Top PEMF Mats of 2023
Updated July 1, 2023
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. PEMF therapy sends magnetic energy into the body. These energy waves work with your body’s natural magnetic field to improve healing. Ultimately, the human body requires electricity to send signals throughout the body and to your brain. PEMF therapy effectively can realign the electricity in your cells.
PEMF therapy mats are an innovative form of treatment and are highly convenient. You can lay your PEMF mat on your couch, bed, or even your office chair and use it whenever you desire. This means that you can give yourself a constant stream of therapy, to treat a host of ailments.
You can use PEMF mats to:
- Reduce inflammation and pain
- Increase circulation in your body
- Treat chronic headaches
- Reduce swelling
- Increase oxygen levels, and more
There have been more and more PEMF machines on the market in the past few years. They vary in terms of gauss, frequency range, waveform, price, signal quality and more. We have reviewed the following machines to help you get the best machine for your particular needs.

QRS 101.5
Best overall signal
QRS was the first PEMF device available for home use and is the only machine we found that was based on the E-function signal, which is the way our body’s electrical processes are carried out. For this reason alone, we rated the QRS very high on our report. In addition to being very compatible with the body, the QRS was also the only machine to hold an EMF blocking patent, ion transport patent as well as a much wider range of frequencies than most of the machines. It reaches 10,000hz while most most machines only reach 33hz or 50hz. Hippocrates Health Institute has switched from Bemer and iMRS to QRS and it was also featured on the Dr. Oz show.

Bemer
Best Customer Service
The Bemer is definitely the most popular of all PEMF mats. They have a tremendous sales force, an aesthetically pleasing device and great marketing. For reasons like these, many people have overlooked the shortcomings of the product itself. The Bemer has proven to be effective at helping very many people while only utilizing two frequencies, 10hz and 33hz, whereas other machines offer up to 10,000hz. Their patented signal, though an inaccurate imitation of the Original E function signal from QRS, nevertheless, has proven to be more effective than many less sophisticated signals on the market. For this reason alone, we consider it still to be one of the better PEMF machines out there.
Pros
- 2 accessories at a time
- Touch screen interface
- Strap and Spot Accessory
- Large commissions if you decide to sell them
- Effective Signal for Improving Circulation

Healthywave
Most Types of Therapies
The Healthy Wave Pro Multi-Wave Mat uses a sinusoidal and square wave. It has gotten much attention mostly because of the additional wave and additional modalities that have been added to the machine such as infrared, crystal and red light therapy. It is a pretty fair all around mat and even has more frequencies than Bemer.
Pros
- Square Wave and Sine Wave 1-30Hz
- Light Spectrum 5-14 um (micro-meter)
- 5 Crystals
- 60 660nm
Price and Coverage
- $2,000

