These and other pads expose the body to alternating positive
and negative fields, when used as directed. This stimulates the brain and body
to fix the problem themselves. People can get good results initially, but over
time the body's reserve of energy will get drained and the benefits will
diminish. It is often recommended to take a two to four week break from these
type of pads to restore the body's energy levels.
Even if a company promises a pure
negative field, if their instructions are to place the sleep pad on top of
your bed, you will not receive a pure negative field. The magnets may be
facing negative side up but you will still be exposed to positive spikes
coming off the magnets. The body is exposed to unnatural alternating negative
and positive fields. View a diagram of
MagnetiCo Classic Sleep Pad's negative field penetrating the whole body.
The Nikken pads have a listing of under 1,000 (Gauss).
Fewer and smaller magnets (5/8" diameter and 3/16") are placed farther apart
producing a weaker magnetic field. The shallow field doesn't penetrate the
whole body, even though the pad is on top of the mattress.
There are many different competing
magnetic mattresses and the selection can be confusing. Some useful questions
to ask salespeople are:
How many magnets are in the pad? How strong are the magnets & how strong is the field the pad produces? What size are the magnets. What kind of guarantee is offered? What is the weight of the pad? Is the pad placed on top of the mattress?
