How the mat works

Three therapies. One daily ritual.

Thirty minutes a day on one therapy mat: PEMF, far-infrared deep heat and red light, each adjustable and each usable on its own. Here's what each one does, and why everything under your body runs on direct current.

01 · PEMF

Personalized frequencies through gentle magnetic pulses

29 coils sit under the surface, from your shoulders to your calves. Each one sends short magnetic pulses through your body, at exactly the frequency you choose.

With 122 programs and any frequency from 1 to 999 Hz, there's a setting for every moment of your day. Slow frequencies around 1–3 Hz help you wind down for the night. 7.83 Hz, the natural Schumann resonance of the Earth, brings you back to center during the day. 13–30 Hz wakes you up like a morning coffee. Most people simply feel deeply relaxed; some notice a light tingle.

02 · Red and near-infrared light

Activate your cells with red light

Red light is one of the biggest wellness trends of the last few years, from panels to face masks. Its wavelengths reach the mitochondria, the power plants of your cells, which use the light to make energy.

Your mat uses the two wavelengths red-light devices are built around: 60 LEDs at 660 nm visible red and 29 at 850 nm near-infrared. And unlike a panel you stand in front of, the light reaches your back, hips and legs while you lie still. Use it alone, with the heat, or with all three therapies.

  • 60 LEDs at 660 nm (visible red)
  • 29 LEDs at 850 nm (near-infrared), one at every coil
  • Switches on and off separately

03 · Far-infrared heat

Warmth that goes deeper than a heating pad

A heating wire running on 36 volts of direct current warms a layer of graphene and tourmaline. Both radiate far-infrared, roughly 8–12 µm, the same band your own body gives off. Instead of only warming your skin, the warmth is taken up by the water in your tissue and carried on by your circulation.

The chakra crystal layer on top adds its own far-infrared, stores the warmth and releases it slowly and evenly, like a stone after a sunny day. Ten steps from 86 to 158 °F take you from barely warm for the night to properly hot after a workout, and the timer switches everything off on its own.

  • 86–158 °F in ten steps
  • Graphene and tourmaline far-infrared layers
  • Heating wire on 36 V DC with dual overheat protection
  • Timer with automatic shut-off

The Elvari difference

Recovery without electrical radiation

Most therapy mats run on AC (alternating current), which emits electrical radiation much like a Wi-Fi router. So the one place you lie down to relax and recover becomes the place with the most electrosmog in your home. Quite the opposite of what a therapy mat is for. Here's how electrosmog and PEMF differ.

That's why we reinvented the mat using DC (direct current) technology. Direct current doesn't swing back and forth, so there is no electrosmog emitted in the first place. Proven by third-party testing and laboratory results.

What's inside

Carefully arranged layers to optimize your home therapy session.

  1. Vegan PU leather top

    Durable and easy to care for. If something spills, it wipes right off with a damp cloth.

  2. Chakra crystal layer

    Warmed from below, the natural stones store the heat and release it as deep, soothing far-infrared warmth. Their colors are chosen to balance the chakras.

  3. 29x PEMF coils + 850 nm near-infrared diodes

    Gentle magnetic pulses reach your whole body, from your neck down to your calves. Every coil also shines near-infrared light that penetrates deep below the skin.

  4. 60x red-light diodes at 660 nm

    Red light right under the surface to recharge your cells. Use it together with the other therapies or on its own.

  5. Wear-resistant mesh

    Keeps every stone in place, so the mat stays even and comfortable for years.

  6. DC heating wire with dual overheat protection

    Cozy, even warmth without AC electrosmog. Two independent safety cut-offs let you doze off without a worry.

  7. Graphene and tourmaline far-infrared layers

    Turn the heat into far-infrared, the kind of warmth your body absorbs best, so it reaches deep into tense muscles.

  8. Carbon-fiber, loess clay and aluminum layers

    Spread the warmth evenly from head to toe and reflect it back up toward you, so no heat gets lost.

  9. Insulation and waterproof base

    Keeps the heat on your side: the underside stays cool and your bed or sofa stays dry.

FAQ

Questions about the technology

What frequency should I start with?

7.83 Hz, the Schumann program. It's the default for a reason: gentle, familiar to the body, and the one most customers never switch away from. From there, try the delta programs at night and the alpha or theta programs for a daytime reset.

Why does the mat have both far-infrared heat and near-infrared LEDs?

They are different things. Far-infrared (roughly 8–12 µm) is heat you feel; it comes from the warmed graphene and tourmaline layers. Near-infrared (850 nm) and red (660 nm) are light; you don't feel them, and they come from LEDs under the surface. Red-light devices use exactly these two wavelengths.

What does the PEMF tester do?

It's a small tube with a metal pin that vibrates when you lay it on an active coil. It lets you see and hear that the field is on, which setting is active, and that every coil works. Customers love it; so do skeptical partners.

Can I run PEMF, heat and light separately?

Yes. Each of the three has its own control. Heat only on a cold evening, PEMF only during the night, all three for your 30-minute daily session.

Does direct current make the pulses weaker?

No. The coils are driven by the controller's own DC electronics, exactly as in clinical PEMF devices, which all run on DC internally. Direct current changes what is under your body while you lie there, not how the coils work.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap, dry it, done. Don't fold the mat with the heat still on, and don't store it in direct sun.
