Bemer Group Review: The Company Behind the Bemer Mat
The Bemer Group is a Liechtenstein-registered company that has sold PEMF mats since the 1990s, entirely through independent distributors rather than shops. That multi-level marketing structure, not the hardware, is the main reason a new Bemer set costs what it does.
Bemer mats are not sold in shops. Every new set goes through an independent distributor, and that single fact shapes the price you pay, the warranty you get, and how hard it is to compare a Bemer against anything else. This page covers who the Bemer Group is, how it grew, what it actually sells in 2026, and how it operates in the United States.
What the Distributor Model Adds to the Price
BEMER Group publishes a US list price for each set. What the company does not publish is how that money divides between the hardware, the distributor who sells it to you, and the network above that distributor. So start with what can be stated exactly: what each current set costs, and what is in the box.
| Set | List price | What the extra money buys | PEMF signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic-Set Evo | $4,590 | The entry point: B.Box Evo controller and the B.Body Evo mat, plus stand and power supply | Identical |
| Classic-Set Evo (B.Body) | $5,490 | Adds the B.Pad Evo wearable pad and the B.Spot Evo spot applicator | Identical |
| Classic-Set Evo (B.Bed) | $5,490 | Swaps in the larger B.Bed Evo mat, plus the B.Pad Evo and B.Spot Evo | Identical |
| Premium-Set Evo | $5,890 | Both mats, the B.Pad Evo, the B.Spot Evo and the B.Grip Evo handle | Identical |
US list prices, sold only through BEMER distributors. The PEMF signal is the same in every set and has not changed since 2007. BEMER does not publish a distributor margin, so I do not quote one.
Two things follow from that table. The first is that the $1,300 between the cheapest and the most expensive set buys applicators, not a different therapy. The second is that the whole price level sits on top of a sales structure that pays a commission on every unit, which is the honest answer to why a mat costs this much. I do not attach a percentage to it, because BEMER does not publish one and nobody outside the company can verify one. For the full set-by-set breakdown, including the discontinued sets, see our current Bemer set prices.
Bemer Group Company Background
The Bemer Group began in central Europe in 1990 as a family run business, and in 1998 it took the shape it has today, with a holding company registered in Liechtenstein as INNOMED International AG.
In 1999 the Bemer 3000 was introduced and the company patented its Bemer PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) signal. That signal is what the marketing usually calls Bemer Therapy.
From 2003 the Bemer Group expanded internationally, using a multi-level marketing structure to build brand awareness. It now sells in dozens of countries, and its United States arm is Bemer Group USA.
Multi-level marketing, also called network marketing or referral marketing, is a sales structure that recruits new distributors who then pass a share of their sales up to whoever recruited them. Wikipedia's entry on multi-level marketing is a reasonable place to read the general definition.
Modern Day Bemer Group
Inside that structure, the people who sell Bemer are called IBDs, short for Independent Bemer Distributor. They are not employees of the company, and every new mat reaches its buyer through one of them.
In 2007 the Bemer Plus Signal was added to the product line, first to the Bemer 3000, and it carried over in 2010 when the Bemer Classic and Bemer Pro sets launched. Since then the underlying PEMF technology has stayed where it is. The signal running in a new Evo set is the 1999 Bemer signal with the 2007 Plus signal on top; what has changed is the controller, the applicator lineup and the packaging. Our guide to the Bemer signal itself goes through the waveform, the frequency and the intensity.
The fact that matters most on this page
Bemer's PEMF technology has not changed since 2007. A Bemer 3000 from that year, a Pro, a Classic and a new Premium-Set Evo all produce the same signal. Later money buys a nicer controller and more applicators, not a different therapy.
The company has also taken the technology beyond people. The Bemer Horse Blanket applies the same idea to animals, and it sits alongside the human product line rather than replacing anything in it.
If you would rather read the underlying literature than the marketing, the PubMed index for PEMF is where the published research sits.
Bemer Group Products
Bemer sells a small range of PEMF products and one light therapy product. Bemer Light Therapy, sold as B.Light, is red light rather than PEMF, so despite the shared brand it is not the same thing as the Bemer Therapy the mats deliver.
The current line, sold new through distributors:
- Basic-Set Evo, Classic-Set Evo in a B.Body or a B.Bed version, and Premium-Set Evo. Every one includes the B.Box Evo controller, which is never sold on its own.
- Beauty-Pack Evo, the B.Light light therapy applicator. It is not PEMF, and it still needs a B.Box from one of the four sets.
Discontinued, and now mainly a used-market concern:
- Bemer Pro Set and Bemer Classic Set, the two best-known older systems
- Bemer Starter-Set and Bemer Deluxe-Set, plus the Office-Pack and Go-Pack applicator add-ons
- Bemer 3000, the original; units made from 2007 onward run the current signal
One compatibility trap is worth knowing before you shop: Evo components do not work with Pro-line applicators, and Pro-line applicators do not work with an Evo controller. Pro-line applicators are still sold new for owners of older systems. Every set price, current and discontinued, is listed on our Bemer products and prices page.
Buying Outside the Distributor Network
Because the signal has not changed since 2007, the therapy in a well-kept older set is the same therapy as in a new one. That is the entire argument for the second-hand route, and it is why we track used Bemer mats for sale and publish typical used asking prices by model. Those are asking prices, not sold prices.
Caution A used set is a warranty-free set.
BEMER Group does not honor its warranty on units bought outside the distributor network, so price a used Bemer as hardware with no manufacturer cover behind it. Check that the controller and the full-body mat are both included, and read the item description rather than the headline.
The other way around the distributor chain is to buy a mat that never had one. Some PEMF makers sell direct at a single published price, with a home trial window instead of a distributor relationship, which makes the price much easier to check. We put the Bemer next to a mat sold direct, not through distributors, feature by feature elsewhere on the site.
Bemer USA
Bemer Group USA is the United States arm of the group, and its US base is in Carlsbad, California.
To sell in the United States, Bemer went through the FDA's 510(k) premarket notification route. That is a clearance process, not an approval, and the difference is larger than most Bemer marketing admits. We take it apart in our guide to what the FDA clearance actually says.
Bemer Group: Common Questions
Is Bemer an MLM?
Yes. BEMER Group sells through a network of independent distributors, called IBDs, rather than through shops. That structure is multi-level marketing, also known as network marketing or referral marketing. There is no retail channel for a new set: it reaches you through a distributor.
Is Bemer a pyramid scheme?
Multi-level marketing and pyramid schemes are not the same thing. A pyramid scheme pays mainly for recruiting people rather than for selling anything real, while Bemer distributors sell a physical device that ships to the buyer. I am not aware of any regulator finding that BEMER Group operates a pyramid scheme, and I do not claim that it does.
Where can you buy a Bemer?
New Bemer sets are sold only through independent Bemer distributors, at BEMER's published US list prices, and the controller and mat are only sold together as a set. Used sets change hands on the resale market, where the seller decides the asking price.
Does the MLM structure make a Bemer more expensive?
A distributor network has to be paid for out of the sale price, so it is part of what a set costs. I do not publish a markup percentage, because BEMER does not publish one and no reliable outside figure exists. What I can say is that the signal is identical in every Evo set, so the price differences between sets buy applicators rather than a different therapy.
