   Relaxing, heals deeply, but for stronger *immediate* relief, try far infrared (FIR) or heat.
   Update: I have had this mat for quite a while now. It does give off more heat if I lie in my bed with it on the mattress, and even more if I cover myself with it, or lie on it with a blanket on top of me. It gets quite warm this way, and I will sweat. Although NIR doesn’t give off as much heat as FIR, this is the way you can get this NIR mat to warm you up quite a bit, if you’re looking for that benefit of sweating out toxins.Along with stretching my joints and using a vibration plate for pain, this mat is really helping. It relaxes me, helps my muscles recover from using the vibration plate and stretching and using dumbbells a bit faster, and reduces inflammation over time. Also helps soreness I get from massaging stiff parts. I do have to wait for myself to heal, but lying on this mat is very relaxing and does seem to speed things up. I am in a much better place than I was before I started using this mat. I still need my NSAIDs and sometimes Lyrica, but I have been able to take a walk without agnozing pain afterward, for the first few times, in a long time.==End of update==This mat is very well-constructed from what I can tell. I noticed no weird smell. I can see how it would withstand yoga poses and such. I just lie on it in different positions to let the near infrared (NIR) penetrate everywhere I can. According to sources I read, NIR can penetrate “up to several centimeters” and deeper than far infrared (FIR), and you won’t feel a lot of heat from NIR. If you want a more immediate soothing relief from heat, you’ll want a different mat that has FIR, or an electric blanket. However, over time, the exposure to deep-penetrating NIR is shown to reduce inflammation and speed healing of tissues, and goes deeper. If you want to warm up with this mat, covering with a blanket might get you sweating a little.Something about lying on this mat is extremely soothing. I relaxed enough yesterday that when I took my usual muscle relaxer after using the mat, I got a lot more sleepy than usual, as if I had accidentally taken a double dose! For a while, I wondered why the med was hitting me so much harder than usual, and this happened twice, so it must be this mat, either the red light or the NIR. I bet if I used it before bed, I would have no problem falling asleep straight away. It’s pretty wild, actually. In particular, if I lie on my *stomach*, the relaxation response is pretty quick and very noticeable, and I can get drowsy.In one week, I have gone from 3-4 muscle relaxers per day to 0-2. I can feel endorphins doing their thing even right now and I haven’t used the mat yet today. I still need the NSAID, though. If I improve even more, I will update my review. Healing takes time, and fibromyalgia is especially difficult to manage, so perhaps if you have a different condition, it would work even better and faster for you.Also, the red light does seem to have firmed up the surface texture of my skin quite a bit in a short amount of time, but I do spend a long time on the mat each day, up to 90 minutes.I am very eager to see what more time does with this mat.One more thing—the company is easy to deal with. I had a problem applying a coupon and they were very quick and accommodating.

   It works well.
   I was worried that it would have issues, but I’ve had it for a few months now and it works great. I did take great care of it though.

   Helpful in relieving aches.
   It is relaxing to lie on the red light therapy mat. It’s a bit cold for the first minute but warms up quickly.

   Unsure of efficacy
   Before I bought this mat, I had a small panel that I used daily. Using the panel twice for 20 minutes exponentially improved my back. I replaced the panel with the mat and stopped using the panel. My back pain returned despite me using the mat regularly in the highest setting for 30 mins.I would like some kind of documentation that the wavelengths emitted are as listed.

   Makes You Sleepy
   This made me extremely sleepy after using it. So it’s definitely doing something. I would not recommend using in the morning, but I’m new to this so hopefully I’ll get use to the tired feeling. I think using it in the evening would definitely help you sleep but if you lay it on your bed before sleep you will need to remove it from your bed and unplug it for sure before going to sleep. The plug into the mat and the wall plug gets extremely hot, hot to touch. Would be afraid to leave it plugged in.

   Love my Red-Light Mat!
   I love my red-light mat and use it 3- times a week. I purchased it because I had had a hip replacement in 2017 and my hip started hurting really badly again. It did take a little while to completely relieve the pain, but it felt a little better after every use. I am now completely pain free and when I do start to feel any pain, just lying on it for 30 minutes will make me feel so much better!

   FUMES so bad, made my asthma worse
   The outer layer is like foam rubber. I kept a fan on it for 2 1/2 weeks solid. It never made a dent in the fumes. The fumes were so bad that it caused me to have a sore throat and headache & made my asthma worse! These fumes are toxic & dangerous. Yes, I got an excellent price & the LEDs worked fantastic. But I can’t take the fumes any longer. It’s dangerous. I am beyond sorry that I have to send it back.

   Excellent quality but not for me
   Mine arrived and it was well packed and easy to set up. I used it twice and it just was not for me – I figured out that I needed something smaller and more portable. However, I was impressed by this blankets 5 settings of intensities. It produced a soothing heat. It has an easy to use timer and a helpful guide for instructions. The product is well made and I highly recommend it. I believe it would have helped my mom who suffered from chronic pain all over her body. I appreciate the return process and how easy that was as well. Before sending it back, I throughly cleaned the product and wrapped it up exactly like it had been shipped to me.
