Fake Biomats

authentic biomat not knockoff

Knockoff Amazon Biomats - Fake Products on Amazon and Other Stores:

You may have noticed that when you search for a Biomat online, there are many cheaper, lower quality knock offs available. We do not carry our products on Amazon, but if you search for an Amazon Biomat mat, you will find an array of companies copying our product with lower standards of quality, safety and regulation. When it comes to Biomat alternatives (such as the Healthyline biomat), the saying ‘you get what you pay for’ couldn’t be more true.

Key Distinctions that set our Biomat apart from competitors are:

  • We use high quality gems from our own private mine in Korea which come with a gem certificate (unlike competitors that use cheap heat treated gems or plastic resins combined with gem powder.)
  • Our Biomats are free from EMFS which can be proven and confirmed by a TriMeter and the EMFs are blocked in the controller itself (unlike competitors that put a layer of foil in their mats and call it EMF protection, but does not pass the test of the Trimeter.)
  • Our Biomats come with 1 year full warranty, and 3 year limited warranty. And for the 4th year onwards you can always get the unit repaired in our manufacturing facility for a low fee. So your investment is protected long term.
  • Our Biomats are safe to put on any surface (including memory foam and leather) since it has insulating layers, unlike cheap knock-offs.
  • Our Biomats have patented technology included the TOCA layer and quantum layer which make our mats more powerful at delivering far infrared and negative ions.
Don’t be fooled by low prices and looks alone.
With the rise of the internet and mall marketing sites such as Amazon and Alibaba, shopping is easier than ever. Websites like Kickstarter make it easy to showcase a new product concept and raise the funds to make the product a reality. However, with the ease of convenience comes a few perturbing, and in some cases, hazardous down sides.

Here's what you should know about Amazon Biomats:

For business owners and product innovators, the growth of the internet and internet mall marketing websites has been both a blessing and a curse. While the internet makes it easier for visionaries to get their products out onto the market, it also makes it easier for those willing to replicate ideas for their own gain. In the modern age, a new product concept could be advertised or posted to a site like Kickstarter, and a knockoff of that very product could be advertised for sale on Amazon or Alibaba by a copycat manufacturer in a matter of weeks.

CNBC reported on this very issue this time last year. Many reputable businesses are feeling the effects from knockoff Amazon Biomats, particularly from China, that undercut on price and gain the unknowing shopper’s attention through questionable business practices, such as jumping seller ranks on Amazon through an abundance of fraudulent positive reviews or making dubious claims and comparisons regarding the knockoff product.

Furthermore, while it is easy enough to copy the look of a product and have it look the same to the average Joe or Jane, the overall quality, functionality, and effectiveness of the final product are what truly matters.

The Biomat®, Knockoff Heating Pads,and FDA registered medical device Registration Compliance

A product as advanced and groundbreaking as the Biomat is definitely not immune to such knockoffs. The Biomat is a state of the art far-infrared healing device which also produces beneficial negative ions. It is unlike anything seen on the market.
Scores of heating pads have flooded internet mall marketing sites from a few (mostly) Chinese-based manufacturers. Some manufacturers try to imitate the look of the Biomat and some infringe upon our registered trademark, “Biomat®,” to describe their basic heating pads to mislead consumers.

Unlike Amazon "Biomat" Knockoffs, we are registered as a medical device

The Biomat® is an FDA-registered Class II medical device (FDA Registration #2954299)

To the average consumer, it may seem like a sweet deal to purchase a heating pad that looks the same as an original Biomat with a lower cost. While in some cases, cheaper items can be considered a substantial value, like most other cases, Biomat knockoffs are a prime example of “you get what you pay for.” Be wary of Amazon Biomat knockoffs.

Richway & Fuji Bio Inc is  the official importer, specification developer and complaint file establishment for the Biomat® and as the manufacturer through Richway & Life Co. (R&L) in South Korea. This means that Richway & Fuji Bio Inc is completely responsible for the designing, developing, manufacturing, and servicing of the Biomat®.

Most sellers of knockoff products do not manufacture; most act solely as distributors. They have no legitimate input into the manufacturing and design of their products. These knockoff sellers generally outsource to a third-party manufacturing facility (usually in China) and slap their brand name on to the final product.

While most of these knockoff competitors claim they are FDA registered medical devices registered to sell their brand of basic heating pads, a quick search from the FDA database will reveal that many of these distributors are not registered as they say. To be completely compliant with the FDA as a distributor of a medical device, the manufacturer and importer/distributor of the product must be registered with the FDA. 

The parties must be listed as such. Some manufacturers of knockoff heating pads are registered with the FDA registered medical device. However, the importer/distributor and entity handling quality control (company in the United States) are usually not registered.

