Sedona Elite PEMF Mat: THE SHORT VERSION
3.8out of 5With a wide frequency and intensity range, full control and a dual applicator, the Sedona Pro/Elite is the most capable mat you can get when it comes to PEMF technology. It’s expensive, and there are no returns, but for the right person it’s well worth it.
Right for
- Those who want full control. Set any frequency, intensity, and waveform, without limitations.
- Those that want to multiply their treatment. Run the mat and applicator together, on different settings.
- Those with a budget. This mat isn’t cheap.

Welcome to my Sedona PEMF Mat Review! The Sedona line offers 3 options: The Pro, the Pro Plus and the Elite. They only differ in the amount of preset programs and some functions. On paper they are all in a different league from most mats you’ll come across. The Sedona is a full body system made for serious daily use, whether you’re after pain relief, recovery, deeper sleep, or you just want to stay on top of your wellness.
A few things set the Sedona system apart. You get a full size mat plus a separate local applicator, so you can treat the whole body and work on one sore spot at the same time. It goes much higher in intensity than something like a Bemer, and you have full control over frequency and waveform. And besides the preset programs, you can dial in any frequency and intensity you want and save it, so you build the session around what you actually need.
Sedona PEMF Mat Specs and Features
Reading the Spec Sheet
0.01-15,000HzPEMF Frequency Range
PEMF frequency is the number of times per second the magnetic field goes through its cycle, and it’s counted in hertz. The Sedona PEMF Mat runs anywhere from 0.01 to 15,000 Hz. That’s an extremely high range and remarkable technology, so there isn’t a treatment or condition you can’t cover with it.
0.3-100GaussPEMF Intensity
Intensity is the strength of the magnetic field the mat puts out, and it’s measured in gauss. The Sedona goes from 0.3 all the way up to 100 Gauss. That’s high, closer to what a clinic uses than to the usual home mat, so it matters that you can turn it down, and on the Sedona you can set it to whatever you want.
Sinusoidal, Square, Sawtooth, Multi-ImpulseWaveform
The waveform is the shape each pulse takes over time, and that shape decides how fast the field rises and how fast it falls. The Sedona Pro/Elite gives you four: sine, with a soft rounded rise and fall; square, which switches sharply on and off; sawtooth, a steady climb and then a sudden drop; and multi impulse on top of those.

What It’s Like to Own the Sedona PEMF Mat
Everything else on this page can be measured. What follows can’t, and none of it tells you whether the Sedona PEMF Mat is a good mat. What it might tell you is whether you’ll still be using it a year from now, and that’s the question that actually matters.
Portability
high
The mat is light and foldable. It’s easy to carry and take with you on your travels, but you’ll have to use your own bag, as Sedona doesn’t provide it.
Versatility
fair
This is a PEMF-only mat, but the versatility is given by the dual applicator you can use at the same time as the mat, with independent settings.
Comfort
very high
Probably the most comfortable mat to lie on. It’s thick, and it’s got a lot of cushioning. The pillow adds another layer of comfort on top of it.
Sedona Pro/Elite PEMF Mat Functions and Controls
How you control it
Sedona Controller
The digital controller on the Sedona Mats is a good quality touchscreen computer, and that’s where you personalize your treatment. Depending on the model, it has 16 or 32 preset programs split into two sections, wellness and longevity. Then there is a custom section, where you can save 8 programs of your own with whatever frequency, intensity and waveform you like.
What Settings Does the Sedona Elite PEMF Mat Have?
The Sedona Elite mat comes with a few features you won’t find on any other PEMF mat.
Frequency control
ADJUSTABLE
The two models of the Sedona mats slightly differ here. The ELITE model gives you full control over the frequency by using the custom program. The PRO model only lets you choose the frequency by using the preset programs.
Intensity control
ADJUSTABLE
It works the same as for the frequency. The ELITE model gives you full freedom, while the PRO only lets you change the intensity via the preset programs.
Special Functions
DNA FREQUENCY
Only available on the ELITE model, this feature is not entirely clear. Sedona claims, and I quote: “By converting the constant magnetic field into a variable one using wave genetics, this system has been upgraded to communicate with DNA in a language understood by it”.
