Healthy Wave PEMF Mat Vs Higher Dose PEMF Mat
The Higher Dose is an infrared PEMF released by the Higher Dose brand who is primarily well known for their sauna blankets. This mat is an imitation of our Original 5 Therapy Healthy Wave Mats which were originally released in 2017. In this comparison we will show you that while the Higher Dose mats look at the same when it comes to performance and PEMF technology the Healthy Wave Mats are vastly superior. |

There is only two option available for the HigherDose Infrared PEMF Mats, the full sized mat and the “Go mat” which is comparable to our chair mat. Healthy Wave Mats have a large variety of different models containing different levels of PEMF Technology depending on your needs as well as a variety of different sizes of mats. All Healthy Wave Mats also contain multiple therapies such as far infrared heat, negative ions, low level red light therapy and natural crystal energy. |
Healthy Wave & Higher Dose PEMF Programs |
|
The Healthy wave mats focus on true earth based frequencies within the 0-30Hz range.
|
Higher Dose advertises 4 programs of 3-23Hz. From our testing there are only 4 programs at 2.5Hz, 5.45Hz, 7.5Hz and 15Hz. |
From the options the Healthy Wave Mats provide you have more programs and frequencies in all the different mat models available. Like most imitations there are limited PEMF frequencies to select from. |
Healthy Wave & Higher Dose Gauss Intensity |
|
|
The HigherDose Infrared PEMF Mats do not advertise their gauss. From Our testing we were able to find a peak gauss of 4.7. |
All models of Healthy Wave Mats have higher intensities then the Higher Dose mat which were below 5 gauss. Healthy Waves most comparable mats such as the 4&5 therapy mats deliver almost 4x the intensity as the HigherDose mat does. With our new High Intensity mats delivering over 6x the intensity. |
Healthy Wave & Higher Dose PEMF Field Distribution |
|
The following are PEMF Field intensity measurements (shown on a 3D graph) we did using the same methodology we describe on our Technology page. These measurements give you an approximate idea of the PEMF field intensity over the surface of the mat at the distances of 0, 3.5, 5 and 10 inches above the mat surface. | |

The Healthy Wave uses 6-8 pemf coils on its full sized mats where the HigherDose full sized mat only uses 4 pemf coils on its full sized mat. These 4 coils are all positioned in the center of the mat near the middle and the top. This creates a limited area of the mat which receives the PEMF therapy with the foot of the mat having little to no coverage and the top of the mat only having some intenstiy near the center. Healthy Wave Mats coils are positions in pairs creating a more even PEMF field through the entiretly of the mat. With our much higher PEMF intensities the PEMF Field above the mat is significantly storger providing a much better PEMF therapy session. |
Healthy Wave & Higher Dose ElectroSmog / Dirty Electricity |
|
Through near field probe testing the Healthy Wave Mats have zero unintended voltage spikes. |
Through near field probe testing the Higher Dose Mat had zero unintended voltage spikes. |
Testing for RF Radiation the Healthy Wave Mat has 0 detectable using the TriField Meter |
Testing for RF Radiation the Higher Dose Mat has 0 detectable using the Trifield Meter |
Testing for EMF from the heating wires Healthy Wave Mats have readings below 1 milligauss | Testing for EMF from the heating wires Higher Dose mats have readings below 1 milligauss |
Both the Heathy Wave Mats and Higher Dose mats are completely free of all electro smog / dirty electricity including being free of high EMFs from the heating wires. This is good as other imitation and knock off infrared PEMF mats did not have EMF Free heating wires. |
Healthy Wave & Higher Dose Other Therapies |
|
The Healthy Wave Mats are much more then just a PEMF Mat as we say they are a “5 Therapy Mat” The additional therapies include; Far Infrared Heat, Negative Ions, Low Level Red Light Therapy and natural Crystal Energy. It is easy to receive all these therapies as well as they are all integrated into the mat! |
The Higher Dose Mats advertise similar therapies as the Healthy Wave Mats, minus the red light therapy. They include a negative Ion button but from our testing we did not get a noticeable or significant reading in negative ions from the mat. |
Overall with Healthy Wave Mats you get the additional therapies of red light therapy and much higher negative ions compared to the Higher Dose Mat. |
Healthy Wave & Higher Dose FSA/ HSA Eligibility? |
|
All Healthy Wave Mats are covered by FSA/ HSA plans. You can use this through your companies FSA/HSA plan or personal one! |
Higher Dose mats are covered by FSA /HSA plans. |
Bonus Items & Warranty |
|
Healthy Wave Mats include free covers & a sauna blanket as well as extended warranties with full warranty periods of 2+ years and limited warranties up to 5 years. There is also a lifetime trade in program. |
You must purchase covers to protect your mat separately from higher dose with their full sized cover costing $79 USD. No sauna blanket is included. The Higher Dose Mat Warranty is only 1 year long and there is no trade in program. |
Overall when comparing the original Healthy Wave Mats 5 therapy mats to the HigherDose Infrared PEMF Mats the Healthy Wave Mats offer more in virtually every category. While they are comparable in feature such as infrared heat and being electro smog / EMF free that is where is similarities end. Our team are experts in PEMF technology so have worked to ensure that our mats have top of the line PEMF Therapy in all aspects and are always working to improve the mats at well. You also get additional therapies such as red light therapy and much higher negative ions. You also get more free items such as the covers from Healthy Wave and a much longer and more robust warranty plan. Healthy Wave Mats also come in at better price points than HigherDose with our 72X24 Higher Intensity mat coming in at $1049 USD with multiple models coming in at more affordable prices as well. |
