Over the past six months, this product has become a coveted part of my daily routine (even though I had no idea what PEMF was just a few months ago). The modality has been recommended and touted by athletes, biohackers, and wellness experts alike as a way to boost your health and well-being routine. But if you’re wondering what exactly a PEMF mat actually does for your routine, I’m here to give you the full scope—and reveal why you shouldn’t miss your chance to save with promo code MBG15. Plus, if you order by 12/15 you’ll receive it before Christmas. While the sauna blanket is the brand’s most talked-about item, it’s not the only offering. The PEMF mat is another popular pick with people like New York Times bestselling author Gabby Bernstein, part of lifestyle blogger Lauren Bosstik’s meditation practice, and of course, my daily routine. The PEMF mat utilizes Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology to “recharge” your cells by sending electromagnetic waves through your body. These waves are delivered in small bursts, mimicking the natural healing frequencies of the Earth. It also channels the benefits of infrared technology with a low-EMF layer of infrared lights, which help the body with recovery and pain relief. By marrying together the above-mentioned technologies, this mat becomes a true all-in-one relaxation and recovery tool. It’s great for boosting your mood, reducing stress levels, soothing sore muscles, and increasing your energy. Personally, I noticed some pretty staggering results after just a couple of weeks of use—results that have continued to build through months of regular use. Level 1: 3hz - Delta Brain Wave is recommended for when you are feeling anxious and want to restore balance or to help prepare for a restful sleep. Level 2: 7.8hz - Theta Brain Wave + Schumann Resonance is great for relaxation after being overstimulated by technology usage, or if you’ve been stuck inside all day. Level 3: 10hz - Alpha Brain Wave helps promote mindfulness and wakeful relaxation and is especially beneficial when used during meditation. Level 4: 23hz - Beta Brain Wave helps promote mental function, increased concentration, and improved memory. Not meant to be used before bedtime or if you are feeling anxious, this setting is like a healthier alternative to an afternoon coffee. What’s great is you can use the mat as often as you want. Simply plug it in, give it about 15 minutes to warm up, and select the setting of your choice. The brand even has a smaller version, which uses the exact same technology and can be easily placed on your chair throughout the day. The larger mat is about the size of a yoga mat—and many people actually like to do their yoga flows on it for boosted results and grounding. Just know the mat is not light. It weighs 43 pounds and has about 20 pounds of healing amethyst and tourmaline crystals sewn into the fabric. While the brand’s sauna blanket helps you work up a pretty intense sweat, the optional heat in this PEMF mat is much milder. And, of course, you’re not enveloped in it. That said, if you do crank it up to 7 (the mat’s highest heat setting), you’ll likely find yourself getting a bit toasty. In terms of muscle relief, this mat proved itself as a useful part of my marathon training regimen. During the months of heavy mileage, I’d spend 20 minutes on the mat each morning and evening and felt significantly less sore than during previous training cycles. Research backs these results too, with studies showing a significant improvement in pain or stiffness1 while using PEMF therapy. Also worth noting: On nights when I skip my PEMF mat session, I notice a dip in my sleep scores in my Oura ring app, with significantly less time spent in deep sleep.
