Before a Session
Consult a doctor
It is generally safe to use your Ereada® mat for negative ion generation on the lowest temperature levels. However, it is strongly recommended to consult a doctor before using the mat at medium or high heat settings.
Power supply
Our mats are available in different voltage versions. Customers in the United States and countries using 110–120V / 60Hz should order the 110–120V version. Customers in Europe, the UK, and other regions using 220–240V / 50Hz should order the 220–240V version.
We recommend ordering the mat with the correct voltage for your country. Using the appropriate voltage version ensures safe and reliable operation.
We do not recommend using step-down transformers. If you order the correct voltage version (110–120V or 220–240V), the mat can be connected directly to the appropriate grounded power outlet.
Hydration
Proper hydration is very important when using the Ereada® mat. Drink plenty of water or mineral water and replenish essential minerals and electrolytes, especially if you are sweating during high heat sessions or using the mat for longer periods.
Drink water before and after your sessions. It is also recommended to keep water or fresh juice nearby during the session.
Arrange your space
Prepare your mat area to create a calm and private environment. You will benefit most from your Ereada® mat when it is used in a quiet, stress-free setting.
Many people prefer to use the mat with a blanket and relaxing music. Turn off notifications on phones and electronic devices and avoid interruptions during your session.
Protection cover
It is strongly recommended to use the special high-absorption heat-permeable protector cover included with your mat. This multilayer cover is designed to protect the mat from moisture, liquids, stains, lotions, and dust.
The cover prevents sweat and spills from reaching the mat while allowing heat and moisture to pass outward. It is permeable to far infrared heat, PEMF, and negative ions. However, it may reduce some conductive heat and block red light. For photon sessions, you may prefer to use the mat without the cover, while protecting your eyes with dark glasses if you are looking toward the LEDs.
The 3-D pad construction also helps distribute body weight evenly across the stone surface, improving comfort when lying on the crystals.
The protector is useful both for home use and for professional settings. If additional softness is needed, you can add a cotton sheet, towel, or blanket made of natural fibers on top.
Since the protector slightly reduces conductive heat, you may want to set the temperature slightly higher when using it.
Overheating
Always cover the mat completely during use or preheating. Partial coverage can interfere with the temperature sensors and cause incorrect readings.
Avoid placing thick or non-permeable materials, especially heavy wool or synthetic blankets, on the mat. These materials may trap heat and trigger the overheat protection sensors repeatedly.
Placing a pillow or other non-permeable object on the heating surface can also disrupt the sensors. When sensors receive inconsistent readings, the controller calibration may be affected.
Using the mat properly and avoiding overheating will help extend its lifespan.
Clothing
For best results, avoid synthetic clothing during sessions. Cotton or other natural fibers are recommended when using the Ereada® mat.
Open skin pores
Some users find it beneficial to dry brush the skin or take a warm shower before using the mat. This can help remove dead skin cells and open the pores, which may improve sweating and the body’s natural cleansing process during sessions.
