Infrared heat therapy
What is infrared light?
Infrared light is a natural phenomenon and is part of the invisible spectrum of the sun. Infrared light provides us humans and all other living things, such as animals and plants, with the warmth that is essential for our survival. When we are in the sun, we cannot see the infrared light, we only experience this light as heat. Infrared light is characterised by its ability to penetrate deeply and heat the body from within. You can be exposed to infrared light for hours without burning or damaging your skin. Exposure to IR light has many health benefits and is completely harmless to all living things.
How does infrared heat therapy work?
Infrared radiation has a wave formation, depending on the shape and frequency of the wave, infrared radiation can be divided into long, medium and short wave infrared heat waves. Our infrared mattresses and body heaters emit a long-wave infrared heat. This heat energy can then penetrate deeper into the body tissues, including muscles, joints. As the tissues are heated, blood circulation in the area increases. Increased blood circulation leads to increased nutrient exchange and oxygenation in the cells, which can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation and promote healing. The increased blood flow has a positive impact on our cardiovascular system and lymphatic flow.
What are the benefits of infrared heat therapy?
The benefits are numerous and often related to alleviating problems with pain and aches in the body. Infrared heating is recommended for rheumatism, osteoarthritis, joint stiffness, repetitive strain injuries, sports injuries, nerve-related pain, whiplash and fibromyalgia. The improved blood and lymph circulation creates positive effects on the heart and vessels as well as on lymphatic problems or ischaemia. The heating from the infrared heat also makes the blood flow in the skin's fine vascular system, the capillaries, very effective, which creates positive effects in psoriasis, atopic eczema, burns, cellulite and gives the skin the extra nutrition that creates a fresh and vital radiance.
When Infra mattresses and body heaters are used in a way that causes sweating, there is a detox effect and increased metabolism in the body. Infrared heat has a hormonal effect where the body is stimulated to produce Oxytocin and Serotonin which creates harmony and relaxation. People with fatigue symptoms can find good help via infrared heat. It is also not uncommon to fall asleep during the treatment as the body is filled with a sense of well-being. If you have trouble sleeping, a moment of relaxation on the Ir mattress is a good basis for a quick fall asleep and a good night's sleep.
Everyone can benefit from the effects of infrared light from an infrared mattress or body warmer Healthy people who want to prevent and improve their already good health. For those who are just looking for well-being in everyday life and/or who want to slow down. People with underlying medical problems who suffer from pain to improve their quality of life. For those with injuries who want to speed up healing and rehabilitation. Prevention for sports performance Athletes who want to maximise performance and avoid injury. Sessions on the inframadrass vary in length depending on the needs and tolerance of the individual and the desired effect.
Hot stone therapy
What is hot stone therapy?
Hot stone therapy, often used in conjunction with massage, is deeply relaxing. The slow release of heat from the stones stimulates and relaxes the body. This helps the muscles, has a detox effect and can help the body heal. Hot stone therapy also softens tense muscles, relieves pain, and provides a relaxing sensation and increases well-being. The relaxation spreads through the tissues, reducing stress.
What are the benefits of hot stone therapy?
Hot stone therapy has long been recognised for its therapeutic properties and has now become a popular treatment method in the form of natural stone infrared mattresses. This type of mattress is designed to provide a combination of infrared heat and natural stones, providing a variety of health benefits.
Hot stone therapy on a natural stone infrared mattress can have multiple health benefits, including pain relief, relaxation, detox and purification. It is a safe and natural treatment method that can be used as a complement to other treatments or as a stand-alone treatment to improve health and well-being. Hot stone therapy can also help reduce stress and promote relaxation in the body and improve sleep quality.

Negative ion therapy
What are negative ions?
A negative ion is an atom or molecule that has a negative charge because it has gained one or more extra electrons. Negative ions occur naturally in the environment, especially at waterfalls, in mountainous areas and near the sea. It is common to find negative ions in the air after a rain or during a thunderstorm.
Health benefits of negative ion therapy?
