The Basics

What is a Biomat?

A Biomat is Richway & Fuji Bio Inc.'s layered far-infrared heat mat, combining adjustable warmth with an amethyst surface. The Mini, Professional, and Single models are sized for different spaces and routines. Follow the current instructions and labeling for the exact model you choose.

How does far-infrared therapy work?

Far-infrared is experienced as heat. The Biomat warms its mineral layers to create broad, even surface warmth. We do not claim a specific penetration depth.

Is the Biomat FDA approved?

FDA clearance and FDA approval are different. Some exact Richway Biomat models may have 510(k) clearance for specific labeled uses. Check the current manufacturer labeling and FDA database for the model you are considering; clearance does not support unrelated health claims.

What are negative ions and why are they important?

Negative ions are electrically charged particles. We do not promise mood, sleep, or energy benefits; check the exact model specifications for any output information.

How is the Biomat different from a heating pad?

Both provide warmth, but the Biomat offers a larger format, layered construction, an amethyst surface, and model-specific temperature and timer controls. Compare size, materials, heat range, instructions, and warranty for the exact products that fit your routine.

Is the Biomat the same as an infrared sauna?

They are different experiences. An infrared sauna warms an enclosed space, while a Biomat gives you a warm surface to sit or lie on as directed. Check each product's temperature limits and safety instructions separately.

Where is the Biomat manufactured?

Biomat products are made by Richway & Fuji Bio Inc. The current label and manufacturer documents for the exact model are the best sources for manufacturing origin, certifications, and technical specifications.

Comfort, Safety & Common Questions

Can the Biomat help with sleep?

Many people use a low, comfortable setting as part of an evening wind-down. Better sleep is not guaranteed; follow the model manual, especially before any overnight use.

Does the Biomat help with pain?

Some exact Biomat models may have FDA-cleared labeled uses involving temporary relief of specified minor aches. Verify the current labeling for the model you choose. A Biomat is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment of chronic or severe pain, so discuss persistent symptoms with a healthcare professional.

Does the Biomat help with circulation?

Warmth can feel soothing. If you have impaired circulation or reduced heat sensitivity, ask a healthcare professional before use and follow your model's labeled guidance.

Can the Biomat help with stress and anxiety?

A warm, quiet session can feel relaxing. It is not a treatment for anxiety; seek qualified care for persistent or severe symptoms.

Can the Biomat help with constipation or digestive issues?

Warmth may feel pleasant, but no digestive benefit is established. See a clinician for persistent or unexplained symptoms.

Can I use the Biomat if I have a medical condition?

If you are pregnant, have reduced heat sensitivity or circulation, cannot reposition yourself easily, use an implanted medical device, or have another condition that could make heat unsafe, ask a qualified healthcare professional before use and review the safety warnings for your model.

Can children use the Biomat?

A child should use a Biomat only when the exact model's instructions permit it and a responsible adult provides the required supervision. Children may not recognize excess heat quickly, so ask a pediatrician before use whenever there is a health concern.

Products & Pricing

What is the difference between the Biomat Mini, Professional, and Single?

The main differences are size, portability, and placement:

  • Mini (19.69 × 33.47 in) — Compact and portable for a seat, lap, or back-sized relaxation routine.
  • Professional (27.56 × 72.84 in) — A full-length surface for stretching out on a massage table, sofa, or suitable flat floor.
  • Single (39.38 × 78.76 in) — The widest, longest choice for a twin or single-bed setup described in the model manual.

Compare included items and follow the placement instructions for the exact model before ordering.

How much does a Biomat cost?

Biomat pricing varies by model. Visit our shop page for current Mini, Professional, Single, and accessory prices, then compare the dimensions, included items, free U.S. shipping, 30-day return window, and applicable limited three-year warranty.

Which Biomat should I buy?

Picture where your relaxation routine will happen. Choose the Mini for compact, portable warmth; the Professional when you want room to stretch out; or the Single for the roomiest bed-size setup. Measure first, compare included items, and follow the exact model's placement instructions.

Does the Biomat come with a warranty?

Yes. Richway & Fuji Bio Inc. provides a limited three-year manufacturer warranty for eligible Biomat products. Coverage, exclusions, service, and possible charges follow the manufacturer's current written terms; see our warranty page for details.

Usage & Care

How long does a Biomat session last?

There is no single session length that suits everyone. For an easy introduction, begin with a brief session at the lowest comfortable setting, then follow the timer and duration guidance in the manual for your exact model. Stop if the warmth becomes uncomfortable.

Is the Biomat safe to use every day?

A Biomat can become part of a daily relaxation routine when the current model instructions permit it. Begin with a brief session at the lowest comfortable setting, stop if the warmth is uncomfortable, and follow all supervision and sleep-use directions in the manual.

What temperature should I set my Biomat to?

Choose by comfort and follow the instructions for your exact model:

  • Lowest setting — A gentle place to begin and get used to the feel of the mat.
  • Medium setting — A cozier option when the manual allows it and the warmth stays comfortable.
  • Higher settings — Use only while awake and able to notice and respond to excess heat.

The surface should feel comfortably warm, never painfully hot. Stop if you feel burning, dizziness, nausea, weakness, or other discomfort.

How do I clean and maintain my Biomat?

Switch off, unplug, and let the Biomat cool before cleaning. Follow the care label for the removable cover and the manufacturer's instructions for the mat and controller. Keep electrical components dry and avoid sharply folding, crushing, or puncturing the mat.

Can I use the Biomat on my bed?

Use a Biomat on a bed only when the exact model's instructions permit that surface and arrangement. Keep the setup simple, do not add bedding or insulation the manual does not allow, and do not use it overnight unless the model manual allows overnight use.

How long does it take to feel results?

You should notice the mat becoming evenly warm during a session, but every person's comfort and routine are different. There is no guaranteed timeline for pain, sleep, circulation, stress, or another health result. Stop if the warmth becomes uncomfortable.
