Question 1

What is PEMF and how does this mat use it?

Accepted Answer

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field. The Hooga Infrared PEMF Mat uses six embedded copper coils to generate a low-intensity pulsed magnetic field. 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.

Question 2

How does the Hooga PEMF Mat compare to HigherDOSE?

Accepted Answer

The Hooga mat is $699 versus the HigherDOSE Infrared PEMF Mat Pro at $1,295. Hooga has 6 PEMF cores versus HigherDOSE's 4, 8 frequency presets versus 4, a 1–50 Hz range versus 3–23 Hz fixed, plus a custom frequency mode HigherDOSE doesn't offer. Hooga discloses mineral weights (5.5 lbs amethyst, 5.5 lbs tourmaline). HigherDOSE has a longer trial (120 days vs. 60 days).

Question 3

Which frequency preset should I use?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Can I use the PEMF and infrared heat separately?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

The mat measures 73 inches long by 29 inches wide — full-body length for most adults — and weighs 24 lbs. It folds in half and ships with a carrying case included.

Question 6

Is the Hooga PEMF Mat low-EMF?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 7

Is this HSA/FSA eligible?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

What's the warranty and return policy?

Accepted Answer

The mat is covered by a 3-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.

Question 9

How often can I use it?

Accepted Answer

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.
