Can I use the Mat in Slightly Bent Condition

Most of our amethyst mats are not very flexible. They are relatively stiff because of the high-density compressed cotton layer at the bottom of the mat. This layer helps insulate and protect the heating elements, sensors, and other internal electronics while also directing heat upward.

If the mat includes Photon and PEMF functions, it will typically be thicker and slightly more rigid.

At the same time, Ereada mats use twisted titanium heating elements, which are very durable.

In general, we do not recommend bending the mat, as keeping it flat helps ensure a longer product life. Using the mat flat reduces stress on the heating elements as well as on the PEMF and Photon components inside the mat.

During normal use the mat will bend slightly under body weight, which is completely normal and not a problem. You may still use the mat in different positions if needed, but it is best to minimize bending whenever possible. For example, if you use a mini mat behind your back while sitting and reading in bed, you may place a firmer pillow behind the mat to provide additional support and reduce bending.
