device that just came out that gives you over 313 billion possible pulsed electromagnetic field programs available at your fingertips.
It is a vast improvement to the Healthy Wave Pro 5 Therapy mat in terms of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy.
This is because the Pro Multi Wave allows you to set the wave type, frequency, intensity and pulse duration (drop off) to the exact numbers you want. instead of limiting the options to certain hertz and intensity numbers that are featured with Bemer mats.
This allows you to adjust the settings towards YOUR bodies needs. But What if you are unsure as to where to start?
The Multi Wave mat comes with ten pre-programed 20 minute PEMF programs and two one hour PEMF programs that allow you to find a base to start off with if you are unsure what settings you want to begin with.
With this base you can find which Frequency, Intensity, wave form and drop off that best suits your needs. You can further tailor it by customizing those settings even further.
By trying out the different combinations and saving it as a new PEMF Program. you can create your own tailored pulsed electromagnetic field program. There are few, if any PEMF mats that have this feature.
The Pro Multi-wave also comes with 4 other therapies including Negative Ion,Far Infrared, Red Light and Crystal Therapy similar to the Pro 5 Therapy but with a few small differences.
It features more kinds of crystals from the 5 Therapy mat. The Multi-Wave includes Quartz and Obsidian crystals.That give you more of a spectrum for your Far Infared Heat. It also features a heating timer that goes from 1-12 hours.
The Multi-Wave Style Mats come in 4 different sizes starting from $999.00 to $2,499.00. Each size covers a different surface area with the largest being 74″ X 28″ to the smallest which is 32″ X 20″.
Another difference between the different sizes is how many crystals are used, the negative ion levels and the number of PEMF coils. The smallest features 4 PEMF Coils while the Pro features 8 .
The warranty also has a minor difference. You actually get a 2 year manufacturer’s policy (USA only) instead of the 27 month warranty done by the 5 therapy mat. The trial period (Return Period) is 90 days which is better than any of the other PEMF mats that we have reviewed.
Healthy Wave uses anEcommerce business structure which means all sales go through them which allows them to keep a more affordable price tag over Bemer.
Overall the Healthy Wave Pro Mult-Wave is rated as the Best PEMF Device because of two different factors.
- The Multi-Wave is one of the first PEMF devices that allow you to use either pre programs or custom program PEMF settings that best fits your needs. This gives you over 313 Billion combinations that relate to Frequency, Intensity, Wave form and the drop off rate.
- The Multi -Wave consistently scored high in most of the other important factors like price, policy and healing properties which are important to consider when you are looking at what comes with the PEMF device.
Pros
- Includes All Five Therapies
- Fully Customizable/ Saveable PEMF Programs
- Helps With Circulation
- 313 Billion PEMF Combinations

- Peak 30 Guass on Mat surface average 7
- Automatic timer 20 minutes PEMF on 100 minutes off
For those who want high Intensity PEMF without having to pay a high price tag the Healthy Wave High-Intensity Mat is a solid choice. However, it may not be for everybody.
High intensity PEMF is for folks who respond better to a higher frequency of PEMF. Those who are EMF sensitive or have sensitivity issues to things like fluorescent lights for example may want to go to the Multi Wave or 5 Therapy Mat which feature lower frequency ranges for you to work with.
High Intensity PEMF is more concentrated and can work for a shorter period compared to the Multi Wave and the 5 Therapy Mat. However, it does not offer the same flexibility as the Multi Wave nor the PEMF combinations with Intensity, Gauss, Pulse Duration, and Wave type. The controller does offer 32 different frequency settings from .25 to 30 Hz with peak Gauss levels around 30+ near the coils and an average Gauss level of 7 on the surface area of the mat.
The controller offers several pre-programmed settings that give you the optimal range of temperatures mixed with PEMF. The
main settings are as follows:
Program | Mode | Temperature | Red Light Therapy | PEMF Setting | Timer |
M1 | Sleep | 86°F (30°C) | Off | 3 Hz | 12 Hours |
M2 | Relax | 110°F (43°C) | Off | 8 Hz | 2 Hours |
M3 | Energize | 130°F (54.4°C) | 30 Mins | 12 Hz | 1 Hour |
M4 | Recovery | 140°F (60°C) | 1 Hour | 20 Hz | 1 Hour |
The High Intensity PEMF Mat offers 4 additional therapies just like the other Healthy Wave models. Most notably far infrared heat which uses 13 lbs of amethyst crystals, 5 lbs of jade, 4 lbs of tourmaline and 1 lb of obsidian crystals. You can check out out Best Far Infrared Mats page to learn more about the properties of each crystal.
