CurrentBody Wellness Infrared PEMF Mat
CurrentBody keeps its entry into PEMF pretty simple. There's one full-body mat, combining PEMF with infrared heat, and you don't have to work your way through six different models to figure out which one you're looking at.
The CurrentBody Wellness Infrared PEMF Mat is a home-use mat with nine PEMF intensity levels, adjustable heat up to 167°F and a timer you can set for anything from a short session to several hours.
It's currently listed at $1,279.99 on the US site, although at the time we checked, it was out of stock.
That puts it right into the part of the market occupied by products such as HigherDOSE and some of HealthyLine's full-body mats.
What Are You Actually Getting?
The CurrentBody mat is designed to be laid flat so you can lie on it for a full-body session.
Inside are six electromagnetic coils, with nine PEMF intensity settings. You control the PEMF level, temperature and session time using the attached controller.
The infrared heat can be adjusted up to 167°F (75°C), so you aren't locked into using the mat at one temperature.
CurrentBody has also added amethyst and obsidian stones to the mat. The company associates these with heat retention and other wellness benefits.
We'd look at those as secondary features. If you're buying this specifically as a PEMF mat, the more useful things to compare are the number of PEMF settings, the heat range, the size and comfort of the mat, the warranty and how those stack up against other mats around the same price.
Nine PEMF Levels
This is one of the more noticeable differences between CurrentBody and some of the simpler home PEMF mats.
You get nine intensity levels rather than three or four presets.
CurrentBody groups them roughly into lower settings for relaxation, middle settings around recovery and circulation, and higher settings for more intensive use. Those descriptions are the manufacturer's positioning rather than medical outcomes we're promising.
From a practical buying perspective, nine levels simply give you more room to adjust the experience than you'd get with a mat offering only a handful of PEMF settings.
Whether you actually need nine is another question.
Someone who wants to press one button and use the same setting every evening may never take advantage of them all. If you like being able to experiment with your setup, the extra control is more appealing.
PEMF and Infrared Heat Together
Like HigherDOSE and many HealthyLine mats, CurrentBody combines PEMF with infrared heat.
The heat is adjustable rather than simply on or off, with a maximum temperature of 167°F.
There's also a padded headrest, which is a small detail but a sensible one on something you're supposed to spend a fair amount of time lying on.
The mat comes with its attached remote and charging cable, storage bag and user manual.
It's clearly intended to be something you can pack away rather than install permanently in a room.
That doesn't mean we'd call it genuinely portable in the same sense as a wearable PEMF device. It's still a full-body mat. But being able to put it into a storage bag when you're finished is useful if you don't want wellness equipment permanently taking over the floor.
How Do You Use It?
There's not much ceremony involved.
Lay the mat on a flat surface, plug it in, choose a PEMF level, set the heat and select how long you want the session to run.
CurrentBody recommends starting with shorter sessions two or three times a week and increasing gradually. The timer itself can be set for considerably longer periods, up to nine hours.
Afterwards, the mat needs to cool before being wiped down and put back into its storage bag.
That's really the appeal of this type of PEMF product. There are more advanced systems in this directory with separate applicators, software, control units and extensive programming. This isn't trying to be one of them.
How Does It Compare With HigherDOSE?
These two are natural competitors.
Both give you a full-body home mat combining PEMF with infrared heat, and both sit around the premium-consumer end of the market rather than the professional clinical end.
The big difference is control.
HigherDOSE's Pro Mat keeps PEMF relatively simple with four frequency settings.
CurrentBody gives you nine PEMF intensity levels and lets you adjust the heat and session duration.
So we'd look at the choice partly in terms of personality.
If you want a simple routine with relatively few decisions, HigherDOSE may appeal more.
If you like having more control over the intensity of each session, CurrentBody gives you more to adjust.
HealthyLine is different again because it offers a much larger catalogue with numerous sizes, gemstone combinations and price points.
That's exactly why all three belong in the directory. They're selling similar-looking products, but they're not necessarily selling them to the same buyer.
What Does It Cost?
The CurrentBody Wellness Infrared PEMF Mat is currently listed at $1,279.99 on CurrentBody's US website.
At the time we researched this listing, however, the product was out of stock, with CurrentBody offering an email notification when it becomes available again.
That's worth stating clearly rather than sending someone through expecting to order it today.
Availability and pricing can change, so check the official CurrentBody website for the latest stock status, current price and any available promotions.
Returns and Warranty
CurrentBody currently provides a 60-day money-back guarantee on the PEMF Mat.
There is an important detail: a return made under that guarantee is subject to a 10% restocking fee.
CurrentBody also offers a two-year warranty. Its general warranty covers manufacturing faults, although the remedy differs depending on when a fault occurs. The warranty doesn't cover damage caused by misuse, negligence or unauthorized modification.
As always with a product at this price, we'd read the current terms before ordering rather than relying solely on the headline “60-day guarantee.”
Who Is the CurrentBody PEMF Mat Best For?
This one makes the most sense if you already know you want a full-body home PEMF mat with infrared heat.
It's particularly interesting if you want more adjustability than some of the simpler consumer mats provide. Nine PEMF levels, adjustable temperature and adjustable session length give you quite a bit of control without moving into a professional PEMF system.
It's also refreshingly uncomplicated to shop.
There's one mat. You don't have to figure out whether you need the Standard, Pro, Ultra, Plus or fourth-generation version before you can even compare prices.
For some people, that simplicity is a feature in itself.
When We'd Look Elsewhere
If you want a smaller PEMF mat that you can use over a chair or take with you more easily, we'd compare the HigherDOSE Go Mat and smaller HealthyLine options.
If you want a professional system with separate targeted applicators, sophisticated frequency control or equipment for a clinic or wellness business, CurrentBody isn't really competing in that market.
And if you'd prefer PEMF without infrared heat, there are other systems in the directory that make more sense.
There's also the immediate practical issue: you can't buy this particular mat from CurrentBody US while it's out of stock.
A Word About Health Claims
CurrentBody markets the mat around recovery, relaxation, circulation, sleep and other wellness benefits.
We don't independently claim that the CurrentBody PEMF Mat will treat pain, heal an injury, improve a medical condition or produce a particular health outcome.
CurrentBody also publishes a substantial list of situations where it recommends speaking with a doctor before using the mat. These include pregnancy, pacemakers and other implanted devices, heart conditions, epilepsy, recent surgery, certain implants and a number of other medical circumstances.
If any of those apply to you—or you're considering PEMF specifically because of a medical problem—check CurrentBody's complete safety information and speak with an appropriate healthcare professional before using it.
