Biomat vs PEMF Therapy – A Full Comparison

If you’re trying to discern the difference between Biomat vs PEMF you’re in the right place.

First we should discern the nature of these two words, Biomat, is a brand name, whereas, PEMF is an acronym standing for pulsed electromagnetic field (therapy) which is a therapy that a number of different home products and clinics provide.

Biomat provides infrared therapy, also called far infrared therapy. 

Both infrared and PEMF can be found along the electromagnetic spectrum, but how similar or different are they really?

The most basic difference is that infrared is warm, it’s heat, when you lay on a Biomat you feel yourself warming up.

When you use PEMF, this is a magnetic field, you won’t see it, hear it, or feel it, but it will be there energizing the cells of your body.

A better comparison therefore may be to juxtapose infrared heat therapy with PEMF therapy.

Or perhaps to first evaluate what result you are looking for, and then learn about how infrared, PEMF therapy, or the combination of them both could get you there.

Biomat vs PEMF on the Energy Spectrum

biomat and bemer on the electromagnetic spectrum
Electromagnetic Spectrum Image Credit: Nasa (we added Biomat, Bemer, & Healthy Wave for visualization reference)

In the above image you can see the electromagnetic spectrum; we’ve taken this image from Nasa, as credited above and then overlaid some labels to help you visualize.

You can see there on the spectrum the “infrared” range of electromagnetism.

The light we receive from the sun contains not only the ultraviolet and visible light spectrum, but also the infrared spectrum and this is the part that we feel warming our skin from the inside out when we stand in the sun’s rays.

This infrared section of the spectrum is where the Biomat operates, providing far infrared heat through its high quality amethyst crystals, just like a similar product also noted with Biomat in the infrared section, the Healthy Wave Mat.

Further on the right hand side we see the PEMF section as we’ve noted.

This is further to right than radio waves, in the section of lowest frequency of the spectrum.

In this section we don’t feel the warmth like we do with infrared, yet a pulsed magnetic field will flux through our bodies energizing our cells as it does so.

  1. That’s a great comparison of Biomat and PEMF therapy!

    I’m curious to know more about the specific benefits of each type of therapy. Could you elaborate on the conditions or ailments that infrared therapy and PEMF therapy are most commonly used to treat?

    • Hi Kelly,

      thanks for the question.

      Probably the number one and two they’re both used for is circulation and pain relief.

      Personally I find them helpful in getting sleepy before going to bed as well, with a low frequency PEMF.

      Check out our infrared mat benefits and PEMF mat benefit pages for a full list of benefits though 🙂

  2. How does the BioMat compare to
    The Hoogahealth.com Infrared PEMF mat?
    My son sent me that one from Hooga but I was recommended to get a BioMat.
    I’m very confused about it. Does yours penetrate deeper than 1 1/2 inches ?
    Thank you !

    • Hi Susan!

      The main difference between the Biomat and the HoogaHealth mat is that the Hooga infrared PEMF mat also includes PEMF therapy in addition to infrared therapy.

      With the Biomat you only get infrared therapy – but Biomat does do a great job of their infrared therapy.

      With infrared penetration range, between the Biomat and a HoogaHealth mat, I don’t think there will be a noticeable difference.

      The Biomat does tend to feel like it has a bit better infrared coverage (like a nice even coverage of heat), but that’s just from my sense of feel, just an opinion.

      I don’t think you’ll find an overall noticeable difference between the two when it comes to infrared therapy.

      The Hooga does include PEMF in their mat as well, and one comment I’ll make on that is I would be careful using their Gamma PEMF setting (that’s the highest frequency setting), for some people it can be uncomfortable and I just say that as an opinion again, for myself, high frequency PEMF like that makes me uncomfortable, that’s just me.

      If we’re talking about PEMF therapy though, I usually recommend the Healthy Wave Mat (they have a number of different models), you can see the mat I use at home here on this page I wrote about the benefits of my PEMF mat, or check my in depth somewhat technical comparison of PEMF mats page.

      I think you’ll do just fine with the mat that your son sent you at the end of the day.

      Have a read on the other pages I wrote and just drop a comment if you have any other question 🙂