Studies have shown that negative ions can have a positive effect on health by reducing stress levels, improving mood, increasing energy levels and improving sleep.
Negative ions enhance the ability of cells to utilise nutrients and remove waste products (toxins and metals), increase oxygen flow to the brain and balance the body's pH by lowering its acidity. European research has shown that negative ions increase collagen production, make cell membranes more permeable, and help strengthen the immune system.
How does negative ion therapy work?
When the body is in an environment with a lot of negative ions, this is called negative ion therapy. The natural stone in our infrared mattresses produces negative ions when heated, some stones produce more negative ions than others. You'll enjoy these health benefits when you use Luxway infrared mattresses.

Red light therapy
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy is a treatment method that uses red light to stimulate cells in the body and promote healing and recovery. Red light for phototherapy has a wavelength of 660 nanometres and penetrates deep into the skin and tissues, making it an effective treatment for a range of conditions. You can either use powerful red light therapy panels for the treatment or products with dispersed powerful LEDs that produce red light at the right wavelength, such as in our mattress pads. Red light therapy has proven to be very effective when used in combination with infrared light that deeply warms the body.
How does red light therapy work?
When red light, at a wavelength of 660 nm, hits the skin and tissues, it is absorbed by the cells and converted into energy. One important way that red light therapy works is by stimulating the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in cells. ATP is the body's energy currency and is responsible for powering cellular functions. When cells are exposed to red light, the production of ATP increases, which can boost the cells' ability to heal and recover.
Red light therapy can either treat a specific part of the body, or be completely surrounded by the red light and treat the whole body, like in our Lux-Well Exclusive sauna tunnel. There have been numerous studies showing the positive effect of red light therapy.
When using red light therapy in an infra mattress, for best effect do not cover the mattress with a towel or cover, as this blocks the red light from entering the body. Lie without clothes on the mattress and use lower heat than usual or no heat at all. You can easily activate the red light therapy from the button on the controller.
Health benefits of red light therapy
Infrared mattresses with red light therapy, combine the benefits of infrared heat and red light therapy to create a host of health benefits. Red light therapy can help increase the production of ATP in cells, which can boost the cells' ability to heal and recover. In addition, red light therapy can increase the production of collagen in the skin, which can improve skin elasticity and reduce the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines.
Red light therapy has also been shown to reduce inflammation and pain in the body by increasing blood circulation and reducing the formation of inflammation-causing molecules. This can be particularly beneficial for people suffering from chronic pain or inflammatory diseases such as arthritis.
Red light therapy has been shown to increase the production of endorphins in the body. Endorphins are natural chemicals produced by the body. Endorphins have several health benefits, including reducing pain, relieving stress and anxiety, and improving mood. When endorphins are released in the body, they can also boost immune system function, increasing happiness and well-being.
Red light therapy can also increase the production of melatonin, which can improve sleep quality and help regulate the sleep-wake cycle. Infrared mattresses with red light therapy are a safe and natural treatment method that can be used as a complement to other treatments or as a stand-alone treatment to improve health and well-being.
Low frequency PEMF pulse
What is Low Frequency Electromagnetic Pulse (PEMF)?
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field and is a therapeutic treatment method that uses magnetic fields to stimulate the cells in the body. PEMF therapy has been shown to have several health benefits.
Health benefits of PEMF
PEMF therapy can be an effective treatment method for people suffering from chronic pain, migraines, arthritis, fibromyalgia and other painful conditions. It can also stimulate cell metabolism and increase cell growth and repair. This can contribute to faster healing of injuries and diseases. Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to a decrease in bone density. PEMF can help improve bone density and reduce the risk of fractures by stimulating bone density and creating a stronger bone structure.
Studies have also shown that PEMF is effective in relieving symptoms in ME patients, the treatment led to significant improvements in fatigue, pain and sleep quality. A Danish study from 2010 has found that Electromagnetic Pulse Therapy reduces the symptoms of depression when medication is not effective or possible.
