FAQs

Will it work for me?
It is estimated that in excess of 120 million people around the world use magnetic therapy. Published studies demonstrate a success rate of 75%-95%.

Many customers find their pain disappears completely, while others say the pain has eased to a level where they feel a marked improvement in their quality of life.

Magnetic theraphy has been known help with conditions including:

Arthritis (Osteo and Rheumatoid), back, neck, hip, shoulder and limb aches and pains, circulation problems, Sciatica, Headaches, Sports Injuries, Muscular Cramps, Sleeplessness, and Stress.

What should I do differently?
We recommend you increase waster consumption when you first purchase your magnetic underlay. This is because your body will be detoxifying because of the improved blood circulation. We recommend that for the first two weeks at least, you increase your water consumption to around two litres per day.

Are the magnets sewn into your underlays?
Yes they are fully quilted in.

Are your underlays machine washable?
We do not recommend you machine wash the MagBlanket Supreme. We advise airing it regularly in the sun, and spot clean it with warm soapy water. No dry cleaning either.

Can I use my magnetic underlay together with an electric blanket?
Yes. The underlay simply fits over the top of your electric blanket, or any other mattress protector you may have on your bed. There should only be a sheet between you and your MagBlanket Supreme.

What are the sizes/measurements of your underlays?
Single 920mm x 1880mm (3' X 6'3")
Double 1380mm x 1880mm (4'6" x 6'3")
King 1530mm x 2030mm (5' x 6'6")
Super King 1830mm x 2030mm (6' x 6'6")

Why choose a woollen underlay?
Sleeping on a pure wool underlay does have some unique benefits. Wool absorbs and dissipates excess body moisture created while sleeping, so the sleeper is kept in a more normal state and the heart rate stays constant. The result is less movement during sleep and a better night's sleep.

Wool has a natural ability to assist in temperature regulation. Thermal balance is probably the single greatest determining factor to a good night's sleep and wool's pile naturally cushions the body reducing the loads being placed on pressure points.

Wool breathes with your body, providing warmth during winter while absorbing your body’s moisture during summer to keep you cooler.

How do magnets work?
There are currently two widely accepted theories as to the effect that magnets may have on your body. The first theory involves the effect that magnetic fields have on blood supply. There are many charged ions in your blood, which naturally are either attracted or repelled by magnetic fields. The aforementioned action is thought to cause widening of the blood vessels in the area where the magnet is being used, which in turn 'draws' oxygenated blood into the painful area. This improvement in blood circulation eases the swelling around injured or deteriorated joints, or areas of inflammation, and thus is a perfect form of pain relief.

The second theory involves the effect that magnetic fields may have on nerves and pain-sensation. Pain-sensitive nerves all around your body, 'fire' more often during bouts of pain & discomfort, sending an almost constant message to the brain which is then perceived as pain. When exposed to magnetic fields, however, theory suggests that these pain-sensitive nerves are inhibited and thus 'fire' less frequently. This is perceived by the brain as reduced pain. As is common knowledge, when you perceive less pain, you relax more and are less likely to suffer from secondary muscle cramps and tension.

Are magnetic underlays safe for everyone to use?
If you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, or sleep with an insulin pump it is not recommended that you sleep on magnetic products. However, there has never been any evidence that magnetic therapy is harmful for pregnant women.

Pacemakers - Most cardiac pacemakers these days are adequately shielded against the effects of mild external currents and magnetic fields, HOWEVER we always recommend that you do not use magnetic therapy products until such time as you have checked with your doctor to obtain his/her approval.

If you have surgical implants in your body, there is no evidence to suggest that magnets will have a deleterious effect on them, or on yourself.

If you wear a watch or have a hearing aid, you may like to remove those items at night when sleeping on a magnetic underlay, because it may slow the battery.

Please note: IN THE CASE OF PREGNANCY OR IF YOU HAVE A PACEMAKER, A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER SHOULD BE CONSULTED BEFORE USE.

How long do magnets take to work, and will they always work?
This depends very much upon the individual, and although studies have often indicated a range of between 2 - 14 days, sometimes longer. We stress the importance of persevering.

Will it affect my personal medication?
Drugs may become more effective because of your improved circulation, and may need to be reduced or even discontinued as your body changes.

How does it fit?
MagBlanket Supreme is very simple to use – just fit the elastics straps around your mattress. 

How long will the magnets last in the MagBlanket underlays?
We offer a lifetime guarantee on the magnets used in our magnetic underlays. The strength of the magnets will not noticeably diminish during your lifetime.