The controller offers a 3-6 and a 12-hour automatic shut-off and can get to 55 degrees Celsius. The far infrared heat is able to absorb past just your skin and into tissue such as muscles to get to the core. This is thanks to the far infrared heat wavelengths being able to penetrate 5 -14 Um. Which is significantly better than a heating pad.
The Mat has the best warranty of the high intensity PEMF mats with a 5 year warranty on both the mat and the controller against manufacturing defects.
The Mat comes in 4 different varieties.
- The 74” X 28” High Intensity Mat – $1499 USD (comes with case, padded cover, waterproof cover, sauna blanket foil and a PEMF visualizer which is two small magnetic balls in a case)
- The 72” X 24” High Intensity Mat – $1049 (comes with case, padded cover, waterproof cover, sauna blanket foil and a PEMF visualizer which is two small magnetic balls in a case)
- High-Intensity Folding Chair – $599 (comes with case, padded cover, waterproof cover, sauna blanket foil and a PEMF visualizer which is two small magnetic balls in a case)
- 5 Therapy High Intensity Pad – $499 (comes with case, padded cover, waterproof cover, sauna blanket foil and a PEMF visualizer which is two small magnetic balls in a case)
Most importantly this mat is free of any RF radiation that comes from electrical sockets that produce “dirty electricity”. This is something you need to look at when shopping around for PEMF devices as not every PEMF mat has this rather important feature.
Pros
- Relatively Inexpensive compared to other high-intensity mats
- 32 Different frequency settings
- Offers 4 Pre-programs that mix different levels of PEMF with Far Infrared Heat
- Includes 4 other therapies (Far Infrared, Red Light, Crystal, Negative Ion)
- 5 Year Warranty on both Mat and Controller
- Offers more PEMF settings than other High Intensity PEMF Mats
- The Far Infrared heat is great for lower back pain, muscle aches and joint pains
Cons
- Its a Newcomer in the PEMF game so there are not a lot of customer reviews just yet
- The Controller is more simple compared to other PEMF devices
- The controller does not have the big screen that Bemer has
- Does not have the PEMF combinations that the Multi-Wave does
PEMF Stats
- 1 Frequency Setting (8 Hertz)
- 1 Different PEMF Intensities (3 Gauss)
- 1 Different Waveform ( Square Wave)
- 1 Pulse Duration
Formerly the best PEMF mat until the Multi Wave came out. Healthy Wave is the complete full body mat when it comes to the five therapies.l. It utilizes far-infrared heat, crystal, negative ion, red Light as well as PEMF therapy.
On Healthy Wave Mat’s Website there is a ton of information that goes into great detail as to how to use the device. Which is a great resource to have if you are unsure where to start.
Note: In terms of Ease of use this is probably the favorable mat as the controller is much more easy to use. The downside being you do not get as much PEMF settings as the #1 rated Multi Wave.
When it comes to Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy we found Healthy Wave ran closest to Schumann Primary Resonance as it came within three-hundredths(7.8) of the 7.83 Hertz magnetic field.
Healthy Wave also used a Biphasic (Square) type of waveform which gives off multiple PEMF bursts within the square wave envelope form which takes the cells through full magnetic polarity. This is important because this type of waveform almost mimics the Earth’s Magnetic Wave and the Schumann Resonance Frequency.
The Milligauss in which Healthy Wave Operates goes to a maximum of 3000 (3 Gauss). This gives you a bigger range which includes 250 and 650 milligauss(.250 – .650 Gauss) that the earth’s magnetic field operates in.
This allows you to receive an acceptable level of PEMF with just 20 mins to a half hour of use instead of having to spend hours on it to receive an acceptable level.
It also has lots of visual content including informational videos. Of course, the most important factor in all of this is customer service. When I tried the Healthy Wave Mat Pro, I had a few questions that I wanted to be answered, specifically about some of the technology. Their customer care/service was friendly and were willing to take the time to explain things to me.
Healthy Wave Provides the best Trial Guarantee in the industry with 90 days of coverage. This is a great time period for you to be able to sample the product to see if it is right for you.
The Warranty lasts for 15 months, which is ok but this is the only place where the Healthy Wave lost some points. This is because other competitors have Warranties of up to 3 years.
Healthy Wave does however, offer free repair which includes free shipping that is paid by Healthy Wave themselves. If any of you are familiar with shipping rates you would know that this is not a particularly cheap item to ship due to its weight and size. In this particular space it is hard to find any manufacturers that offer this as many will actually expect you to pay for shipping.