How the PEMF works
In the mattress bases included in the "Exclusive" series you will find the PEMF function. These have a built-in function that generates a low-frequency electromagnetic pulse "PEMF" of 7.83Hz (the frequency of the earth's own magnetic field) with an intensity of 3000mG. Activate the PEMF function on the control unit, and place the supplied cylinder with the magnet on the mattress to see the effect of the pulsating magnetic field.
Description of the different minerals used in Luxway infrared heating mattresses.
About Amethyst stones
What is Amethyst?
Amethyst is a purple-coloured semi-precious stone belonging to the quartz family. Amethyst has been known since ancient times and has historically been used for jewellery and decorations. Its colour was once reserved for royalty and was a symbol of power and wealth.
Amethyst occurs naturally in different parts of the world, such as Brazil, China, Uruguay, Zambia and Madagascar. Its beautiful purple colour is due to the presence of iron and manganese in the quartz crystal structure. We only use naturally coloured amethyst stone which is more valuable as the colour is indicative of the best quality. Lower quality amethyst can be manipulated to get stronger colour and unfortunately used in similar products.
What benefits are attributed to Amethyst?
Known for its therapeutic properties, amethyst has been used in traditional medicine to promote relaxation, relieve stress and improve sleep quality. It is said to have the ability to relieve pain, inflammation, promote healing and recovery from injury or illness. Helps with lymphatic drainage, rejuvenate the skin and relieve the symptoms of persistent infections such as Chronic Lyme Disease. Amethyst can also increase vitality of body and mind.
How does an Amethyst mattress base work?
Infrared rays heat the amethyst stone, which then emits infrared heat and negative ions through channels in the amethyst crystals. Amethyst delivers a strong and steady flow of infrared waves and other high vibrational frequencies. Infrared rays provide a soothing, even and deep heating of the body, stimulating healing and regeneration.
The amethyst stone is crushed into 5-20mm crystals, then tumbled to soften all edges. As the stones are small, they are sewn into channels on the mattress, which also provides an even distribution of stones over the surface of the mattress. Channel stitched stones are perceived by many as comfortable to lie on.
About Jade stones
What is Jade?
Jade is a green semi-precious stone known for its beautiful colour and durability. It is used for jewellery and decorations in many cultures around the world because of its unique beauty. It is also used to create art and sculptures because of its durability and unique properties. Jade stone occurs naturally in China, New Zealand and Canada, among other places. Jade stone is popular in alternative therapy and wellness, it is used to promote relaxation and well-being. Jade stone massage is a common treatment in which jade stone is used to massage the body and reduce tension and increase blood circulation.
What benefits are attributed to Jade?
Jade stone is considered to have therapeutic properties due to its ability to promote the body's energy flow and balance the energy system. In traditional Chinese medicine, jade stones are considered to have a cooling effect on the body and can be used to relieve pain and inflammation. When used without electricity during the summer, a jade mattress cools the body and helps with relaxation.
Jade stones have also been used to improve skin health and treat skin problems such as acne and wrinkles. It is said that jade stones can increase blood circulation in the skin and stimulate cell healing and recovery.
How does an infra mattress with Jade work?
A jade stone infrared mattress is a therapeutic mattress that combines the benefits of infrared heat and jade stone to promote relaxation, relieve pain, improve sleep quality and a range of other health benefits.
In Jade mattresses, we generally use exposed stones, so the stone itself is closer to the body for more direct heat transfer.
About Tourmaline
What is Tourmaline?
The term 'tourmaline' is used for several exclusive minerals that come in a rich and varied colour. Tourmalines are piezoelectric when heated, so they produce an electric potential (electric charge at opposite ends). They also emit infrared waves and highly negative ions when the stone is heated.
In addition to its therapeutic properties, tourmaline is also used for jewellery and decorations because of its beauty and versatility. Tourmaline comes in many different colours, including pink, green, blue, brown and black. The black tourmaline is considered to have the most powerful energy.
What benefits are attributed to tourmaline?
