KINETTIK Mat
Recover smarter with the KINETTIK Mat — red and near-infrared light built into a foldable mat, made for your post-training routine.
660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared LEDs in one mat. Lie down, set the timer, and make light part of how you recover — after a hard session or at the end of a long day.
Why athletes use it
- Red + near-infrared in one session – 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared LEDs working together.
- Three sizes – The Double zips open for one or two people, or closes into a sleeping-bag-style wrap. The Single is a full-length open mat for one person. The Small is a compact open mat for one area — back, legs, core or shoulders — held in place with two elastic straps.
- Your settings – Constant light, 10 Hz or 40 Hz pulsed modes, five brightness levels and a 10–60 minute timer.
- Built for regular use – Tested by the manufacturer for 4–8 hours of continuous operation. Home and commercial use.
- Foldable – Packs into its storage bag for home, gym or travel.

Session Guide
Starting points only — not medical advice. Session times are based on the measured output at P5, the highest setting: approx. 3.0–3.6 mW/cm² across the mat. P1–P4 and the pulsed modes give less light.
- Standard session – 30–60 min · constant · P5 · 3–5 × per week
- Double, zipped – 40–60 min · constant · P5 · front and back at once
- Single, or Double open – 30 min on your back, then 30 min on your front · constant · P5
- Small – 30–60 min per area · constant · P5
- First 1–2 weeks – start at 20–30 min · constant · P5 · add 10 min a week
- Evening wind-down – 20–30 min · 10 Hz · P1–P3 · a comfort setting with lower output
Maximum 60 minutes per session. Lie directly on the mat or in thin clothing — thick layers reduce the light that reaches you. Consistency over intensity.

About the light output figures: "At direct contact" is the light at the surface of each LED, where your skin touches the mat — these are the manufacturer's stated figures. P5 is confirmed by the manufacturer's measurement of an assembled mat at full brightness: 145–155 mW/cm² at direct contact and 3.0–3.6 mW/cm² at 5 cm, in line with the figures calculated from its laboratory LED tests (July 2026). The LEDs are about 3.6 cm apart and cover about 2% of the light area, so the average across the whole area is lower (Small: slightly higher average, ≈3.34 mW/cm² at P5). The pulsed modes give lower output because the light switches on and off.
Cleaning & Care
Between users, wipe the light surface with an alcohol-free disinfectant (e.g. Clinell Universal Wipes, or F10SC diluted 1:500). Daily, wipe with a little dishwashing liquid in water, then a clean damp cloth, and dry. Avoid alcohol sprays for routine cleaning, bleach, solvents and abrasive pads. Full routine in the user manual.
Safety & Precautions
⚠ Always wear the protective glasses. Do not look directly at the LEDs.
⚠ Do not use if you are pregnant; photosensitive or taking photosensitising medication; have a history of skin cancer or any active cancer; have epilepsy (the pulsed modes flicker); or have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device.
⚠ Do not use over open wounds, infected skin, active skin conditions or areas of severe inflammation without medical supervision.
⚠ Do not fall asleep on, or sleep inside, the mat while it is switched on. Maximum 60 minutes per session.
⚠ Stop immediately if you feel discomfort, dizziness, excessive heat or skin irritation.
⚠ Keep the mat dry; never use it wet or with wet hands. Not for children without supervision.
⚠ Consult a doctor before use if you have any medical condition or concern.

Dual Wavelength Therapy
Red Light Therapy - 660 nm
Red Light Therapy (660 nm) works primarily on the surface of the body, penetrating the skin and upper muscle layers. This makes it highly effective for recovery and repair close to the skin. By stimulating cellular energy production (ATP), red light accelerates muscle recovery, eases soreness, and reduces inflammation. It also promotes collagen production, which supports faster healing of cuts, bruises, and abrasions while improving overall skin health and appearance. Beyond physical recovery, red light has been shown to calm the nervous system, helping reduce stress and regulate natural sleep cycles—benefits that are valuable for both athletes and everyday people looking to feel and perform at their best.
Near-Infrared Light Therapy - 850 nm
Near-Infrared Light Therapy (850 nm) penetrates much deeper than red light, reaching into muscles, joints, and even bone tissue. Unlike red light, near-infrared light is not visible to the naked eye, but its benefits are powerful. By stimulating energy production at a deeper level, it helps reduce muscle fatigue and stiffness, while improving circulation to deliver more oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. This enhanced blood flow accelerates recovery, supports joint health, and improves mobility, making it especially valuable for athletes managing high training loads as well as individuals dealing with chronic aches or joint pain. Over time, near-infrared therapy supports whole-body wellness, building resilience and promoting long-term health by working beneath the surface where the body needs recovery most.

