Healthyline PEMF JET Mat

The Healthyline JET Mat earns our top spot as the best PEMF mat overall. Through our comprehensive testing measuring peak gauss, average energy induced over time, and field distribution at multiple heights, the JET series consistently outperformed competitors.

What sets the JET series apart is its impressive 30 Gauss PEMF intensity on the Pro model (20 Gauss on other models), combined with the highest average energy induced of any mat we tested at 9.3 volts. This translates to deeper tissue penetration and more effective cellular stimulation. The 1-30 Hz frequency range covers the ideal spectrum that aligns with brainwaves, with the addition of 0.25Hz and 0.5Hz settings for deep sleep and recovery.

The JET mats feature a hybrid pulse type combining both slow and quick pulses at a 50% duty cycle when running at 30Hz. This gives you the benefits of both: quick pulses for pain and bone regeneration, and slower pulses for improved blood flow. Unlike competitors that use pulse bursts or varying patterns, the JET delivers true evenly-spaced pulses at your selected frequency.

Our field distribution testing showed the High Intensity Jet Mat ranks 3rd overall, using 8 strategically-placed higher-intensity coils that create excellent magnetic field repulsion, pushing the field upward with a slower drop-off rate than most competitors. At 5 inches above the mat, you still receive 5-13% of peak intensity.

Unlike competitors, Healthyline mats include Electrosmog Protection Technology—a critical feature that protects you from surrounding electrosmog created by other electronic devices. Additional features include far infrared heat and natural crystals (amethyst, tourmaline, obsidian) which add negative ion therapy.

UTK Bio PEMF Infrared Mat

The UTK Bio PEMF Infrared Mat takes our #2 spot by delivering solid therapeutic power in a lighter, more manageable package. For users who want the benefits of both PEMF and infrared heat without the weight of crystal-infused mats, the UTK offers a compelling option.

The UTK delivers 10 Gauss intensity with a frequency range of 1-99 Hz—notably broader than the Healthyline's range. This extended frequency range gives users more flexibility, though it extends beyond the 1-30 Hz range that has the most clinical research backing.

The mat features a quick pulse (square wave) design, which studies suggest may be particularly effective for pain relief and bone regeneration. The inclusion of far infrared heat complements the PEMF therapy, helping to relax muscles and improve circulation before the electromagnetic treatment begins.

By eliminating heavy crystal layers, the UTK is significantly lighter and easier to move, store, or transport than crystal-infused alternatives. This makes it a practical choice for users who need to roll up their mat after each session or have limited storage space.

Omi Beyond PEMF Mat

The OMI Beyond PEMF Mat is the ideal choice for users who want pure PEMF therapy with maximum programmability. Unlike mats that combine multiple therapies, the OMI Beyond focuses entirely on delivering exceptional electromagnetic field therapy with unmatched customization options.

The OMI Beyond represents a significant upgrade from the original OMI mat, increasing intensity from 4.5 Gauss to over 12 Gauss—more than double the previous version. This intensity improvement dramatically enhanced its PEMF field distribution ranking. The 1-99 Hz frequency range provides 99 different individual frequency settings using simple, evenly-spaced single pulses.

But what truly sets it apart is the companion smartphone app with 100+ pre-programmed therapy protocols designed for specific conditions and wellness goals—from sleep enhancement to energy boost to pain relief. Even better, the app allows you to create custom programs, setting your own frequency combinations and session durations.

Our testing found the OMI Beyond's field distribution ranks 7th overall. While the coils are placed slightly too close to the edges (creating a weaker center), this effect becomes less noticeable at higher distances as magnetic field lines repel each other in the center, projecting upward. With peak gauss over 10, even the weaker center delivers relatively decent intensity.

MiraMate Big Magic PEMF Mat

Important Note: The MiraMate Big Magic is a targeted PEMF applicator, not a full-body mat. Measuring approximately 22" x 16", this half-body pad is designed for localized treatment of specific areas such as the back, abdomen, or legs—not for full-body coverage.

The Big Magic operates at a single frequency of 7.83 Hz—the Schumann Resonance, which matches Earth's natural electromagnetic frequency. This is the frequency that humans have evolved with, and many believe it's the most harmonious for biological systems. However, unlike the other mats, you cannot adjust the frequency.

Intensity is selectable between 80 or 150 Gauss—substantially higher than the full-body mats, but concentrated in a smaller area. Our testing measured 156.6 Gauss peak with average energy induced at 0.152V. The very short pulse width (about 0.1ms) creates an extremely low duty cycle of 0.08%, meaning while peak intensity is high, the cumulative energy delivered over time is lower than mats with higher duty cycles.

Our field distribution testing ranked the MiraMate #1 overall for both mats and pads. It uses a unique printed circuit board (PCB) coil design that creates a grid of planar coils under the entire surface. This means coils cover the entire mat area, creating magnetic field lines that repel off each other and push upward, resulting in the slowest drop-off rate of any device tested—at 10.5 inches above the surface, the field is still stronger than most competitors at 3.5 inches.

The Big Magic requires connection to a power outlet and is not battery-powered. At See current price, it's the most affordable option—but remember, you're getting a targeted half-body applicator (22" x 16"), not a full-body system.