It also does provide a 5 year policy on the controller which is not very common in this space. The controller is often the most expensive component so other PEMF mat manufacturers are hesitant to give out extended warranties on these parts. Oftentimes warranties on controllers only last about 6 months or even less if it is not from the official website.
To get all 5 healing properties a full PEMF mat costs about 1,499 USD. Smaller ones cost less if you have a specific ailment that you just want to focus on. I tried the full-length Healthy Wave Pro which you can read below.
Pros
- Includes All Five Therapies
- PEMF is Closest to Schumman Resonance of 7.83
- Helps With Circulation
- Website is Full of Information
- Best Trial/ Money back (90 Days)
- 5 Year Controller Warranty
- Lower Starting Price
- Buy Direct from Site
- More Negative Ions Per Square Inch
- Free Repairs Within Warranty Period
Cons
- Only has 15 Month Warranty Included (Option of 5 but you have to pay a bit extra)
- Controller is Relatively Simple
- PEMF Program is Simplistic
- Does not have a lot of PEMF Options
PEMF Stats

- 1 Different PEMF Intensities (3 Gauss)
- 1 Different Waveform ( Square Wave)
- 1 Pulse Duration
The Ereada features All 5 Healing Properties that the Healthy Wave has and provides ample information on it’s site. So what’s the difference between the two?
Ereada does not feature the same variety as the Healthy Wave. Ereada does actually feature more crystals.But you cannot pick and choose between the crystals like you can with the Healthy Wave PEMF Mat as they are all preselected into certain mats and what they have is what you get.
The Healthy Wave Pro has a wide range of different combinations of crystals, Photon and PEMF combinations that you can use based on the information they provide. This allows you to choose the best mat for yourself without having to go all in with features that you do not want.
Moving on to PEMF, Ereada’s copper coils manage to generate 100 – 400 milligauss with pulses that range from 8 to 60 times per second. The PEMF range on this mat is a bit more in the lower spectrum but it covers some of the same magnetic fields that you can expect from planet earth which is in the range of 250 – 650 milgauss.
What this means in layman’s terms is that you may need to use this mat longer to be able to collect the full benefits of it’s PEMF.
Ereada also has a pretty standard 30 day return policy coupled with a 1 year warranty on manufacturing. Unfortunately you have to pay for return shipping and refunds can take up to four weeks to process. There are also restocking fees which are explained here.
Where Ereada hauled in a good amount of points is it’s price. Their price for the Ereada Amethyst pro 73 X 29 PEMF mat was $1,139.00 which is the cheapest of the PEMF mats. Having said this the Ereada is not 510 (K) certified but it does have certification of gemstones done by the Korean Gemological institutes.
Pros
- Includes All Five Therapies
- Helps With Circulation
- Boosts Creativity
- Website has Full Instructional Videos
- Lowest Starting Price
- 30 Day Trial Period
Cons
- Only has 1 Year Warranty Included
- Not 510 (K) Certified
- Not a lot of Variety In Terms of What Mats you Can Get Compared to Healthy Wave
- You Have to Pay Return Shipping on Returns
- Not a complete PEMF Device
PEMF Stats
- 4 Frequency Settings (3, 7.8, 10, 23 Hertz)
- No other known PEMF Stats available for public knowledge
Higher Dose has been a name that has been popping up more for PEMF mat results recently. So how does it compare?
In terms of healing properties Higher Dose got a relatively good score. Having PEMF, Far infrared, Crystal and Negative Ion Therapies gives the mat the staple therapies.
Higher Dose really do not go into their PEMF stats, and if you look at their marketing campaigns they target the introductory Health, Wellness and Fitness crowd.
So what do we know about their PEMF stats? Well the Higher Dose mat features 4 different frequencies that they use.
- Level 1 (3 Hertz): Hits the Delta Brain Wave Frequency
- Level 2 (7.8 Hertz): Hits Schumann’s Resonance and Theta Brain Wave
- Level 3 (10 Hertz): Hits Alpha Brain Wave Frequency
- Level 4 (23 Hertz): Hits Beta Brain Wave Frequency
These brain wave frequencies are a big point in their marketing. While those are great zones to hit, lots of studies have found a wide range for frequencies that garner positive results.
Higher Does has absolutely no stats on it’s intensity, waveform or drop off rate anywhere on their site. As a result their PEMF score dropped because of this fact. Will Update when I get a response from them back on this.