FAQ
Got questions? We’ve got the answers
How does the KINETTIK Mat compare to a red light panel?
Mat and panel figures are not measured the same way, so the numbers cannot be compared directly. Panels are measured at a distance, usually around 15 cm, where the light from hundreds of LEDs has blended into one even beam. A panel concentrates its light on a smaller area, so it delivers more light per minute and sessions are shorter — typically 5–15 minutes per area. The KINETTIK Mat is measured at direct contact, at the surface of each LED: up to approx. 130 mW/cm² at the highest setting (P5), with the manufacturer’s measurement of an assembled mat reading 145–155 mW/cm². The LEDs are about 3.6 cm apart and cover about 2% of the mat, so the light is spread across your whole body. Averaged across the mat, output at P5 is approx. 3.2 mW/cm² — measured at 3.0–3.6 mW/cm² at 5 cm. That is why Mat sessions are longer: 30–60 minutes at P5.
What is red and near-infrared light?
Red light (660 nm) is visible. Near-infrared light (850 nm) is invisible to the eye and reaches deeper than red. Together they are two of the most widely studied wavelengths in light-therapy research, often called photobiomodulation (PBM).
How does the KINETTIK Mat work?
The Mat has 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared LEDs across its whole light area — 6,720 in the Double, 3,360 in the Single and 960 in the Small. Lie on it, or zip the Double closed like a sleeping bag, set the time, brightness and mode, and relax. It is built to make light a regular part of your recovery routine at home.
What does the research say?
In a 2022 meta-analysis in Sports Medicine, photobiomodulation improved cycling time-to-exhaustion and single-joint endurance, but showed no effect on running, swimming, sprint or strength. Reviews of whole-body light beds have mostly found no clear effect on performance or recovery. These studies used their own devices and doses, not the KINETTIK Mat. We publish the Mat’s measured output so you can see exactly what it delivers.
What’s the difference between 660 nm and 850 nm?
660 nm red light is visible and is absorbed mostly near the surface of the skin. 850 nm near-infrared is invisible and reaches deeper. About a third of the Mat’s light output is red and two-thirds near-infrared.
How long is a session, and what settings should I use?
A standard session is 30–60 minutes at P5, constant mode. The Double zipped covers front and back at once (40–60 minutes). On the Single, or the Double open, do 30 minutes on your back, then 30 minutes on your front. On the Small, 30–60 minutes per area. In your first week or two, start at 20–30 minutes and add 10 minutes a week. P1–P4 and the pulsed modes give less light — use them as comfort settings.
How often should I use it?
3–5 sessions a week, 30–60 minutes each at P5. Consistency over intensity.
Is it safe to use regularly?
The Mat is built for regular use, up to 60 minutes per session. Wear the protective glasses, use it on clean, dry skin or in thin clothing, and stop if anything feels uncomfortable. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor first. The KINETTIK Mat is a general wellness product and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition.
Can I fall asleep on the Mat?
No. Sessions run on a timer of up to 60 minutes. Do not fall asleep on, or sleep inside, the Mat while it is switched on.
Who should not use the Mat?
Do not use it if you are pregnant; photosensitive or taking photosensitising medication; have a history of skin cancer or any active cancer; have epilepsy (the pulsed modes flicker); or have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device. Do not use it over open wounds, infected skin, active skin conditions or areas of severe inflammation without medical supervision. Consult a doctor before use if you have any medical condition or concern.
Do I need to wear the glasses?
Yes, for the whole session. Protective glasses are included — 2 pairs with the Double, 1 pair with the Single and Small. Near-infrared is invisible, but the LEDs are very bright up close.
Can I use the Mat in my studio or practice?
Yes. The manufacturer has approved the Mat for commercial use and tested it for 4–8 hours of continuous operation, and the 1-year warranty covers home and commercial use. Wipe the light surface between users with an alcohol-free disinfectant.
