“Should I buy a bemer mat” is a question I am often asked by those who are searching for the best PEMF machine.

Do you want to buy a pemf machine but don’t know which to choose? Have you heard of the bemer mat but are not sure if it is the right choice for you and your family? Ten years ago, I was in the exact same position as you. And I have spent the past decade searching for the answers, so I can help you find the best pemf machine for your needs.

I am here to help and in this blog we will take you one step closer to finding your ideal pemf machine. We will answer the question “should I buy a bemer mat”.

What is a bemer mat?

Let’s start with the basics. The bemer mat is a pemf therapy device manufactured by the Bemer Group based in California. Bemer have been developing treatment methods for physical vascular therapy since 1998. The bemer mat is available in two product sets; The BEMER Classic and the Bemer Pro.

Do bemer mats work?

The bemer pemf machine is a good system and I am not about to criticise it unnecessarily. Many people have heard of the bemer mat and it is a good example of a pemf machine for home use. But does that mean it’s the best pemf machine available?

After 10 years of research, in search of the best pemf machine for home use, I have created five key principles that a pemf machine must satisfy in order to be considered the best. The bemer mat is a good system and it can certainly provide benefits, but it has a number of limitations in terms of the pemf parameters it uses, the pemf options it provides, and the way it is constructed.

There is another pemf machine that is better than the bemer mat. Better in terms of pemf features, better in terms of pemf technology, better in terms of construction, and better in terms of value for money. That pemf machine is the new iMRS Prime System.

This often comes as a surprise to my potential clients, who have not yet heard of the iMRS Prime system. You may well be the same. Have you heard of the bemer pemf machine but not the iMRS Prime? Well, you have now!

The reason you’ve probably heard of the bemer mat but not the iMRS Prime is because they have a different marketing strategy.

Where to buy bemer mat?

The bemer mat is only available from specialist distributors. The same is true for the iMRS Prime system. Samuel Maddock Health are specialist iMRS Prime distributors and we have studied pemf therapy extensively to achieve this status. In fact, we completed a pemf expert training program in order to become one of the leading iMRS Prime distributors in the world. The iMRS Prime and the bemer mat sell a similar number of units worldwide each year, but how they achieve this is different.

The bemer mat has a catchy marketing message, and they also use adverts (you have a good chance of seeing bemer group google ads if you search). The bemer mat has also been positioned as the only pemf machine that can help improve circulation. This is simply not the case by the way…

The iMRS Prime is sold in large numbers each year to many very satisfied customers by personal recommendation and word of mouth. (You will not see google ads from the iMRS Prime manufacturer ‘Swiss Bionic Solutions’). These satisfied customers share their secret with friends and family through word of mouth, which is a VERY powerful tool. The iMRS Prime PEMF machine is a great example of the power of word of mouth marketing. It is a great example of power of trust; when you hear someone you trust share their genuine experience from using a PEMF machine from the comfort of their own home, and getting great results. You listen carefully to someone you trust, and you take notice

I am one of those people, I was personally introduced to the iMRS pemf machine a decade ago by someone I trust, and now I am passing on the message to you. I have benefitted personally from using the iMRS Prime system (and the previous generation of the iMRS pemf machine). My friends and family have benefited greatly too. But I am also a primary health practitioner with 20 years clinical experience, who has successfully introduced the iMRS system and PEMF therapy to many hundreds of clients. And trust is at the centre of everything I do…

How much is a bemer mat?

The bemer mat Home-Edition is available at a list price of $5770, whilst the bemer mat Go-Edition is available for $5130.

The bemer mat Home-Edition includes the following:

• B.Box Professional Control Unit
• B.Spot Applicator
• B.Body Applicator
• B.Scan
• B.Grip
• Fixing Strap
• Power Supply Cord
• Wall Mount
• Foot Protector

The bemer mat Go-Edition includes the following:

• B.Box Professional Control Unit
• B.Pad Applicator
• B.Spot Applicator
• Custom Backpack
• B.Scan
• B.Grip
• Fixing Strap
• Power Supply Cord
• Rechargeable Battery
• Car Adapter

How does this compare to the iMRS Prime price? Well, for starters the iMRS Prime system has many more options than the bemer pemf machine. The most comparable system to the bemer Home-Edition in terms of contents is the iMRS Prime Basic System, which has a list price of $4827. As you can see, this is nearly $1000 cheaper than the bemer Home-Edition. But the value doesn’t stop there; there are four further editions of iMRS Prime system, and two optional extras. So the iMRS Prime is a long way ahead of the bemer in terms of options. It has a much longer potential lifespan for your needs too, as you can upgrade between editions at any time, as your needs change.

In terms of a side by side comparison with the bemer Home-Edition, the iMRS Prime Advanced System is the most closely priced at $5687. But as you can see, it comes complete with three PEMF applicators (not two like the bemer), so is much more versatile. But remember the Advanced System is nowhere near the top iMRS Prime system. In fact, due to the generous special offer promotions that we often run at Samuel Maddock Health, at the right time it is possible to pick up the iMRS Prime Expert system for even less. As you can see below, the list of iMRS Prime options is far greater than the bemer mat, and the iMRS Prime offers far greater value for money.

Who benefits from a bemer mat?

A wide range of individuals can benefit from using the bemer mat, just as they can from using the iMRS Prime device. Both devices are an example of a low level frequency and intensity pemf machine. In fact, there are very few contraindications to using low level pemf devices, and it is very safe to use.