The criteria that hurt the Higher Dose Infrared PEMF mat the most was their Return Policy.
Not only was it only 14 days but anything that is returned has to be brand new in the box! You can’t even have a trial period with the mat to see if you like it!!
As Per Higher Dose’s Site:
“We offer a 14-day return policy for unopened PEMF Mats. Return shipping will be at the customer’s expense.
If opened, only defective PEMF Mats will be accepted for exchange.
To be eligible for an exchange please contact us at help@higherdose.com with your order information. Please do not send your purchase back without contacting us first or a exchange may not be processed.
Once your exchange is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your exchange.
Depending on where you live and available inventory, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary.”
No matter what you believe or what you want in your PEMF this is not what you would wnat from any product whatsoever.
Their warranty period is a limited one year warranty which is better but still a bit off from the industry standard.
Higher Dose has the best price out of the lot offering their Infrared PEMF mat for $995.
So who is the Higher Dose PEMF mat geared for? People who want a simple product to operate and a price that reflects it.
Pros
- The 4 Frequency Levels hit Alpha, Beta, Theta, Delta Brain Waveforms and Schumann’s Resonance
- Features the Best price of all the PEMF Mats
- Features 4 therapies
- Ecommerce Business Model
- Has some Good testimonials
- Controller is Easy to Use
Cons
- Does not have any PEMF stats other than the Frequencies Settings
- Controller is overly bulky
- Only has a 14 Day Return Period where the package has to be UN-OPENED
- Variety of Crystals is lacking
- 1 Year Limited Warranty
- Website Does Not Provide a Lot of technical PEMF Information
PEMF Stats
- 2 Frequency Settings (10 and 33 Hertz)
- 10 Different PEMF Intensities (to 3.50 Gauss)
- 1 Different Waveform ( Bemer Wave)
- 1 Pulse Duration
- 3 Pre Programs
Bemer, just like Biomat, is a Multi Level Marketing company. MLM’s mark up the price to be able to pay distributors who successfully recruit other distributors. For a long time it was rated as the best PEMF pad because of it’s programmable settings and specialty Bemer Wave. But now others have caught up and overtaken Bemer as more programmable PEMF devices come out.
The low rating allocated to Bemer does not have so much to do with how it works. It works very well and lots of people have given praise about it’s PEMF capabilities.
It’s the fact that it only features two types of therapies and the price is more than double what other mats on this list have. Bemer, similar to Biomat, are able to do this because they were some of the first movers into this category but people are starting to become more wary about this.
Some things that Bemer says its mat can do includes:
- Decrease in injury healing
- Increases circulation in blood stream
- Improves Sleeping
- Can improve cellular Regeneration
- Decreases Stress Levels
The Bemer Pro does this by including adding an all in one package that does not just include the mat and it’s controller but also includes the B. Light and the more targeted device, the B.Scan for full body use for more targeted PEMF use.
The PEMF stats from Bemer is that it runs two different types of frequencies. 10 Hertz and 33 Hertz. This falls outside the 7.83 rating of Schumann Primary Resonance which is the most natural magnetic field frequency you can use. As that frequency mimics the earth’s natural magnetic field. It also uses a 35 to 350 Milligauss which just touches the earth’s frequency of 350 to 650 Milligauss. While this is a good base you will have to be on the mat for a longer period to get fully synced to a natural level.
The Bemer is famous for its Patented “Bemer Waveform ” which has variable frequency sinusoidal waves within a saw tooth envelope. Within this sawtooth envelope is a frequency that repeats 33 times per second with a choice of 10 different intensity settings available.
Bemer states that it’s waveform is superior. When the fact of the matter is there is no proof of studies that actually compare Bemers Waveform against others such as the sinusoidal wave.
Other areas where the Bemer Pro lost some points is the fact that it’s warranty is a bit of a gray area. It does feature a standard 30 day money back and a 3 year warranty. This looks pretty good on the outside but if you start reading inbetween the lines you will notice that for the 30 day money back you need to do the following:
- Return Request Must be made within 30 days
- Product has to be in original packaging
- Addition accessories must be included in package
- Copy of the Invoice
- You must pay the Shipping back
- You get charged a 10% restocking fee
On top of this the 30 day only applies to Bemer and not any of it’s distributors.
In terms of the warranty it is 3 years EXCEPT for the B.Box and the B.Light which only feature a 6 month warranty. These are the most expensive and complex components that are most likely to fail out of the whole package. If you are looking for a better price on Bemer Pro Mats you can go to Ebay and buy Pre – Owned.