Higherdose
Lowest Priced Mat
We decided to mention this mat because it has become very popular in the past couple of years. This machine is an infrared heating mat with a unknown PEMF waveform and signal. However, we have found significant levels of EMF coming from it. The marketing and low price of this machine seem to be how it has amassed the great majority of it’s popularity, we definitely give it credit for that. But other than that, it appears but be of very low quality and is also putting users at risk of EMF damage. It seems to be marketed at younger customers quite heavily but I would strongly advise them to protect their cells with something of higher grade and no emf.
Pros
- Hot Stone Therapy
- Far Infrared Therapy
- Low price
Technical Info
- 3Hz-23Hz.
- Waveform is unknown
Price and Coverage
- $1,000
- No Trial Period
- 14 Day Return Policy (Unopened)
- 1 Year Limited Warranty
iMRS Pro
Most customizable
The iMRS Pro is another PEMF machine, who like Bemer, had previously marketed the QRS 101 in the mid 1990s. The iMRS however, is a bit closer to have successfully duplicated the original QRS e function signal and even uses a sawtooth wave as well (QRS uses a double sawtooth wave). In addition to this, they have made some interesting additions, such as a Heart Rate Variability monitor, an Integrated Sound-Light Relaxation System and a multitude of preset modes. They use a few more frequencies than the Bemer, have thicker copper coils than Bemer and many others and also offer headphones, goggles and a pen probe like the QRS.
We believe this is definitely one of the better machines out there.
Pros
- Sound and Light System
- HRV monitor
- Electrosmog Filter
Technical Info
- 0-15Hz
- Sawtooth and Square Wave
- Pen probe, Goggles and headphones for accessories
Price and Coverage
- $4565
- No Returns
- Controller - 3 years
- Applicators - Full Body Mat, Pad and Probe - 3 years
- Accessories: Power Adapter, iSLRS, iMORE, Cable - 6 months
- Optional 48 or 60 month Extended Warranty
BioBalance
Most Gauss
The BioBalance PEMF machine was designed to be a less expensive option. However, they have managed to include a fairly large range of frequencies (.5-1000hz), second only to QRS on the list and have also added some gauss for the people that want more intensity. They have 6 modes that help you cycle navigate the frequencies as well. On paper, it looks like a pretty good machine. The very limited machine and accessory warranty makes us think the quality of the Biobalance is lower. Also, they are using a basic sinusoidal wave and make no mention of what signal they are actually working with. Usually, when a company fails to even mention it, it is because the signal is very basic and repetitive like any common PEMF machine.
Pros
- Large frequency range .5hz-1000hz
- 6 programs
- Up to 10 gauss
- Lots of online resources
Technical Info
- Sinusoidal wave
- .5hz-1000hz
- Up to 10 gauss
Price and Coverage
- $2590
- 30 day return policy
- 10% Restocking Fee
- 2 Year Warranty on machine
- 1 Year Warranty on applicators

PEMF Frequently Asked Questions
Plainly put, Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field sessions deliver a pulsed field that surrounds the body in healing energy. Some have described it as “a battery recharger for the human cell” or “magnetically induced cellular exercise”.
All that is required of the patient is to simply lie on a mat or sit with a device placed on the treatment site. Since no physical activity is involved for the patient, most folks feel relaxed during the process.
Will I feel any pain during the treatment?
NO. The magnetic-pulses can be adjusted to you individually so they do not hurt. However, you may feel a warming or tingling sensation.
Anyone from the very young to the elderly can use PEMF safely and without negative side effects. The only contraindications are for those individuals with pacemakers, insulin pumps, or other electrical implants, and pregnancy.
NO. All treatments are administered with you being fully dressed.
Treatment sessions are anywhere from 8 minutes to 1 hour depending on the amount of treatment desired.
Most devices range from 0-50hz while others can reach upwards of 10,000hz
Metal implants in general are fine so long as the area is treated with the recommendations of our doctor.
Drinking water bemer and after your session helps with the transport of ions and other processes. We also recommend vitamin/mineral supplementation.
I use magnets for my wrist and back.
A static magnet is limited to a constant magnetic field whereas pulsed electromagnetic fields involve frequencies thus creating much more profound actions in the body. Pulsed electromagnetic fields are produced when an electrical current passes through a frequency generator. A property of physics is that where there is an electrical current, there is an ensuing magnetic field. The frequencies then ride on the magnetic field, which then pass to the body.
The most important element of pulsed electromagnetic fields is that they are based on specific generated frequencies that resonate with the same cellular frequencies in the body. For example, this resonance affects the red blood cell membrane with release of nitric oxide, NO, among many other actions that cause blood vessel dilatation. This improves circulation of blood and therefore oxygen to tissues.
Most of the mats we review range from .4 gauss to 3 gauss. Many are made around .4 gauss to match the body’s natural low gauss.
Yes, 30 years of solid research. With the introduction and ongoing use of pulsed electromagnetic fields to the body, an induction of electrons creates a natural resonance that the body and its cells recognize and work to maintain. There are over 2000 studies.
Everyone responds differently to PEMFs. Some people feel an increase in energy. Most feel more relaxed muscles, and a definite decrease in their symptoms. Also better breathing and deeper sleep.
Muscle relaxation, obtained through PEMF therapy, contributes in turn to improve microcirculation, the smooth fibres relax and a vasodilating effect is produced. The release of endorphins helps to increase the pain threshold, and slight hyperaemia produces an anti-inflammatory effect.