In practice, three main contraindications are well established and accepted. These are:

1. Pregnancy.

2. A history of Epilepsy

3. The presence of electronic implants such as a pacemaker or insulin pump.

Each of these are pretty self explanatory safety precautions due to the electrical activity involved with low level PEMF therapy, and the limitations placed upon safety research during pregnancy.

Or so I thought these were widely accepted. As part of being an experienced iMRS Prime worldwide distributor, I have been trained to understand and implement these safety precautions at all times. Every iMRS Prime distributor is trained to do the same, and this safety information has been present in the iMRS user manual for many years.

So you can understand my surprise when I read a press release by The Bemer Group on the 16th December 2020. (You can read the full press release here). Part of the press release contained the following information:

“BEMER Int. AG has become aware of cases in which a causal link between the use of the BEMER therapy system and a technical defect in an insulin pump or a malfunction of a pacemaker (active medical implants) could not be ruled out with absolute certainty. It cannot be ruled out that the electromagnetic fields generated in the BEMER therapy system may have caused these disturbances.

For patients who wear active medical implants (e.g., pacemakers, defibrillators, brain stimulators, muscle stimulators) or implants intended for drug delivery (e.g., drug pumps), the use of the BEMER therapy system could lead to malfunctions in these devices.

On the basis of this information BEMER Int. AG has adapted the corresponding risk assessment and also the instruction manuals, and has included relative and absolute contraindications.”

I was frankly astonished to learn that this standard safety information wasn’t already an established part of the bemer mat manual. I cannot comment on the level of training that bemer representatives receive, but it did concern me that this information was being introduced at such a late stage and that many bemer representatives may still be unaware of this change, not to mention the owners of a bemer mat system who would have been using the bemer pemf machine whilst having electronic implant devices before this information was released.

I would simply make a final point, that at Samuel Maddock Health our lead iMRS Prime distributor is an experienced primary health care practitioner with twenty years clinical experience. Having treated over 15,000 patients during this time, and with a decade of research dedicated to PEMF therapy, discovering the best pemf machine available, and providing the highest standard of guidance and support to all of our clients.

Five reasons to choose the iMRS Prime pemf machine instead of the bemer mat:

• If you are sensitive – Why? Because the iMRS Prime uses a lower PEMF intensity range than the bemer mat, including the specifically designed ‘sensitive’ setting. The iMRS Prime is much more versatile than the bemer therapy PEMF machine, and as a result, is much more appropriate for helping sensitive individuals to benefit from PEMF therapy both in the short and the longer term.
• If you want the best PEMF sleep and relaxation benefits – Why? Because the iMRS Prime uses frequencies below 10Hz and the bemer mat does not. The iMRS Prime includes the well known healing theta frequency range (4-8Hz), which bemer pemf therapy does not include. These frequencies provide many nervous system benefits, including sleep and relaxation. This is because the theta and delta brain wave frequencies (the ones involved in deep relaxation and sleep) are both below 10Hz.
• If you want a home wellness system – Why? Because the iMRS Prime PEMF machine offers unrivalled optional extras and can be easily upgraded to an entire home wellness system. No other pemf machine for home use can do this, or come close to this. With the iMRS Prime you can combine PEMF therapy with Far Infrared therapy, HRV biofeedback therapy, Brainwave entrainment therapy and Colour therapy. This level of options and value is unmatched in the pemf market. The potential benefits of your own iMRS Prime home wellness system are simply unrivalled.
• If you want biofeedback – Why? Quite simply, a pemf machine with Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback is far superior to a pemf machine without it. HRV is the established gold standard measure of the regulation ability of the body, and low HRV status is very closely linked to many health conditions, including the ability to recover from stress. Your HRV score is unique to you, and the better it is, the better your health. The iMRS Prime measures your HRV score, adjusts the pemf settings to your current HRV status, tracks your HRV over time, and helps to improve your HRV over time. The iMRS Prime with HRV biofeedback is fully personalised to you, and adapts to your needs, helping you to maintain and improve your long term wellbeing. Any pemf machine that doesn’t do this, and that includes the bemer mat, cannot be personalised to your needs and cannot adapt to your needs. This makes a huge difference over the long term to your wellbeing.
• If you want to sleep well – Why? Deepening of sleep is actually one of the most commonly reported benefits of low level PEMF therapy and I have seen this many times over the years with my clients. Much of the sleep benefits of PEMF therapy can come from improving regulation of the nervous system, helping the individual to achieve a relaxation state prior to sleep. (If you go to sleep with a calmer nervous system, sleep tends to be deeper with less wakeful periods). The PEMF waveform most suited to creating this effect is the Sawtooth waveform. The iMRS Prime features a sawtooth waveform, the bemer mat does not. When it comes to promoting good sleep, the iMRS Prime pemf system is far ahead of the bemer mat. The iMRS Prime features automated frequency setting changes aligned with the variations of our circadian rhythm  (called the iMRS Organ Clock). The importance of which is backed by Nobel Prize winning independent research.

The iMRS Prime frequency range is between 0.5Hz -25Hz, which follows the independent research backed principles of brainwave entrainment. As part of this, the 1-8Hz range is especially important for the promotion of enhanced relaxation and sleep. The bemer mat features two main frequencies; 33Hz and 10Hz. These frequencies do not match the requirements of the body for deep, restorative sleep.

I have spent the past 10 years searching for the best pemf therapy machine for home use. The iMRS Prime is the best. If you want to find out why, or if you want to place your order today at the best price, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
