HealthyLineTAJ Far Infrared Heating Pad - Small Natural Crystal Gemstones Mat - Electric Auto Shut Off - Rejuvenating Negative Ions and Photon Lights - 32" x 20"

Bought this one year ago and I still love it as a heated restorative yoga mat, but if I had the chance for a do-over, I would either choose the larger Pro version (wider + longer) or the rainbow chakra version (more stones, more red lights). The controller is extremely basic and requires a lot of clicks of the same button (click to access the heat, click to change the heat setting, click to save the heat setting, click to access the timer, click again to change the timer, etc.) but once I figured it out, it's been easy enough to use, and I believe they all have the exact same controller so it wouldn't matter if I'd gotten a different mat. The heat is so incredibly relaxing, especially in the winter, and while the stones can feel a bit hard when you put the mat on the floor, it comes with a padded cover. I use it without the cover so I can access the lights, occasionally I'll throw a yoga blanket down if I'm doing kneeling poses. However, this thing is definitely heavy. I leave it out on the floor in my guest room so I can use it daily, and I hate when guests come and I have to put it away! it's bulky and folds up (doesn't roll) filling about the same space as a suitcase and probably weighs close to 30 pounds. My biggest regret is that this only has 4 rows of red lights. I'd like quite a few more. No idea if the stones really do anything, but I appreciate having them. I have definitely noticed mobility improvements after using red light therapy on my knee, so if I had the option to buy this over again or trade it in, I'd go for a version with as many lights as I could get. If you don't care about the lights and just want access to the heat and stones, this is a great mat! I'm 5'4 and fit on it comfortably, but if you're taller and want full coverage you might choose to size up.

I think this really helps feel good

Not a bad item but I wouldn't have about it

Do not buy this from amazon-If you buy this from amazon, the 90 day window to return is NOT allowed, the company said only 45 days if you buy from amazon. Also, I got this for my son who has pain and other Lyme symptoms-we read all instructions and researched lots and WANTED this mat to help him in some way, but it has done nothing. If anything, it made him worse, more dehydrated (he drank lots of water as instructed) and it is not comfortable to lie on. Because we were so hopeful and thought time would help, he kept trying it but finally two of his doctors said to STOP using it because it seems to detox and dehydrate him too much. But, I was past the 45 day window so I am now sitting here with a costly waste.

I love this mat so much. I have been on a 10 year journey to healing my chronic health issues - I've been diagnosed with three different auto-immune issues and have struggled with inflammation and fatigue. I cleaned up my diet (organic, grass fed, no grains or cow dairy) my air (I use Austin Airmate and turn off all wi-fi, all my internet is hardwired and I limit cell phone use) my water (Big Berkey -- Brita etc. was not enough for me) and after all that I was feeling so much better. But if I was exposed to any toxins (in food, water, air, toxic emotions, stress, etc.) then I would still get flare ups of my old symptoms. A huge turning point for me was when I started doing Nutritional IVs (minerals, NAD, vitamin C, glutathione etc.) which built up my system and I believe prepared me to be able to detox. Also I opened up my detox pathways using the advice from Dr. Ben Lynch. That was a huge piece. Then I started detoxing! Castor oil packs, ozone therapy, and hyperbaric chambers have worked for me and I started detoxing all the pesticides, parasites, toxins that have built up in my system over the years.Enter: THIS MAT. I believe this mat has been helping me to detox, and also helping my system to switch into a parasympathetic state so I can heal. I use all the functions, and am so glad I bought this one that does so many different things. I love the PEMF, Dave Asprey and Ben Greenfield have some good podcasts to explain how PEMF works and can help you. PEMF can be really expensive so I love that I get it in mat form at a good price. I love the red light feature. I almost bought a 1k Joov light system and am so glad I chose this instead. Its much more cost effective, and you can lay on it which I like. So I can be reading a book and get my red light therapy. Last but not least the infrared sauna feature. This relaxes me, puts me to sleep, helps me detox, I LOVE IT. Can't say enough good things!!!I also will add, 2 years ago I tried out a biomat. Much more expensive, but also made me really tired and didn't make me feel better. I think at the time, my body wasn't ready for the detox or healing power of the mat, or I just didn't give it enough time to see if it could work, or I didn't go low and slow enough. Could be all of those things. But my sense is, this is similar to the biomat, just more cost effective and you get a bunch of different modalities in ONE!My dog loves this mat too. Dogs are so intuitive, so if she loves it, must be good things happening ;)Another random thing thats been helping me, I bought a vibration plate for $150 on Amazon, helps with moving lymph. And the Vielight 655 prime, red light therapy that has been helping clean my blood. I had dirty dark blood before and now I have beautiful bright red happy blood. Flood Your Body with Oxygen by Ed McCabe talks about clean vs. dirty blood. Its a cool time to be sick, thanks to the internet we can all share information and help eachother get well. I've learned so much from Dr. Google and friends!!All that to say, I am almost to 100% full healing. Its been quite the journey. Thanks be to God, he is SO GOOD! And so cool! Our bodies are so cool that they are able to heal. Grateful for this mat as it has definitely been a huge piece in my puzzle!!

This is an updated review. I initially was not sure. But I figured out I had to find the settings and time that work for me best. I kept playing w the heat and PEMF setting and length of time until I found what works. THIS MAT CAN BE PHENOMENAL ONCE YOU KNOW WHAT SETTING WORKS FOR WHICH CIRCUMSTANCE… I spend 30 mn on it w 120 heat 20 PEMF and red light on … the heat is comforting ….it heals, plumps my face (from relaxation I guess) I recover faster from workouts (I actually just realized I m working out almost everyday without needing down time)… I m loving it now and I will keep it (after I decided to return it then gave it another shot. The problem w my initial review was that I used to crank up the heat and PEMF and stay a bit long and that was not the right thing for me I guess)——Initial review:The first few times I used the mat, I got comforting heat that put me to sleep but after 5-6 uses I started to feel tingling in my body with and after each use like electricity or something … similar to when you hold your iPhone for long periods of time and the battery heats up and the emitted heat bothers you in a an annoying « electric » way haha not very pleasant. I don’t have experience w these mats but I can say I am not getting the benefit I paid for .. to the contrary, perhaps it may be doing something weird … I wonder if other experienced the same or whether this specific Mat is defective!
