The Hooga Infrared PEMF Mat

The Hooga Infrared PEMF Mat delivers two therapies in one full-body session — pulsed electromagnetic fields paired with deep far-infrared heat — so you can relax, recover, and recharge without switching between devices. As a full-size 73" × 29" PEMF mat with infrared heat, it lays flat on your bed, couch, yoga mat, or massage table and works while you rest.

Compared with the better-known infrared PEMF mats on the market, the Hooga delivers more PEMF cores, a wider frequency range, full mineral transparency, and a foldable design — at roughly half the price. See the full comparison →

What Is PEMF Therapy?

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. Every cell in your body carries an electrical charge. Over time, stress, poor sleep, and everyday wear can leave cells under-charged. PEMF delivers gentle, low-frequency electromagnetic pulses — similar to the Earth's own natural magnetic field — that support your body's cellular processes. It's the same technology used in professional wellness clinics, chiropractic offices, and sports recovery centers worldwide.

Why PEMF and Infrared Heat Work Better Together

Far-infrared heat penetrates deeper than conventional heating pads, reaching below the surface to warm tissues from the inside out. When you combine that deep warmth with PEMF's cellular-level electromagnetic pulses, you get a synergistic experience that neither therapy delivers alone. The infrared heat promotes relaxation and increased circulation while the PEMF supports your body's natural recovery processes — all in a single session.

What's Inside the Mat

This isn't a thin pad with a heating element. The Hooga PEMF Mat is built with multiple functional layers:

5.5 lbs of crushed amethyst — a natural far-infrared emitter that distributes heat evenly across the mat surface
5.5 lbs of black tourmaline — generates negative ions when heated, contributing to a calming environment
6 PEMF cores (upgraded 2024) — evenly distributed across the full 73" x 29" surface for consistent field coverage from head to toe
Multi-layer construction — EMF-blocking layer, waterproof layer, thermal insulation, and a durable outer cover

8 Frequency Presets — Or Set Your Own

The digital controller includes 8 built-in frequency programs designed around well-known brainwave ranges:

Delta (0.5–4Hz) — deep rest and sleep support
Theta (4–8Hz) — relaxation and meditation
Alpha (8–13Hz) — calm focus and stress reduction
Beta (13–30Hz) — alertness and energy
Schumann Resonance (7.83Hz) — Earth's natural frequency, the default setting

You can also set any frequency manually from 1–30Hz using the custom mode. Each PEMF session runs for 20 minutes with automatic shutoff.

Built for Daily Use

At 73" x 29" and 24 lbs, the mat folds in half and fits in the included carrying case. Temperature adjusts from 86°F to 158°F. The mat runs on standard 110V AC power (US outlets). Low-EMF design throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PEMF and how does this mat use it?

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field. The Hooga Infrared PEMF Mat uses six embedded copper coils to generate a low-intensity pulsed magnetic field across the body. You select one of eight frequency presets (1–50 Hz range) or set a custom frequency between 1–30 Hz manually. The mat layers PEMF with far-infrared heat (86–158°F) and a 5.5 lb amethyst / 5.5 lb tourmaline crystal layer. Each PEMF session runs 20 minutes with automatic shutoff.

How does the Hooga PEMF Mat compare to HigherDOSE?

The Hooga mat sits at $699 versus the HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Mat Pro at $1,295. Hooga gives you 6 PEMF cores vs. HigherDOSE's 4, an 8-preset library vs. 4, a 1–50 Hz range vs. 3–23 Hz fixed, plus a custom frequency mode HigherDOSE doesn't offer. We also disclose mineral weights (5.5 lbs amethyst, 5.5 lbs tourmaline) where HigherDOSE does not. HigherDOSE wins on trial length (120 days vs. our 60). For a side-by-side breakdown of all the major mats on the market, see our PEMF Mat Buyer's Guide.

Which frequency preset should I use?

The mat ships with 8 presets covering the 1–50 Hz range, including Schumann Resonance (7.83 Hz) as the default. Most users start with the default Schumann setting and explore other presets over time. If you want a specific frequency that isn't preset, use the custom mode to dial in any value from 1–30 Hz manually.

Can I use the PEMF and infrared heat separately?

Yes. The PEMF and infrared heat functions run on independent controls. You can use either alone or run both together during a single session.

How big is the mat and does it fold for storage?

The mat measures 73" long by 29" wide — full-body length for most adults — and weighs 24 lbs. It folds in half and ships with a carrying case included. Many full-body PEMF mats at this price either don't fold or charge extra for the case.

Is the Hooga PEMF Mat low-EMF?

Yes. The mat uses a low-EMF design throughout and runs on standard 110V AC US household power.

Is this HSA/FSA eligible?

Yes. The Hooga Infrared PEMF Mat is HSA and FSA eligible. You can pay directly with your HSA/FSA card at checkout, or submit your receipt for reimbursement.

What's the warranty and return policy?

The mat is covered by a 2-year warranty and a 60-day in-home trial. If it's not the right fit during the trial window, return it for a refund.

How often can I use it?

The mat is built for daily use. Each PEMF session runs 20 minutes with automatic shutoff. Many users do one session a day; some do morning and evening. Adjust temperature and frequency to your preference.
