What sets the HigherDOSE PEMF Mat apart

In a world that rarely slows down, the HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Pro Mat promises a daily reset. It combines Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy with deep infrared heat, plus layers of jade, tourmaline, charcoal, clay, and a magnetic layer.

The result is recovery and relaxation you can feel. For many, it works like an at-home retreat that becomes part of the daily routine.

As Nikki shared:
"I love this thing. I use it every single day...I meditate on it, lay back on it when I need a break from work, etc. It's also been motivating me to stretch more. My chiro told me that my neck feels good for the 1st time in a year."

HigherDOSE offers two main options:

🔹 The PEMF PRO mat is full-size and designed to cover the whole body, ideal for a dedicated spot at home. It works well for yoga, stretching, or quick rest.

🔹 The smaller, portable Go mat is lighter and easy to move. It fits well at your desk, in bed, or wherever you need targeted relief.

We also compare the HigherDOSE mat to the BON CHARGE PEMF mat. That includes a side-by-side of features, size, and price. If you're looking for what sets each one apart, real-world use, or which celebrities use HigherDOSE, keep reading.

Also pets love the HigherDOSE PEMF mat

"We love our mat! Everyone in the family uses it! Even our bulldog, Louie!" - Nikki B. 

HigherDOSE doesn’t offer a pet mat yet, so if your pet loves stealing your spot, it’s worth protecting your mat and giving them their own. 👉 Check out our PETSPEMF review.

Family Use

The mat is popular with families and often becomes part of their daily wellness routine. It’s not just one person benefiting: kids, older adults, and even pets can get something from using it.

"Love my Higher Dose mat!!! I literally do my morning routine, meditations, yoga, relaxation, and recovery on my mat. My son is four years old and absolutely LOVES being on this mat. I’ve tried to move it to the yoga room, but he will not let it leave the family room. Thank you for creating such a healing mat with such incredible vibes!"- Kelly

"This has been a game-changer. Also, my partner finds relief from the mat as well for sore and overworked muscles." - KC

Ideal Gift

Many reviewers say they’ve given the mat as a gift. It’s a popular choice for anyone focused on health, wellness, or self-care.

"We received the mat as a Christmas gift. I’m obsessed - I use it daily! I’m sleeping better and my husband loves the infrared feature for his neck and back pain. It’s the gift you didn’t know you needed!" - Harriet

"My daughter loves it. Yes, she likes her new PEMF pad. I told her I was sending something warm up to her, she lives in Alaska. She said, “warm is good” :-) She was really surprised and does likes hers, as I enjoy mine too! Thankyou!" - Mark L.

Yoga and Meditation

The mat is a go-to for yoga and meditation users. Many say it helps them relax more deeply and stay focused during their practice.

"Honestly this felt like such an indulgent purchase, but I'm so glad I went for it. We use it every single day for relaxation, stretching, and hot yoga. It has helped lower my anxiety and ease physical tension. I really love it! My only wish is that it heated up a little faster." - April M.

"I use this mat every day, usually in the evenings. I tend to meditate or listen to my favorite music while lying on the mat! It's so relaxing that I don't want to get off of it." - Deborah K.

user considerations

🔹 A learning curve was mentioned in relation to maximizing the use of all features

🔹 A few users mentioned an annoying "beep" sound when changing settings.

🔹 Some users found the large mat (43 lbs) a bit bulky for storage or travel. But many say the 11 lb GO Mat, with the same core tech, is perfect for chair sessions and on-the-go use.

🔹 Although the initial investment was noted as high, many users felt the benefits justified the cost.

---

things to keep in mind

🔹 Think carefully in advance what you want to use the mat for. At 20 kilos, the large mat is quite heavy to easily move and store.

🔹 The smaller mat is more flexible to carry but still quite sturdy and will not fit in all chairs.

🔹 Depending on what you use the mat for, it is advisable to cover the mat with a cover. HigherDOSE offers these mat covers at a significantly high cost.

🔹 The price of the mat has risen considerably in the last years and is now at the high end of the market.

🔹 We also suggest you check out our buyer's guide for PEMF mats, and some important (pre)cautions.

What sets the HigherDOSE INFRARED PEMF PRO MAT apart from their Sauna Blanket?

---

higherdose pemf mat therapies and benefits

The HigherDOSE's PEMF Therapy mat targets anyone wanting to improve health and speed up recovery. It works well for stress, muscle soreness, sleep issues, or just as a way to relax and recharge. 

PEMF THERAPY

PEMF technology uses safe, low-frequency electromagnetic waves to support the body’s natural recovery. It’s different from the harmful waves found in x-rays or microwaves [1].

The mats combine PEMF with far-infrared heat, negative ions, and crystals, all calibrated to work together for better results.