QRS - Quantron Resonance System PEMF Mat

The QRS (Quantron Resonance System) is a low-intensity PEMF mat that ranks second-best in our field distribution testing. This is a unique case where excellent coil design partially compensates for very low intensity.

With a peak intensity of only 0.25 Gauss (250 milligauss), the QRS is among the lowest-intensity mats we tested. However, it uses a large wire looped in an oval pattern under the mat's surface rather than traditional coils. This extensive wire coverage creates excellent magnetic field distribution, with outer wires repelling inner field lines upward, resulting in a slow drop-off rate similar to much more expensive systems.

The QRS offers 3 modes: Basics, Vital, and Relax. All use intensity-modulated pulse bursts. The "Basics" mode uses 4 pulse bursts in a repeatable pattern, while "Vital" mode consists of pulses at various intervals, and "Relax" mode uses longer intensity-modulated bursts. The QRS has electrosmog protection technology—a rare feature it shares with Healthyline.

Bemer Pro PEMF Mat

The Bemer Pro PEMF mat is well-known for its patented "Bemer pulse"—a unique pulse burst pattern of increasing intensity and shortening pulse width. While this technology is interesting, our testing revealed significant limitations in intensity and value.

The Bemer Pro reaches 1.52 Gauss peak intensity on the main mat. Our field distribution testing revealed that the Pro's softer construction allows coils to shift from optimal positioning, affecting performance. The design uses 2 large oval coils at the bottom (legs) and 4 medium circular coils in the middle and top.

The Bemer Pro offers 2 frequency modes: a standard 33Hz pulse burst and a "sleep mode" at 10Hz. However, our testing revealed that even in regular mode, the device alternates between 33Hz and 10Hz every few minutes—not just during sleep mode as advertised. The Bemer Pro includes a belt (12.5 Gauss) and B-Spot applicator (95.9 Gauss), which are significantly more intense than the mat itself.

Swiss Bionics Omnium 1 PEMF Mat

The Swiss Bionics Omnium 1 features their signature "Organ Clock" system with morning, noon, evening, and night modes. While the concept is appealing, our testing revealed some significant issues with actual frequencies versus advertised frequencies.

The Omnium 1 advertises frequencies of 15Hz (Morning), 5.5Hz (Noon), 3Hz (Evening), and 0.5Hz (Night). However, our oscilloscope testing revealed different actual frequencies: approximately 15Hz, 12Hz, 12Hz, and 9Hz respectively. The "math" used to calculate these advertised frequencies is inconsistent across modes. All modes use sawtooth wave pulse bursts—4-5 pulses grouped together, then spaced with pauses.

Intensity varies significantly across the mat: the foot area measures 1.6 Gauss, the middle 1.1 Gauss, and the head area only 0.6 Gauss—about one-third the foot intensity. The "sensitive" setting measures just 8 milligauss, essentially providing no measurable PEMF above the mat surface. The included pillow/pads use a completely different square wave pattern at approximately 29,750Hz underlying frequency.

BioBalance by Dr. Pawluk PEMF Mat

The BioBalance by Dr. Pawluk is unique among PEMF mats for using carrier frequencies—a technology borrowed from radio communications where a high-frequency "carrier" signal is modulated at lower therapeutic frequencies. While this sounds impressive, our testing revealed significant limitations in actual performance.

The BioBalance advertises 10 Gauss intensity, but our testing measured only 6.6 Gauss peak—even when pressing the sensor directly into the mat to get as close to the coils as possible. The mat uses continuous EMF programs (not traditional pulses) with carrier signals of 300Hz, 600Hz, 800Hz, and 1000Hz, modulated at lower frequencies for 3 programs.

The 6 programs include: Balance (7.8Hz modulation with carrier), Alert (13-23Hz sweep with carrier), Relax (13-4Hz descending sweep with carrier), Sleep (3.5-0.5Hz continuous), Recovery (10Hz continuous), and Sweep (1-1000Hz continuous). Our field distribution testing ranked the BioBalance second-worst among full mats—at 3.5 inches above the mat, the strongest spot measured only 5% of peak intensity.

Higher Dose PEMF Mat

The Higher Dose PEMF Mat appears visually similar to Healthyline mats but performed significantly worse in our testing. While imitation mats may look the same, our comprehensive testing proves they certainly do not perform the same.

The Higher Dose mat uses only 4 coils located in the center of the mat, leaving the bottom quarter of the mat with virtually no PEMF coverage. Our testing measured 4.7 Gauss peak intensity—about 4x lower than Healthyline's comparable TAJ and TAO models (18.5+ Gauss). The advertised frequencies are also significantly incorrect: they claim 3Hz, 7.8Hz, 10Hz, and 23Hz, but our testing revealed actual frequencies of 15Hz, 7.5Hz, 5.5Hz, and 2.5Hz.

Our field distribution testing ranked the Higher Dose mat last among all full-size mats. The limited coil placement creates quick intensity drop-offs around the sides and head, and as mentioned, the bottom quarter has essentially no coverage. This design leads to only the middle center of the mat having reasonable PEMF coverage.