Waveform Selection
4 Waveforms
You get four to choose from, sine, rectangular, sawtooth, and multi impulse, and each one shapes how the session feels. Smoother waves come across gentler, while sharper ones deliver a stronger, more energising pulse, so you can match the feel to whatever you’re using the mat for.
Sedona Elite PEMF Mat Accessories
Dual Applicator
The one accessory you get with the Sedona Pro/Elite is the external pillow applicator, and it’s a good one. You can use it on its own or together with the mat, and the best part is that both can run at the very same time. On top of that, each one can have its own frequency and intensity, so the mat and the applicator work independently. The flip side is that the applicator is pretty much all you get. No carry bag, no case, nothing. On a cheaper mat I wouldn’t mind, but for what the Sedona costs, leaving out something as basic as a bag feels a bit stingy.
Sedona Elite PEMF Mat Warranty and Returns
Warranty
2 Years
You can pay $375 to upgrade the controller’s (not the mat) warranty to lifetime. But that doesn’t make claims free: if the mat or pillow applicator break, it’s $250 to replace it, or $1,250 if you never upgraded, or if the 2-year standard warranty has expired. Check policy.
Returns
No Returns
They consider their PEMF mat a “health device”, so all sales are final and no returns are allowed. You can still cancel before you’ve received the shipment, for a 15% fee, or claim a defect within 7 days of delivery. Outside those two, there’s no looking back.
HSA/FSA payment is not available, so you cannot use your health savings or flexible spending account funds on this product, unfortunately.
Sedona Pro vs Elite Models
The Sedona PEMF mat comes in three models, the Pro, the Pro Plus, and the Elite, each stepping up in features and price. They share the same core engine, running the same frequency range, intensity, waveforms, and all coming with the handy pillow dual applicator.
So the mats themselves and their raw power and reach are identical whether you buy the cheapest model or the most expensive. What you pay more for as you move up is programs, customization, and the Elite’s DNA frequency feature. Here’s how the three compare where it counts:
| Feature | Pro | Pro Plus | Elite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preset programs | 36 | 36 | 16 |
| Custom programs | None | 12 | 8 |
| DNA frequency | No | No | Yes |
| Run two programs at once | No | No | Yes |
The Elite is the only model with the DNA frequency feature, and the only one that runs two different programs at once, one on the mat and one on the applicator. That means two areas, or even two people, can be treated independently at the same time.
If you just want standard PEMF for less, the Pro or Pro Plus will serve you well. But for the full toolkit and Sedona’s most advanced software, the Elite is the one to get.
Sedona Elite vs Bemer
There’s a big discussion on the web about which ones in the best. The clearest difference is control. A Bemer mat runs on just two fixed frequencies, 10Hz and 33Hz, and the only thing you can really adjust is the intensity. The Sedona Mats, by contrast, give you the full 0.01 to 15,000 Hz range, four waveforms, and the freedom to set and save your own programs. So where Bemer keeps you on a fixed signal, the Sedona lets you tailor your sessions to whatever you’re working on.
Then there’s power. Bemer sits at the very low end of the intensity scale, while the Sedona reaches all the way up to 100 Gauss when you want a stronger session.
This is why a lot of people who’ve owned both end up preferring the Sedona. They like that it goes lower and higher, and that they’re no longer stuck with standard settings. Bemer is a quality device with loyal fans, but if you want more range, more power, and more flexibility, the Sedona gives you far more to work with.
Is the Sedona PEMF Mat Worth it?
3.8out of 5
My FInal verdict
The Sedona PEMF Mats are, in my opinion, the most capable PEMF mats you can buy. The wide frequency range, the high intensity, four waveforms and full control over all of it mean it can do almost anything another mat can, and then some. Add the dual applicator and the DNA frequency, and you have a system that really stands apart from the rest.
It isn’t cheap, and that’s the main thing to think about. It’s a premium device at a premium price, and there are no returns. But you get a serious piece of PEMF mat that’s close to a clinic-level, professional device.
If you want the most complete and flexible PEMF mat out there, the Sedona is hard to beat. For the right person, it’s worth every penny.