As a healing stone, tourmaline is said to reduce intestinal and skin problems, improve circulation and help with liver, skin and autonomic nervous system disorders. Tourmaline is also said to improve the immune and lymphatic systems, help with insomnia and stimulate regeneration throughout the body. Brown tourmaline is also considered to be an excellent grounding stone. It is said to encourage social skills and engagement, and increase empathy and creativity.
How is tourmaline used in mattresses?
Our tourmaline is a ceramic tourmaline, a special mixture of crushed black tourmaline and ceramic. Tourmaline is the stone that produces the most negative ions. When these stones are heated by the infrared heat waves from the core of the mattress, maximum negative ions are created, but also infrared heat waves in a completely natural way.
An infrared heating mattress composition
Unlike ordinary heating mattresses, which are made only with an outer cover and cotton fibre, our mats consist of many layers. Each with its own important function. Our smaller pillows and body warmers typically have nine to twelve layers; our large mattresses can have up to fourteen unique layers. Here is a typical list of the layers (different mattresses are composed in different ways):
- High quality synthetic leather, hard-wearing and easy to keep clean.
- Heavy-duty mesh fabric, Elegant weave that is customised to hold the Jade and Tourmaline stones in place.
- Jade, Amethyst or Tourmaline, stones that emit infrared rays and negative ions, which can promote blood circulation and metabolism and improve the immune system.
- Inner waterproof layer, Protects electronic parts from moisture.
- "Yellow mud" stock,Thin layer of ceramic germanite, It emits infrared rays and stores thermal energy, It emits a high concentration of negative ions.
- Electrically conductive bearings, Also generates negative ions.
- Copper mesh layer, Isolates the user from electromagnetic fields (EMF).
- Aluminium foil, Provides an even distribution of the infrared heat produced.
- Thermal layer with silicone-coated carbon fibre coils, Produces infrared waves
- Bamboo-carbon material, Absorbs any moisture and odours.
- Organic non-woven layer, Makes the mattress firmer and softer.
- Thermal insulation layers, Prevents heat from spreading to the underside of the mattress, protecting against overheating.
- Heat absorbing and heat dissipating layers, stores the energy of the infrared rays and distributes the infrared heat evenly.
- Waterproof Eleusine fabric, Durable material prevents damage and protects the mattress
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose a half-body or full-body?
A full body mattress creates a greater thermal impact on the body as a larger part of the body is the recipient of the infrared heat. The full body mattress is used on a flat surface and is used in a lying position either on the back or stomach. By using it in a lying position, you can more easily get into a deeper relaxation or sleep. A half-body mattress can be used in several different ways. They can, of course, be used in a lying position and placed on the upper or lower half of the body. Half-body mattresses can be used in a sitting position and can be placed behind your back on the sofa, over your legs or on the floor under your feet. As the weight is lower, you can also easily take your half-body mattress with you when travelling and store it in the supplied bag.
Which stone should I choose?
The choice of stone should be based above all on your own preferences, such as colour, shape, weight or attributed benefits. We have chosen to describe the benefits attributed to the various stones in this brochure in the light of Eastern beliefs.
The Eastern belief in the health effects of stones can be traced back thousands of years. The concept that gemstones, minerals and crystals have different energies and affect people's wellbeing is found in many cultures around the world, including Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine and the ancient Egyptian civilisation.
In China, crystals and gemstones have been used for over 5,000 years for their therapeutic properties and to promote balance in the body. In Ayurvedic medicine, which has its roots in India and spans thousands of years, gemstones are used as part of treatments to promote health and harmony.
All infrared mattresses/body warmers have the same heating layer with silicone-coated carbon fibre coils that generate a very effective long-wave infrared heat regardless of the stone you choose.
Can I use the mattress in bed?
It's fine to use a mattress topper in bed, as long as you don't cover it with a mattress topper or anything thicker than a towel.
How high is the EMF level?
Our mattresses are double insulated, and protected by a copper mesh to block electromagnetic fields in the 50HZ band. This makes the level almost non-existent.