PEMF therapy is FDA-approved for things like non-union fractures, post-surgery pain, and osteoarthritis [2]. It’s also common for chronic pain, recovery, rehab, and reducing inflammation.

👉 Learn more about the science behind PEMF for pain, PEMF for athletic recovery, PEMF for sleep, PEMF for anxiety, PEMF for inflammation, and PEMF for Osteoarthritis.

---

"I bought the mat earlier and should have bought the cover at the same time. It lets me crank up the heat when I want to while providing some protection and it makes for easy cleanup since I can just throw it in the washing machine." -  Nicole G.

---

Infrared therapy

HigherDOSE focuses on infrared wellness, using far infrared heat to reach deep tissues, aid healing, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation [3]. Their devices, like the popular infrared sauna blankets, aim to relax the whole body while keeping electromagnetic exposure low for safety.

Here’s our article with more on PEMF technology, and another detailed piece on the benefits of combining PEMF and infrared therapy.

Chrystal therapy

Crystal therapy uses the vibrations from stones to support well-being. HigherDOSE chose amethyst and tourmaline for their mats.

Amethyst is thought to calm the mind, ease stress, reduce irritability, and balance mood [4]. Tourmaline is a semi-precious stone believed to promote calm and reduce stress.

NEGATIVE ION THERAPY

When heated, these gemstones naturally release negative ions [5]. Tourmaline produces the most negative ions, which can help the body recover energy and support detoxification [6].

Charcoal, Clay, and Magnetic Layers

The charcoal layer is believed to help bind surface toxins and support detox through sweat. The clay layer may emit negative ions and assist with heat regulation. A grounding magnetic strip is said to support blood flow and circulation.

"I didn’t expect the Matt to give me such profound neurological benefits. I was mainly looking forward to the benefits for my body. But after using it I was pleasantly surprised that the Matt was able to help with my sleep so much." - Patrick B.

higherdose pemf mat THERAPY SETTINGS AND tech specs

The mat is built for easy use with simple controls to adjust PEMF and infrared settings. It includes:

🔹 20 pounds of amethyst and tourmaline gemstones in the larger mat.

🔹 Far infrared technology.

🔹 PEMF with 4 cores and four frequency levels: 3, 7.8, 10, and 23 Hz. The program runs for 20 minutes. The waveform isn’t specified but is likely a sine wave, common for gentle delivery. Intensity and pulse frequency details aren’t available. 👉 More about PEMF waveforms and intensity

🔹 It operates safely within 0.2 to 0.8 milligauss, well under the 2 milligauss limit set by ICNIRP.

higherdose pemf mat SPECIFICATIONS

🔹 Materials include non-toxic, non-VOC PU leather, plus layers of charcoal, clay, and a magnetic layer.

🔹 The maximum temperature inside the mat reaches 158°F (70°C). The surface typically stays 50 to 60 degrees cooler.

🔹 Use time options are 1 hour, 3 hours, or 12 hours. PEMF runs during the first 20 minutes of each hour.

🔹 HigherDOSE’s large mat runs on 110V for the US only. Using it elsewhere can void the warranty and damage the mat. The Go Mat supports multiple voltages, 110V for the US and Canada, 230V for the UK, and 220-240V for Europe, making it better for international use.

🔹 The main difference between the mats is size and weight.

Undecided on size? Why choose when having both gives you ultimate flexibility

"I own the full size and travel size mats and prefer the full size as my whole body can rest on the mat. It has been great for my arthritis and muscle pains. I am addicted to using it on a daily basis, but I do use the travel size when I am on the road." - Robert M.

Final thoughts on the higherdose pemf mat

The HigherDOSE PEMF Mat is way more than just a wellness gadget. It’s a carefully designed, all-around solution that helps support your body, mind, and mood. By combining FDA-cleared infrared therapy that works deep to reduce inflammation with powerful PEMF technology and the added boost of crystal healing, it offers a fresh and effective way to relax and recover.

The Pro Mat weighs 43 pounds (19.5 kg), needs two people to carry it, and requires some storage space. But if you’re on the go or short on room, the travel-friendly Go Mat packs the same powerful technology into a smaller, easier-to-carry version. Both mats use far less energy than many PEMF mats, making HigherDOSE a more eco-conscious, cost-effective choice for daily use.

What makes this mat stand out is that doctors trust it to help patients with chronic conditions, and it’s also a favorite among wellness-minded celebrities.

The 120-day money-back guarantee says a lot about how much HigherDOSE stands behind the mat. You get plenty of time to try it, feel the difference, and return it if it’s not right for you.

Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing pain, or just want to upgrade your wellness routine, the HigherDOSE PEMF Mat blends science-backed therapy with real-life benefits in a way that’s hard to match.
