How are you sleeping these days?
Here at The Soothe, we value rest just as much as productivity—that’s why sleep is serious business. From pink noise to daily tips, we’re always looking for new ways to improve our sleep quality. This time, the spotlight is on the Bio-Mat: a a heated mat that lulls you into relaxation. But what is it?
Recovery Systems’ Bio-Mat uses impressive technologies and different crystals in a single mat, with 3 high-quality copper PEMF coils, 24 red therapy lights, amethyst, tourmaline, and jade. These all have unique benefits that promote overall well-being.
How does the Bio-Mat work its sleeping magic?
Recovery Systems’ best PEMF Bio Mat elevates your sleep and comfort in five ways:
1. PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy – Proven to reduce inflammation, stimulate cell metabolism, and enhance the body’s natural recovery process, this treatment has been tried and tested for decades. (The folks over at NASA also give it a thumbs up!)
2. Far Infrared Rays – While we usually avoid the sun’s rays with SPF, far infrared rays penetrate about 4-5 cm into the skin. This increases blood circulation and improves the growth and repair of new muscles, cells, and tissues. It also strengthens the cardiovascular system and modulates sleep patterns.
3. Negative Ions – These are known to clear airborne allergens such as pollen, mould spores, bacteria, and viruses. Their biochemical reactions also increase serotonin (a happy hormone), helping alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost daytime energy.
4. Heat - From hot compresses to saunas, heat is known for therapeutic effects such as improving flexibility of collagen tissues, decreasing stiffness in joints, lessening inflammation, and aiding recovery and healing.
5. Photon Red Light Therapy – A small packet of light low-heat laser at a frequency of 660nm; this has beneficial neuro modulations absorbed by the mitochondria. This helps with regeneration and anti-ageing and triggers the repair and growth of cells.

As for the gems, jade and amethyst emit long waves, infrared, and negative ions when heated. These relieve arthritis pain, deep muscle tissue pain, and hypertension. Meanwhile, when heated, tourmaline creates a piezoelectric effect-the ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress-which improves the immune, endocrine, and lymphatic systems. Further, these gems can also lessen insomnia and stimulate regeneration throughout the body.
The verdict?
After trying the mat every day for one week, The Soothe’s Lynda Williams only has good things to say: “[I used it] for 30 minutes at the end of each day. It was super relaxing and a brilliant way to manage my stress at the end of each day. My sleep on the days I used it was definitely sounder and I stayed longer in deeper sleep. Highly recommended using this for longer term effects!”