This further proves that they are not involved in the manufacturing of their products. Richway & Fuji Bio and our contract manufacturer, Richway & Life (R&L) Co., are both currently registered with the FDA  in a compliant manner.

Studies, Tests, and Certifications

The Biomat is a medical device which has been consistently developed and improved over the past 20 years. Because the Biomat has been proven effective in many applications, many medical practitioners use it in their practice to help their clients. Many other businesses including yoga instructors and massage therapists use the Biomat to enhance their classes and sessions.
An abundance of studies involving far infrared and thermotherapy exist. Many knockoff companies relate these studies to their heating pads. While these studies do highlight and prove the many benefits of far infrared rays and even negative ions, the positive results were not the results of subjects using the knockoff heating pads.

On the other hand, the Biomat® itself has been the main subject of a few studies and featured in a few books. Dr. George Grant of the International Academy of Wellness (IAW) conducted a study on the Biomat which is published in the Prime International Journal of Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Medicine.Unlike the knockoff products currently on the market, the Biomat has undergone rigorous testing and has many certifications to prove its safety and efficacy. The Biomat has been properly registered with the US FDA registered medical device, South Korean FDA registered medical device, and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency of Japan as a medical device. The Biomat has also been certified for electrical safety.

Our CSA certification indicates the Biomat and Bio-belt™ have been evaluated by CSA and found to comply with their requirements for their standards. The CSA certification provides increased assurance of quality and safety to consumers.
Richway & Fuji Bio and R&L also currently have the ISO 13485 certification indicating our quality management systems have been audited and certified to meet the standards of the International Standards Organization.

Do Your Research and Buy with Confidence

Many knockoff manufacturers are just starting up, and while many claim to have superior warranties, many come with fine print and technical wording that make them sound better than they are. Why take a gamble on a company that may be here today and gone tomorrow?

Also, be wary of what you read on the internet. Not all reviews and health blogs are legitimate. This includes Amazon Biomat reviews. Some reviewers receive kickbacks for positive reviews. Do your research and check multiple sources, so you can make an informative purchase that’s worth your hard-earned money.

We recommend asking these pop up companies for material certification of the component pieces in the product. For example, are they using genuine high quality crystals like Richway Biomats with a gem certification? Or are they heat treating to disguise lower quality stones? Are they using synthetic crystal powders and plastic resins with VOC emissions that are made to look like crystals? Besides saying the words “EMF Protection” on their materials, have they actually tested the products for electro smog / EMFs with a trimeter to confirm EMFs are blocked in the entire mat, or are they just putting a layer of foil in the mat and calling it good? In our Biomats, the EMF is blocked at the level of the controller unlike any competitor, and it can be tested and confirmed for safety from EMF emission.

When you order a Richway Biomat®, you can rest assured that you will be able to attain superb service. We’re different from medicrystal mats, HealthyLine biomats, because we come with a class-leading warranty and repair program. Your purchase is backed by a company in business for 20 years and counting with the tools and resources necessary to ensure that you get the most out of your purchase. Don’t go for the knockoff biomats, or a medicrystal mat, or a Healthyline, get the best of the best! Get a Richway Biomat today!

"I had chronic aches and pains throughout my whole body and I was constantly exhausted; I was stuck in stress mode. Within three months of using the biomat, my aches and pains disappeared and I finally felt I that had caught up on the sleep that I had been craving. I had mental clarity. I was totally renewed, rejuvenated, and I could sustain my energy again. Now, when I jump on for 15 minutes, any imbalances or stresses in my body are resolved quickly. The biomat has truly saved my life."
Amber Leiv Monaghan, Maui, Hawaii
"I love my Biomat. I sleep on it all night. One hour at the top red and the rest of the night at one yellow. It has made HUGE changes in my health.My hands and feelt have always bothered me. Even with elevating them all night they would still be swollen every morning and would just get worse every day. Now- I wake up with my bones sticking out - like every other person. By the end of the day I may have some swelling but nothing like it used to be. I also have both hips replaced and a triple back fusion. The Biomat makes a HUGE difference in my pain level - pain free. LOVE IT."
C.L. Keswick, Va.
"Laying on the mat gave me a great deal of comfort….I feel relaxed…Walking on clouds….Amazing experience…The mat brought calm, relaxation and good feeling….I will recommend it to everyone….Try it once and you will not regret it…Thank you!"
Carmen Tomescu Vancouver, BC
"I have been suffering from chronic neck and back pain for over 3 years, after being involved in an accident with a semi. I went through 10 months of physical therapy, 3 MRI's, 4 EMG tests, 36 spinal injections, a trip to the emergency, and countless prescriptions for pain and nothing seemed to be working. I was becoming desperate and depressed until I was introduced to the Biomat. After only 2 months of using the Biomat I can now say that I am pain free. It is the only thing that has helped me not only with my pain, but with my attitude as well. I love my Biomat."
Rene McFadden
"As a researcher and promoter of quality health products, I am always searching for the most effective. Personally, I am very electro-magnetic sensitive, which limits my time and use of some wonderful products. What I found most interesting with the AMETHYST Biomat is that it seems my core resistance to electro-magnetics is becoming stronger. I can go to the grocery store, use other electrical products, sit at the computer and even on the phone much longer than before, which is a true God-send. Thank You!."
M. Arnold, MN.
I am writing this letter of testimony, to share what the Bio-Mat has done for me. Using the Bio-Mat helped to decrease body aches and other ailments like sore throat and muscle pains. I am also able to relax and sleep better at night. By sharing the Bio-Mat with my friends, it eased their body aches and pains as well. The Bio-Mat is a helpful way to relieve body ailments and I give a thoughtful thank you.
Efigenia Ventura
"My wife and I are very active an exercise regularly. I am a dentist and because of the nature of my profession, many times I have lower back or neck pain. We both look forward to the 30-40 minutes we spend on the Biomat to help alleviate aches and pains and in addition find that our energy level is rejuvenated. We highly endorse this product and recommend it to anyone who is very active or those suffering from chronic pain."
Miki & Dr. Steve Jarvie
“Until I first tried the Biomat in November 2005, I relied on physical therapy and analgesics to control the pain I endured from multiple injuries I suffered over 25 years as an ironworker. I was unable to move my head from side to side without turning my upper body. Every joint in my body ached. My sister had given me the Biomat and Alkal-Life water unit to use in September 2005, but I was skeptical. She finally convinced me to try the may for my pain for a week and report to her. Each day I seemed to be getting better. I started slow and easy as she recommended and at the end of the week I was doing an hour daily on the red setting. After a few days of this, I noticed that every injury I had suffered while working iron surfaced, then gradually disappeared. I also suffer from COPD and use oxygen tanks daily. After the first week, I decided to hook up the Alkal-Life water unit. I began with an 8.5 pH. Instantly, I felt my brain clear. I guess I was getting more oxygen. I have been using the Biomat a few times a week and drinking alkaline water daily. I am now pain free ( I no longer need physical therapy and analgesics ). I have more energy. I still require oxygen occasionally when I overexert myself. I used to feel “disabled” and useless. My life is now fuller than I imagined it could ever be at my age. The Biomat and Alkal-Life Water System have greatly improved my life.”
T. Traversie of Ridgeview, SD
“I first experienced the biomat at a health expo. After 10 minutes of laying on it I was amazed that it took away my hip and knee pain that I’d been unable to find relief from after several different treatments including chiropractic and physical therapy. As a pharmacist I was really impressed that it worked so much better than anything my traditional background had led me to. My experience stuck with me so when we opened a holistic skincare and cosmetics spa, I insisted we include the biomat. Since using the biomat regularly in conjunction with drinking alkaline ionized water, I have been pleasantly surprised at the improvement. I am so happy how much better I feel and how much more energy I now have. I look forward to sharing it with as many people as I can.”
Cynthia Cisneros, RPh
"Far infrared ray emitting Biomat increases blood circulation and oxygen supply to damaged tissues (aiding reduction of joint and muscle pain or sports injuries), promotes relaxation and comfort, induces sleep and relieves as shown in this case study."
Dr. George Grant

"When I developed symptoms of COVID-19, I discovered that my Biomat was an ESSENTIAL part of my self-care and recovery plan. I started having COVID-19 symptoms three days after treating a patient that turned out to be COVID-19 positive. With my underlying health conditions, I was an at-risk individual. I experienced all the symptoms, including shortness of breath and chest pain and pressure. After resting on the Biomat, my lungs would feel clearer and move more freely. I could breathe easier, as if the "stuckness" in my chest was breaking up. The warmth felt wonderful when I had chills, warming me from neck to toes, and calming my nerves. When I'd experience headaches, a rest on the Biomat would clear the pain completely. The sensations of burning chest pain and pressure would also significantly lessen, and my kidneys ached less. When I slept on the Biomat, I would sleep more deeply, and I woke with more energy. My symptoms remained mild-moderate, and I never needed to be hospitalized. I was grateful to have our Biomat." Dr. Erika Fayina's center: https://chiyucenter.com/
Dr. Erika Fayina Marie, DACM
" I am a massage therapist and my hands were beginning to hurt when I would do treatments. Sometimes they would also swell up and it would hurt to bend my fingers. The Biomat has changed that. I use the Biomat on my patient and receive healing myself. I am also overweight. The Biomat has reduced my pain, swelling and stress. Can't get much better than that!"
